Why Choose the Kyocera TASKalfa 356ci Colour Multifunction Printer?

Professional Colour and Monochrome Printing

The machine prints up to 35 A4 pages per minute in both colour and black and white. This performance supports routine office correspondence, internal reports, presentations, and business documents. High-resolution output helps produce clear text, detailed graphics, and polished colour materials.

The combination of colour and monochrome printing gives teams flexibility without requiring separate devices for different document types. Automatic duplex printing also makes double-sided document production straightforward.

Convenient Copying and Scanning

The integrated copier handles everyday duplication tasks, including multi-copy jobs and document enlargement or reduction. Users can adjust magnification from 25% to 400% in one-percent increments. These controls are useful for resizing forms, reproducing handouts, and preparing documents for distribution.

Scanning brings paper-based information into digital workflows. Optional document processors can help handle multi-page originals, with one-path duplex scanning available through the compatible dual-scan processor. This is useful for archiving records, sharing documents, and reducing repetitive manual work.

Flexible Paper Handling

The standard 600-sheet input capacity accommodates regular office printing without frequent replenishment. Optional paper feeders can expand the capacity to as much as 3,100 sheets in supported configurations. This flexibility benefits departments handling larger print runs or several document types.

The multipurpose tray also supports different media, including compatible envelopes, labels, and heavier paper. Always check media specifications and tray compatibility before using specialist materials.

Practical Network and Mobile Printing

Gigabit Ethernet enables the printer to join a compatible office network for shared printing. Supported mobile-printing options can provide additional convenience for teams using compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Network administration features help IT teams manage a shared device in an organised environment. Security capabilities include network authentication and encrypted communication protocols, subject to configuration and firmware support.

Designed for Regular Office Workloads

Kyocera’s TASKalfa range is intended for demanding business document environments. The 356ci combines core multifunction features, expandable paper capacity, and optional finishing accessories. These capabilities make it suitable for offices seeking to consolidate several document tasks into one platform.

The stated maximum monthly duty cycle is a manufacturer rating, not a recommendation to print that volume continuously. Actual performance depends on document complexity, operating conditions, maintenance, and consumable condition.

Suitable Applications and Users

The Kyocera TASKalfa 356ci fits medium-sized offices, educational institutions, professional service firms, administrative departments, and organisations producing frequent colour documents. It can support reports, proposals, training materials, forms, correspondence, and internal documentation.

Schools and training centres can use it for handouts and administrative records. Corporate teams can share printing and scanning across departments. Professional offices can digitise paperwork and prepare consistent document sets.

It may also suit businesses needing optional fax functionality or expandable paper handling. Before purchasing, assess expected monthly usage, required paper sizes, scan volume, and available finishing options.
