Universal Design

KYOCERA believes that improving the usability of its products leads to enhanced operational efficiency for the customers that use its products. This doesn't just save time, it can also reduce resource use by avoiding the waste caused by mistakes that arise when the functionality of the product is not fully understood. Aiming at producing genuinely easy-to-use products, the company aims for simplicity of operation and consistent user experience across the entire product range.

Low-Noise Design in Office Environment

What should KYOCERA Document Solutions MFPs be like?

Developer's statement:
Following numerous discussions, every KYOCERA Document Solutions employee is constantly pursuing “what the customer wants most” as well as “quality that warrants customer satisfaction.” Reducing a product's operational noise even by a single decibel (dB) requires an incredible amount of effort. In particular, in the case of multifunctionl product that are often used beside one's desk, the realisation of a non-disruptive level of operation noise was a major issue. In making these improvements, we were able to achieve levels five decibels (dB) quieter than when compared to prior machines.

Long-life KYOCERA printers

TONER COMPARISON: KYOCERA FS-C5200DN vs. HP Colour Laserjet CP2025DN

When using a printer it is usually necessary to replace a complex toner cartridge, containing the photoconductor drum and peripheral parts, every few thousand pages. Instead, KYOCERA has implemented a long-life design concept utilizing various ECOSYS technologies, including a-Si (amorphous silicon) drums, so that only the toner needs to be regularly replaced. As a result, as many as 300,000 pages can be printed with having to replace anything except toner, significantly reducing both waste and cost.
