Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 2550ci is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 2,000 to 6,000 A3/A4 pages a month for a 10-25 person office.
  • You want a Copystar A3 chassis at low used-market price.
  • You scan light volumes at 48 ipm.
  • You'll add optional fax for occasional use.
  • You're cost-sensitive and don't need 1200 dpi.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if 600 x 600 dpi works for daily docs.
  • It's fine if you accept 12K mono and 6K color toner yields.
  • It's fine if you keep the 1,100-sheet input.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you can buy a 2552ci/2553ci/2554ci instead — better specs, similar pricing.
  • Skip this if you need 1200 x 1200 dpi.
  • Skip this if you push past 8,000 monthly.
  • Skip this if you need 11x17 finishing.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 2550ci is an older A3 color MFP at 25 ppm color and mono with 600 x 600 dpi resolution — a workhorse for small-to-mid office floors that need volume document handling at modest cost. The 1,100-sheet standard input handles a few days of paper, optional finishing covers stapling and stacking, and scan speeds run 48 ipm at 300 dpi or 25 ipm at 600 dpi via the duplex feeder. Network-ready, optional fax, OEM toner yields are 12,000 pages B/W and 6,000 pages each color. Optional finishing covers staple stacking and booklet making for short runs. Footprint is roughly 22 x 26 inches and weight is around 240 lb on the standard pedestal. Power runs on 110-127 V at 12 A. The 8.5 inch color touchscreen drives the Kyocera HyPAS solution platform for scan-to-folder, scan-to-email, and authentication apps. Honest regret: this is the oldest of the Copystar 25 ppm chassis — newer models (2552ci, 2553ci, 2554ci) all offer better resolution, faster scans, and more storage at similar pricing on used market.
