Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 255 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 run a workgroup or small office of 10-25 people that needs A3 (11x17) mono print, copy, and scan in a real network MFP.
  • You print 2,000-5,000 mono pages a month, mostly letter and legal with some ledger.
  • You want a real Kyocera A3 MFP with the SMARTtech consumable design, not a desktop unit.
  • You scan multi-page originals daily and a 75-sheet RADF is enough.
  • You have a Kyocera dealer who stocks TK-6307 toner and services this generation.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 6,000 pages a month — the chassis is rated for 40,000 but you'll work toner harder than ideal.
  • You want Wi-Fi but didn't budget for it — wireless LAN is an optional accessory.
  • You're replacing an older TASKalfa 255 or comparable A3 mono — operators recognize the platform.
  • You need duplex scanning — the RADF reverses originals; if scanning is your main job, look at single-pass DSPF on a current model.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color — mono only. Look at TASKalfa 250ci or current TASKalfa MZ3501ci.
  • You print more than 6,000 pages a month — step up to TASKalfa MZ3200i.
  • You need security to pass an IT audit — TPM, Secure Boot, FIPS 140-2 are not on this generation.
  • You need the latest HyPAS app platform — the 8.5-inch touchscreen runs an older UI than current models.
  • This is a legacy product — confirm consumable supply with your Kyocera dealer for the next 3-5 years before buying.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 255 is an A3 monochrome multifunction printer built for workgroups of 10-25 people that need 11x17 mono print, copy, and scan in a real network MFP without paying for the current MZ-series. It prints and copies at 25 ppm A4 (13 ppm A3) with 600 x 600 dpi (Fast 1200 dpi available), first-copy-out in 7.8 seconds. Standard paper capacity is 600 sheets across one 500-sheet cassette and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, expandable to 1,600 sheets with optional cassettes. The 75-sheet reversing ADF handles multi-page scans, and standard auto duplex print and copy is included. Scan destinations include SMB folder, email, FTP, USB, TWAIN, and WSD. The 8.5-inch color touchscreen runs Kyocera's older UI — functional but a generation behind the current HyPAS panels on TASKalfa MZ-series. The thing buyers actually like: SMARTtech consumable design and Kyocera's long-life drum reduce total cost of ownership against equivalent HP and Canon A3 mono MFPs at this volume tier. The thing buyers regret: ordering this when an HP or Canon contract would have been cheaper to support, since the TASKalfa 255 platform is legacy. Confirm with a Kyocera dealer who services this generation that TK-6307 toner, drum, and developer are stocked for the next 3-5 years before buying. The current equivalent is the TASKalfa MZ3200i. Mono only — buy the TASKalfa 250ci or 255c for color.
