Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 2551ci 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 10-30 people that needs A3 (11x17) color print, copy, and scan in a floor-standing chassis.
  • You print 3,000-8,000 pages a month, mix of color and B&W, mostly letter with some ledger.
  • You want the refreshed Kyocera color platform with HyPAS apps and 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution (the prior 2550ci ran 600 dpi native).
  • You scan multi-page originals daily and a 75-sheet RADF is enough.
  • You have a Kyocera dealer who stocks TK-8327 series toner and services this generation.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 10,000 pages a month — the chassis is rated for 100,000 but you'll work toner cycles harder than ideal.
  • You want Wi-Fi but didn't budget for it — wireless LAN is an optional accessory.
  • You add fax later — fax is an optional accessory, not standard.
  • You're replacing the older 2550ci — same chassis category, refreshed UI and resolution.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 10,000 pages a month — step up to TASKalfa MZ3501ci.
  • You need current enterprise security (TPM, Secure Boot, FIPS 140-2) — get the TASKalfa MZ3501ci or MZ4001ci instead.
  • You need single-pass DSPF — this is RADF, slower for heavy duplex scanning.
  • You don't have a Kyocera dealer — the TK-8327 series toner is dealer channel only.
  • This is a legacy product — confirm consumable supply with your dealer for the next 3-5 years before buying.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 2551ci is an A3 color multifunction printer built for workgroups of 10-30 people that need 11x17 color print, copy, and scan in a floor-standing chassis. It's the refresh of the 2550ci, with 1200 x 1200 dpi native resolution (up from 600), a 7-inch color touchscreen running an updated HyPAS UI, and a faster first-page-out (5.9 seconds B&W / 7.4 seconds color). It prints and copies at 25 ppm in both color and B&W (13 ppm A3). Standard paper capacity is 1,150 sheets across two 500-sheet cassettes and a 150-sheet multipurpose tray, expandable to 7,150 with optional cassettes and a high-capacity feeder. The 75-sheet reversing ADF handles multi-page scans to SMB folder, email, FTP, USB, TWAIN, and WSD destinations. Auto duplex print and copy is standard. The thing buyers actually like: the 1200 x 1200 dpi native resolution and updated HyPAS UI close most of the gap with the current MZ-series at lower entry cost, and the SMARTtech consumable design keeps operator-level swaps simple. The thing buyers regret: choosing this over a current MZ3501ci for an office that needs TPM, Secure Boot, and FIPS 140-2. Those are not on the 2551ci. Confirm with a Kyocera dealer who services this generation that TK-8327 series toner, drum, and developer are stocked for the next 3-5 years. Fax is optional, not standard.
