Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 520i 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 buy refurbished Kyocera hardware at deep discount
  • You print 15,000 to 40,000 B&W pages a month
  • You operate other 520i units and want fleet consistency
  • You want low Kyocera cost-per-page on long-life drums
  • Your operators are trained on the older non-touchscreen UI
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if optional fax covers a workflow
  • It's fine if you stockpile spare consumables
  • It's fine if monthly volume swings between 10K and 40K
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need current Kyocera security firmware
  • Skip this if Kyocera Cloud Print integration matters
  • Skip this if you also need color from the same engine
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Kyocera's TASKalfa 520i prints A3 at 50 ppm in B&W (the catalog 'Color' tag in this record refers to the model family naming, not the engine — the 520i is mono). Enterprise-class older Kyocera MFP designed for offices doing 15,000 to 40,000 B&W pages a month. Standard duplex print, scan to email/SMB/FTP, optional fax, and DF-770 stapler/hole-punch finishing. Ecosys long-life drum architecture for low cost-per-page. One regret: the 520i is end-of-current-generation Kyocera hardware. Service support continues but firmware updates are infrequent and the older non-touchscreen UI feels dated next to current i-series machines. Most replacements move to a TASKalfa 5004i or 5054ci for current security and Kyocera Cloud Print integration. 520i fits at refurbished pricing for steady-state offices that don't need new firmware features.

FAQ

Kyocera TASKalfa 520i, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Kyocera TASKalfa 520i ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 34,000 pages at 6% coverage.

The Kyocera TASKalfa 520i is an older A3 monochrome MFP with a 50 ppm print speed and a monthly duty cycle of 15,000 to 40,000 pages, featuring a non-touchscreen UI and end-of-generation firmware. In contrast, the Kyocera ECOSYS MA6000ifx is a current-generation A4 monochrome MFP with a faster 62 ppm print speed, a higher monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages, and a modern 7-inch color touchscreen. The MA6000ifx also offers better connectivity options, including optional Wi-Fi, and a more advanced document processor.
