Older 50 ppm A3 B&W enterprise MFP for 15K to 40K pages, refurbished fit for offices not chasing new firmware.
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.
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.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
