The Kyocera ECOSYS M8124cidn is a colour multifunction device (MFP) based on laser technology, designed for use in small offices and workgroups with up to 20 users. The device combines printing, copying, and scanning functions in a compact design and supports formats up to A3 size. It is based on ECOSYS technology, which enables high operational reliability and low running costs through long-lasting components such as drums and developer units. Toner is the only consumable that requires regular replacement, simplifying maintenance and reducing waste.
Applications
This device is particularly suitable for teams requiring high print performance with low operating costs. The recommended monthly workload is between 2,000 and 5,000 pages, with a maximum capacity of 100,000 pages per month. The integrated HyPAS platform enables scalable integration into existing IT infrastructures and offers extended connectivity options.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features an automatic duplex function for printing, copying, and scanning, allowing double-sided documents to be created without manual flipping. Print speed is up to 24 pages per minute in black and white and colour in A4 format; for A3 format, it is 12 pages per minute. The first page is delivered in black and white within 7.5 seconds and in colour within 10.2 seconds. Print resolution is 1200 x 1200 DPI, with a maximum resolution of 9600 x 600 DPI specified. The copying function also achieves 24 copies per minute in A4 format, with the first copy delivered in black and white within 7.6 seconds and in colour within 9.8 seconds. The N-in-1 function allows up to four document pages to be combined onto one page. Additional features include barcode printing, watermark printing, toner-saving mode, secure printing, and poster printing.
Technology Explained Simply
The laser printing technology ensures sharp text and clear colours. The ECOSYS technology uses long-lasting ceramic components that last significantly longer than in conventional laser devices, reducing maintenance costs. The HyPAS platform enables integration of additional features such as cloud connections or enhanced security functions. The device features a touchscreen control panel with a size of 10.9 cm (4.3 inches), enabling intuitive operation. The integrated security function includes SSL, IPsec, and the option for confidential printing, where documents can only be retrieved after authentication.
Compatibility and Accessories
The device supports various document formats such as PDF and XPS, as well as image formats like JPEG, MMR, and TIFF. It can be connected via network (10/100/1000BASE-T[X]), USB 2.0, and optionally via WLAN (802.11 b/g/n). The scanning function enables colour scanning with an optical resolution of 600 x 600 DPI and a speed of 50 pages per minute in single-sided mode and 16 pages per minute in duplex mode. The device can be expanded with various accessories, including toner cartridges (TK-8115K, TK-8115C, TK-8115M, TK-8115Y), maintenance kits (MK-6110, MK-8115A, MK-8115B), SSD hard drives (HD-6, HD-7), under-cabinets (CB-470, CB-472), paper feeders (PF-471), and security kits (Data Security Kit). The paper capacity is 500 sheets standard, with a maximum capacity of 1,600 sheets achievable through additional feeders. The output capacity is 280 sheets.
Installation and Mounting
The device is designed as a desktop system and can be placed directly on a desk. Installation is performed via the integrated interfaces, with network connection being the most common connection method. Operation is via the touchscreen display, which is also used for configuring network and security settings. Setup is simple due to the intuitive user interface and does not require special technical knowledge.
Operational Advantages
Operation of the device is particularly economical due to the ECOSYS technology. Long-lasting components reduce maintenance costs and waste. The security functions such as SSL, IPsec, and confidential printing protect sensitive data. The high print speed and automatic duplex function increase productivity. The integrated HyPAS platform enables flexible expansion of functions according to requirements. The low noise emission of 47.3 dB(A) in print mode ensures quiet operation in the office.
