Editor's Pros & Cons
PROS: The Kyocera Mita KM-1510 possesses modest speeds for its copy and print functions, with 15 copies per minute and 18 pages per, respectively. Output speed for initial copy is fast at only 6.3 seconds, with warm up time at approximately below 30 seconds. With an optional 16 MB RAM for its copier memory, the Kyocera Mita KM-1510 can handle simultaneous tasks with ease and efficiency. It’s also capable of producing fast prints that carry 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution, a feat not usually found among copier/printer combination machines. For its copy function, the Kyocera Mita KM-1510 has a 600 x 600 dpi, with halftone levels set at 256. Magnification is also an available feature, with 4 preset ratios, 2 each for reduction and enlargement, and a 50-200% zoom capability. CONS: While the Kyocera Mita KM-1510 isn’t exactly built to address high-speed print and copy needs, it still comes in relatively lacking in this regard. Its 18 ppm is significantly lower compared to other printers/copiers in the market, like Brother’s DCP-7030, which clocks in at a rate of 23 pages per minute. The Kyocera Mita KM-1510 is also hefty at 55 lbs and with its dimensions measuring 19.5"W x 19.6"D x 14.8"H,, as other similar printers weigh about half of Kyocera Mita KM-1510’s weight and a bit smaller in size. Also, other printers carry a standard 32MB memory without any upgrade compared to Kyocera Mita KM-1510’s 8MB, not to mention that its copier memory while optional is still only at 16MB. The Kyocera Mita KM-1510 also lacks duplexing option which is a feature that can be found on similar printers. Customer Reviews For Kyocera Mita KM-1510
