The Kyocera KM-3035 is suitable for a busy workgroup. It prints and scans in monochrome. It can also copy and fax, and has some finishing options available.The KM-3035 is just as big as the colour-capable MFDs we looked at. It has a very fast print engine capable of 30ppm, and it has a much larger paper capacity compared to the HP4100.
It ships standard with two 500-sheet paper trays and a 200-sheet multi purpose tray. We received the KM-3035 with a 3000-page additional tray that pushes the total paper capacity to 4200 pages.
The installation of this device was slightly quirky. For instance, you have to give this device two IP addresses: one for the scanner and one for the printer. It obviously comes with two NICs, so you have to plug two network cables to the back of the device.
We also ran into a problem with the print drivers. We were not able to print more than one copy of the same document. We eventually used a Windows XP PC as we didn't have time to work out why it wasn't working from a Windows 2000 PC.
There are plenty of options you can buy for this device, starting with an internal finisher, saddle and hole punch finisher, and a position finisher.
The KM-3035 was very fast at printing in monochrome. We were most impressed in how fast its first page came out. Copy speed was also amazing with copies coming out in less than four seconds. In the quality department the KM-3035 was on par with the HP in most tests. It was slightly better at printing photos.
