PRODUCT LAUNCH KYOCERA ECOSYS MA4000WIFX SERIES

ECOSYS PA4000wx

Security Security is a key consideration for all

businesses, and to this end the MA4000wifx Series has K-Level security on board to keep sensitive data safe from unauthorised access and an option to add a Trusted Platform Module (UG-50) for an extra layer of protection. Plus, with support for Kyocera's mobile printing solutions, the devices make it easy to print from smartphones and tablets, helping teams

stay productive wherever they are. “This is Kyocera’s highest level of

“With the introduction of the MA4000wifx Series, Kyocera has worked hard to help businesses fulfil their ESG targets. We have increased the recycled plastic content of the devices by 5%, more than 99% of the plastics they are made from can be recycled, 100% for the toner cartridge. We have reduced ‘Sleep Mode’ power consumption to an industry low 0.3 Watts (0.4 Watts on MFPs) reducing the typical electricity consumption values by as much as 23% compared to the products they replace. “Environmental impact is further reduced with Kyocera’s award-winning pulp material packaging.” Peter adds that the new devices incorporate Kyocera’s long-life technology to keep user interventions, running costs and environmental impact to the minimum. “Machine life is 200,000 pages or five years, whichever comes first,” he says. “Each device is supplied with 3,600 pages of toner free in the box and an image drum designed to last 100,000 pages. Replacement toner is an impressive 10,000 pages, priced to keep running costs very low as the less you replace, the lower your environmental impact.” Keeping costs low Keeping running costs low has also been a focus for Kyocera with these new devices. “A low total cost of ownership (TCO) is very important to all our customers and a core value of Kyocera’s product design philosophy,” says Peter. “This is achieved using Kyocera’s industry leading, long-life technology. The standard replacement toner on the MA4000wifx Series is 10,000 pages and tends to be priced close to the standard replacement toner pricing of the competitors’

security which offers customers optimal data protection out of the box,” says Peter. “Printers and MFPs can act as entry point to a customer’s network, we call these endpoints and older devices, or those with not such robust security, may be more vulnerable – in effect leaving an open door for hackers to access business sensitive data.” Sustainability Sustainability is also an increasingly important consideration, not just for public sector, blue light and corporate customers but also small business and home user customers. “They have always seen the benefits of Kyocera’s long-life technology in the low running costs and reduced environmental impact our devices have,” says Peter. “However, they are now looking deeper, they want to know what the environmental impact was of producing a device, what resources were used, how much energy was used in production and how much energy will continue to be used throughout its life. All items with environmental impact that can help them to demonstrate their commitment to responsible practices and have a positive impact on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. “For example, Kyocera Document Solutions UK is a Carbon Neutral company. Buyers can be confident that the MA4000wifx Series is launched Carbon Neutral, as we have done with all product launches since January 2023. We partner with MyClimate to offset the carbon emissions from the production and transportation of each device together with the consumables they use over their standard rated lifetime of five years.
