FS-C5100
Kyocera's FS-C5100 brought color laser printing to the desktop in a compact, USB-connected package aimed at individual users and very small teams. It runs the Kyocera TK-540 color toner set — black, cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges working together for vivid presentations and sharp everyday documents. An affordable entry point into Kyocera color for the office that prints color occasionally rather than constantly.
