KM-1500
The KM-1500 comes from Kyocera's KM multifunction era, a compact digital copier-printer that also scans — the all-in-one before all-in-ones were commonplace in small offices. It takes the TK-100 toner cartridge, a staple of that generation with wide availability from multiple suppliers. Small offices still running one will find supplies straightforward, affordable, and easy to source for years to come.
