ECOSYS Printers / MFPs

“Only Toner” Design

Our Proprietary Toner

Based on long-life technology cultivated by Kyocera Document Solutions over
the years, we provide document solutions that are both ecological andeconomical. ECOSYS Printers were first launched in 1992, and in 1997, became
the first page printer in the world to be awarded Germany’s prestigious BlueAngel certification for environmentally friendly products. They continue toevolve today even after more than 25 years.

ECOSYS products incorporate an “Only Toner”
Design. When refilling toners, it is possible toreplace only the toner container without having
to change other parts, such as the developerunit.
This results in a reduced running cost comparedto general products, which require additional
replacement of surrounding parts when refillingtoner. This feature contributes to environmental
conservation by minimizing the amount of wastematerial produced.

By achieving a fuser temperature 30°C lower than conventional products, the total energy consumption is reduced byhalf. In addition, no organic solvent is used in the production
process, and the amount of water used is extremely low, thus
helping to conserve the environment. A uniform toner layer isformed to achieve clear and smooth image representation.

As of March 2024

Kyocera started as a small, suburban factory, with no money, credentials or reputation. We had nothing to relyon but a little technology and 28 trustworthy colleagues.
Nonetheless, the company experienced rapid growth because everyone exerted their maximum efforts andmanagers devoted their lives to earning the trust of employees. We wanted to be an excellent company where
all employees could believe in each other, abandon selfish motives, and be truly proud to work. This desire
became the foundation of Kyocera’s management.
Human minds are said to be easily changeable. Yet, there is nothing stronger than the human mind. Kyocera
developed into what it is today because it is based on the bonds of human minds.
