Kyocera Mita America's High Volume MFP Achieves Buyer's Lab Certification In Two-Million Page Durability Test

Fairfield, NJ - Kyocera Mita America, Inc., one of the leading document solutions companies, is proud to announce that its KM-8030 segment-five multifunctional product (MFP) was awarded a Buyer's Laboratory, Inc. (BLI) certification for its impressive results in an Extended-Term Reliability Test administered by BLI, a leading source for unbiased and reliable intelligence for the imaging industry. During the evaluation, the Kyocera KM-8030 completed an astounding 2,000,000 impressions; validating Kyocera's ability to offer products that have outstanding reliability and exceptional performance for the most demanding business environments.

Kyocera achieved its BLI evaluation results over a 100 day testing period, with no additional service required other than its scheduled preventive maintenance intervals every 500,000-impressions. In addition, only 12 misfeeds occurred during the two million pages, for a rate of one misfeed every 166,666 pages. During the test, various print and copy jobs were run on the KM-8030, simulating the rigorous tasks of a busy workgroup or department. The MFP produced impressive results when tested for processing short and long runs for both one-sided and two-sided output, with various paper sizes used throughout the evaluation.
