The FS-1030D comes well recommended with above average print speeds and quality. Its compact size means it's especially ideal for those with minimal office space.

Kyocera Mita FS-1030D

 

Kyocera once again proves that it knows how to make personal laser printers.

The FS-1030D is a well designed printer which demonstrates improvements in print speed and running costs over the FS-1020D. It's also a little smaller, which is no bad thing. Some of the covers and trays feel a little flimsy and it remains to be seen...

Kyocera Mita FS-1030D review

 

If you like computer peripherals that are easy to set up, Kyocera Mita's FS-1030D probably isn't for you.

This printer has no network port, but even when using a USB connection it still manages to be fiddly to install. If you want to print only text, though, and you can live with its frustrations, the FS-1030D's low running costs make it great value.

Great value for money, they are long lasting and efficient on use of toner.

Updating printer drivers can be difficult in a network environment.
