KYOCERA believes that improving the usability of its products leads to improving operational efficiency for the customers that use its products. Aiming at producing genuine, easy-to-use products, the company incorporates universal design into various products in various ways.

Low-Noise Design in Office Environment

What should KYOCERA Document Solutions MFPs be like?

Developer's statement:
Following numerous discussions, every KYOCERA Document Solutions employee is constantly pursuing “what the customer wants most” as well as “quality that warrants customer satisfaction.” Reducing a product's operational noise even by a single decibel (dB) requires an incredibal amound of effort. In particular, in the case of multifunctionl product that are often used beside one's desk, the realizeation of a non -disruptive level of operation nooise was a major issue. In making these improvements, we were able to achieve levels five decibels (dB) quieter than when compared to prior machines.

Long-life KYOCERA printers

When using a printer it is usually necessary to replace a complex toner cartridge, containing the photoconductor drum and peripheral parts, every few thousand pages. Instead, KYOCERA has implemented a long-life design concept utilizing various ECOSYS technologies, including a-Si (amorphous silicon) drums, so that only the toner needs to be regularly replaced. As a result, as many as 300,000 pages can be printed with having to replace anything except toner, significantly reducing both waste and cost.
