Secondhand Kyocera TASKalfa 4052ci on the Gold Coast

What you are getting

Of the speeds in Kyocera's TASKalfa 2552ci series, the TASKalfa 4052ci is the one that does 40 pages a minute. Kyocera built the same family at other speeds too: TASKalfa 2552ci (25), TASKalfa 3252ci (32), TASKalfa 5052ci (50) and TASKalfa 6052ci (60), in pages a minute. According to Kyocera, it needs the optional single pass document feeder to scan at its top speed of 100 images a minute, has room for 1,150 sheets (or 7,150 with extra paper options) and copes with card stock to 300 gsm. In Kyocera's range it has given way to the TASKalfa 4053ci.

The right size of business

Its natural home: a workplace where fifteen to thirty people share one machine. For more people on the one machine, look at the TASKalfa 5052ci, the next step up at 50 pages a minute. For a quieter office, the TASKalfa 3252ci runs at 32.

Picking a grade, then a way to pay

Secondhand, the TASKalfa 4052ci comes in whichever grade suits your budget: renewed, refurbished or used. We check each one and give you its page count in writing. Rental or finance terms stretch to 60 months where the machine's age allows, and buying outright is always an option. The price covers delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team.

Bought outright without a service agreement, its warranty depends on the machine, and we tell you in writing what it is before the sale. With a service agreement, it is replaced if it fails, for the whole term. The lowest weekly rental, from $15 a week plus GST, is for selected machines, subject to approval.

Questions worth asking first

• The page count. Ask for it in writing; we give it before you sign. Pages printed tell you more about wear than the year a machine was made.
• The options on it. Find out what is attached, such as a stapling finisher, more paper drawers or a high capacity feeder. Each one changes the jobs it suits and the figure you pay.
• Who looks after it. A machine nobody can repair is no bargain, however little it costs. We only sell what we can service ourselves, everywhere we deliver.
• The running cost. Have the black and white and colour page rates put in writing, along with what each rate includes.
