When you finally get a customer to purchase a new copier, you now have to hope they do not buy a Taskalfa color. I would rather keep a falcon 2 with 1 million copies than sell them something that we constantly have to go and and due firmware
on or try to explain the error codes we do not have any information on. Thanks for letting me rant and rave but I hate Taskalfa color.

Ya, I'm starting to strongly dislike them also. We have about a 50 percent split, halve of them run fine and the other halve suck. I was just to one today that they couldn't print to it from MS Publisher, MS Word and other Office Apps are fine. Publisher would display an error message about "Publisher cannot complete this operation" when you sent the print job. The driver was set up with PCL 5c as the PDL due to the fact that the KPDL language won't process Word Art properly. I switch it to the PDF language and got it to work fine, now the document that they were trying to print out was a Post Card layout with 4up on a sheet of paper. Not sure if it is just the 4up layout that is causing the problem or not. Since the PDF language fixed it, well that's the solution for now.

It doesn't help that Kyocera published a spec that the color TaskAlfa's could print 110lb Index, but in reality none of them could do more than one print at a time on the heavy stock without having a primary transfer cleaning problem. This is still unresolved.

All in all, they continue to incrementally get better, but are completely behind the competition in terms of reliability and handling heavy stock paper.
