Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 Color Laser printer 17 ppm # KXCL500 / K-X-C-L-500 / K-X-C-L500 / K-XCL500 / KX-CL500 / KXC-L500 / KXCL-500 / KX-CL-500 Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 color laser The Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 color laser printer is an interesting new single pass laser printer. The Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 is not cheap but if your looking for high color print speed and quality then look no further. Panasonic has been producing laser printers for some time now and the WORKiO KX-CL500 color laser represents their latest model. under other single pass color lasers. The Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 color laser printer offers true 1200 by 1200 dpi printer at up to 17 ppm. This is very fast for a color laser printing and is one of the fastest on the market. You also get a reasonable 64 mb of memory that can be expanded up to 512mb. The Panasonic CL500 color laser can replace your current monochrome laser Panasonic want to position this printer as a replacement for monochrome workgroup printers and have put a lot of effort into this printers monochrome performance. What you get is 21 pages per minute and around 1.5 cents per page for monochrome jobs. This compares very well with current monochrome offerings. Black toner cartridges for all CL500 / CL510 Series are rated at 5,000 pages . the color cartridges are also rated at 5,000 pages. Panasonic advertise this printer as having a low total cost of ownership. This is pleasing when also consider the reasonable $1500 price tag.  The Panasonic KX-CL500 with optional input paper draws As for service, the KX-CL500 Series is designed for easy maintenance, with top-loading, spill-proof, slide-in toner cartridges. All supplies - including the fuser and transfer roller - are user-replaceable. The printers come standard with an array of software tools: network setup, remote maintenance, web administration, embedded web server, e-mail notification and status display. Reliable jam recovery capabilities add to the impressive design and ease of use. In their quest to make a color laser printer that can replace a monochrome Panasonic have given you a massive input paper capacity. You can expand the input paper capacity to 1690 sheets with two optional draws pictured below. Auto duplex can be installed inside the front of the unit in a snap, doesn't take up any additional space. Documents can be produced for either side- or top-edge binding, at 17 images per minute (ipm) color and 21 ipm monochrome. The auto duplexing unit is an option on the CL500 but comes standard on the CL510. Here are the specifications: - black: up to 21 ppm
- color: up to 17 ppm
- Total Media Capacity 530 sheets expandable to 1690
- 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi for both black and color
- Single pass color technology for high speed printing
It is hard not to recommend the Panasonic WORKiO KX-CL500 color laser printer. If your in the market for a sub $2000 color laser then this printer makes the most sense to me. Panasonic should be applauded for their efforts to make this printer appeal to current monochrome users. Panasonic's KX-CL500 makes workgroup color printing as affordable as using an ordinary laser model. WHAT'S HOT: The KX-CL500 prints solid text. Panasonic provides a concise, accurate printed setup guide and three in-depth on-screen manuals, plus a color card to use as a reference for adjusting toner density. The device's control panel menus, though not strictly hierarchical, are easy to operate, with ever-attentive prompts. We also like the printer's small footprint, 17 inches wide by 21 inches deep, and its manageable 66-pound weight. (However, the small size means the imaging components are packed in tight, so replacing some consumables and clearing paper jams in certain places is challenging.) Thanks to Panasonic's patented induction heating technology, the KX-CL500 was ready to print 10 seconds after we flicked on the power from a cold start. WHAT'S NOT: The KX-CL500's print quality on graphics didn't match its fine text quality. It rendered the narrow parallel lines in one of our test documents by mixing color into the black, but the color was so out of register in our test prints that the whole thing was a mess. Gray-scale photos had a denimlike texture of narrow regular stripes that obliterated detail, and color prints looked dotty and somewhat washed out. Panasonic came up with a funky design that builds the auxiliary tray into the main tray. We found the auxiliary piece awkward to open and adjust; it also seemed flimsy and prone to break, and interfered with access to the main paper tray. WHAT ELSE: For such a low price ($1599), we can live with the slightly below-average 13.4-ppm text-printing speed we saw in our tests. You can equip the printer with one or two optional 530-page paper feeders for $500 each, or a duplexer for $300. The KX-CL500 doesn't have an alternative straight paper path, so running labels through might be risky, especially if they're starting to dry out. The power switch is on the back, but we had no trouble reaching it because the printer is so small. UPSHOT: Small workgroups will be able to rely on the KX-CL500 for both color and monochrome printing. Eliminating The Barriers To Network Color Printing - Ultimate Printers For Small And Medium Sized Business. Specifically designed and engineered to eliminate the obstacles that have kept small and mid-sized businesses from investing in a color laser printer, the Panasonic CL500 printer provides optimum performance for all your color and Black and White applications, plus quality, speed, versatility, ease of use and extensive network solutions all in a compact, affordable, low-maintenance design. Panasonic's NEW one-pass technology is optimized to deliver high quality color printing 4 times faster than conventional color printers up to 17*1/16 ppm (Letter/A4) in color and 21 / 20 ppm (Letter/A4) in Black and White. Print resolution is up to a true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. Brilliant color printouts, faster than ever before: The Color Laser Printer KX-CL500 from Panasonic brings more speed to the office thanks to the innovative One Pass Tandem Technology with up to 16 DIN A4 pages per minute in colour and 20 pages in black and white. Additionally, a new induction heat procedure reduces the warm-up time to only 45 seconds after switching on, 15 seconds later the first print out is made. Therefore, KX-CL500 is excellently suited for offices where a high number of printouts are required. A resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, 1200 x 600 dpi or 1,200 x 1,200 dpi ensures convincing print quality. With their compact size, the devices even fit in small offices. The One Pass Tandem Technology has a decisive advantage: The paper had to pass by the printing unit four times successively to be printed with a different colour each time, now four printing units print on the paper in one step in the new Panasonic Colour Laser printers. Therefore, printing jobs are done four times as fast as with traditional colour printers. Additionally, the 360 MHz Power PC 754 Processor guarantees the fastest working processes. Optionally, a 10 gigabyte hard disc can be integrated. The paper capacity of the printer amounts to 530 sheets with the standard tray plus 100 sheets in multi-purpose feed. If especially large-scale printing jobs need to be carried out the printers can be equipped with two additional paper trays with 530 sheets each. Besides traditional paper, the KX-CL500 can also print on foils, labels and envelopes. The/paper weight can amount up to 165g/m2. | Features: | | | - High yield, easy-to-replace consumables:

Documents from your Windows applications can be password-protected and then printed by entering the password at the front panel of the printer or HDD utility. - Automatic Duplex for efficient double-sided printing.
The printers are designed to accommodate an optional automatic duplex unit (KX-CLAD1) (standard on "D" configurations), enabling effortless double-sided printing. Cost effective and speedy, double-sided prints are output at an incredible 17/16 ppm (Letter/A4) for color and 21 / 20 ppm (Letter/A4) for Black and White. With Panasonic's advanced technology, the printer's speed remains the same even when printing two-sided documents. - Intelligent Printing.
Both models feature Universal Cassettes (UC), convenient tools for users whose network printers might not be nearby. UC allows automatic tray selection and switching. With auto tray selection, the printer chooses the correct paper tray based on the job it is printing. If a tray becomes empty, auto tray switching changes printing to a new tray containing the right-sized paper. Plus, Panasonic's unique, integrated internal design makes installing auto duplex a snap, and it won't take up any additional space | Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer Panasonic WORKiO K-X-C-L-500 K-X-CL500 KX-C-L500 KXC-L-500 K-XCL500 KX-CL500 KXC-L500 KXCL-500 Color Laser printer |
