TASKalfa MZ9500ci and MZ10500i series.

---

KYOCERA Document Solutions South Africa has announced the local launch of seven new high-speed A3 multifunction printers (MFPs), giving South African and SADC organisations more choice when it comes to fast, reliable and secure document handling.

The new TASKalfa MZ9500ci colour series and TASKalfa MZ10500i monochrome series are designed for medium to large workgroups that manage high print and scan volumes. The focus is practical: help teams keep work moving, maintain consistent output quality and digitise information more efficiently.

For local organisations, workplace technology has to do more than look good on a specification sheet. Businesses are balancing tighter budgets, distributed teams and growing expectations around information security and POPIA-conscious processes. That makes reliability, ease of use and long-term value increasingly important.

The new TASKalfa ranges are built around five everyday priorities:

• Less downtime: Kyocera’s dual toner system allows toner containers to be replaced while printing continues, helping businesses keep critical print jobs running without stopping the machine. Combined with optimised maintainability, this helps increase uptime and reduce the time service representatives need to spend at the device.
• Faster, smoother workflows: A high-capacity 500-sheet document processor and scan speeds of up to 300ipm, helping teams capture, process and share large volumes of documents quickly and efficiently.
• Intelligent automation: Built-in cloud-based business software digitises documents, captures key information and automates routine processes, helping organisations save time, reduce costs and focus on higher-value work.
• Consistent output: Kyocera's latest toner and advanced image processing technology, combined with the innovative water-cooling system in the TASKalfa MZ9500ci and MZ10500i series, work together to maintain stable operating temperatures, supporting sharp, consistent image quality and reliable results across demanding print runs.
• Stronger security: Security functions carried forward from previous models are reinforced with AI-driven features designed to help protect against evolving threats.
• More flexibility: Three colour and four monochrome models give organisations greater choice based on their volume, output and workflow requirements.

"South African businesses want technology that simply gets on with the job. These new devices are designed to help teams work faster, protect their information and spend less time dealing with interruptions," says Greg Griffith, Product Marketing Manager at KYOCERA Document Solutions South Africa.

"By combining strong image quality with productivity, workflow and security features, the ranges give customers more flexibility as their document needs grow."

The launch brings together three colour and four monochrome cloud-ready MFPs, extending Kyocera's high-speed A3 portfolio for organisations that need reliable performance at scale.

For South African businesses managing sensitive information, document security increasingly forms part of everyday operations. The new ranges build on security functions from previous models and add AI-driven features designed to respond to evolving threats.

Built-in security features such as user authentication, secure print release and audit tracking help organisations maintain greater control over documents and support POPIA-conscious business practices.

The TASKalfa MZ9500ci and TASKalfa 10500i series brings together intelligent automation, reliable high-speed performance and consistent image quality, helping organisations simplify document processes while keeping productivity high.

The TASKalfa MZ9500ci and TASKalfa MZ10500i series are supported through Kyocera's Managed Print Services offering and its accredited partner network across South Africa and the SADC region. Customers therefore have access not only to the devices, but also to local product expertise, service support and ongoing fleet management.
