When your organization depends on high-speed, high-volume black and white production, consistency and uptime matter. The Kyocera MZ10500i is built to deliver exactly that. As part of Kyocera’s A3 Nova Series, this powerful multifunction printer is designed for demanding print and scan environments that require speed, reliability, security, and cost control.
If you are evaluating production-level A3 multifunction printers, this model stands out for its 105 ppm output, AI-powered straight-path scanning, industry-first dual toner system, and advanced security framework.
Built for High-Volume Black and White Printing
The MZ10500i delivers up to 105 pages per minute in black and white, making it ideal for centralized print rooms, corporate departments, education, healthcare, and production environments.
It supports a wide range of paper sizes and media types, including:
- Paper sizes from 5.5” x 8.5” up to 13” x 19.2”
- Banner printing up to 13” x 48”
- Media weights from 14 lb. Bond to 170 lb. Index (52 – 300 gsm)
With a standard paper capacity of 4,350 sheets, expandable up to 7,550 sheets, this device is engineered for long runs with fewer interruptions.
For organizations that produce large batches of reports, manuals, forms, or booklets, the MZ10500i delivers the stability and speed required to keep production moving smoothly.
Industry-First Dual Toner Container System
One of the most notable innovations in the Nova Series is the dual toner container system, designed to reduce downtime during high-volume print jobs.
This system allows toner to be replaced while the device continues printing, helping to minimize workflow disruptions. Combined with high-capacity toner options, it supports extended runs without constant monitoring.
For busy departments and print centers, this translates into:
- Fewer job interruptions
- Greater productivity
- Reduced operational stress during peak workloads
AI-Enabled Straight-Path Scanning at Up to 300 ipm
The MZ10500i is not just a fast printer. It is also a powerful digitization tool.
The standard 500-sheet dual scan document processor supports AI-enabled straight-path scanning at speeds of up to 300 images per minute (duplex). The straight-path design helps accommodate thicker media and IDs, while intelligent correction features improve scan accuracy.
The AI-powered scanning system can process up to 5,000 pages per file while automatically detecting errors during the process.
This makes the MZ10500i especially effective for:
- High-volume document archiving
- Compliance scanning
- Records digitization
- Workflow automation initiatives
Professional Output with Reliable Print Quality
The MZ10500i supports up to 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution, delivering sharp, clear black and white output.
The Nova Series platform incorporates built-in ICC profiles (in other models that use color), automatic calibration technology, and advanced toner formulation to maintain consistent output across long print runs.
Condition-based calibration technology helps reduce reprints by maintaining stable output over time. For organizations where document clarity matters, this consistency protects both productivity and professional presentation.
Compact Finishing That Saves Space
Production devices often require significant floor space. The Nova Series addresses this with finishing options that take up to 36 percent less floor space compared to predecessor models.
Available finishing capabilities include:
- 4,000-sheet finishers (65-sheet or 100-sheet staple)
- Booklet unit
- Z-fold unit
- Inserter unit
- 7-bin mailbox
This flexibility allows organizations to configure the MZ10500i for professional finishing without overloading the print room footprint.
Advanced Security for Sensitive Environments
Security is a critical requirement for modern business printing. The MZ10500i includes a comprehensive set of protection features.
- FIPS 140-3 encryption
- ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) compliance
- IEEE 2600 certification
- TLS 1.3 secure communication
- IP filtering and secure print release
- Trusted Platform Module and HDD overwrite
Proactive detection of sensitive watermarks, stamps, and confidential text helps prevent unauthorized copying or scanning.
For healthcare, government, finance, and enterprise environments, this level of security helps protect sensitive information from capture to output.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
The MZ10500i is Energy Star Certified and designed for efficient operation.
Typical electricity consumption for the MZ10500i is approximately 1.95 kWh per week at 120V and 2.02 kWh per week at 220–240V.
The platform also includes tools to monitor CO₂ emissions and energy usage in real time, supporting sustainability goals while helping control operational costs.
