TOTAL PER-PAGE COSTS
1,000, and 1,500 sheets. The FS-C8026N-B has a 150-
sheet bypass tray and three 500-sheet paper trays. Despite
the fact that these machines have quite different paper
handling, they still have the same list price.
In addition, both machines have a variety of optional
output devices. There's a five-bin mailbox unit with room
for 150 sheets in each bin. There's a 3,000-sheet finisher
with multiposition stapling of up to 50 sheets. This print-
er family also features a saddle- stitched unit for making
booklets. You can supplement that with a punch unit,
which can support 2/3-hole punching. There's also a
folder available for the booklet maker.
Costs per page are extremely low, especially for color.
Our reckoning gives us a price of 5.2¢ for color, around
1.0¢ for black. These are outstanding, making these print-
ers very competitive in the market.
On the other hand, these are among the most expensive
color laser printers in this guide. That's partly because
Kyocera bundles so much in terms of paper handling
with them. If you subtract the value of these options, you
get prices closer to those of other high-end color lasers.
The FS-C8026N models are somewhat slower than
some of their top competitors, including the Ricoh
CL7200 and CL7300 models and the OKI Printing
Solutions C9600/C9800 printers.
If you're certain you'll run lots of pages and wince at
the thought of paying 8¢ or more per page, these models
are an excellent buy. On the other hand, if you are spend-
ing this much money, you might want to look at some of
the fine multifunctional copiers documented in our Color

Lanier, a major office equipment distributor, was
N/A
acquired by Ricoh in early 2001. Ricoh had already
$ 0.001
acquired Savin and Gestetner, and Lanier was an obvious
N/A
target since it relabeled a number of different Ricoh
$ 0.000
machines under the Lanier name. So far, the company
$ 0.002
$ 0.0089
operates independently from the other Ricoh divisions,
0.89
but that may change.
Lanier mostly sells direct and concentrates on larger
buyers through its direct-sales force; however, it also has
some dealers. Lanier is a service-intensive supplier. Its
prices include delivery, installation, training, and initial
supplies.
Note that Lanier announced the names of its three
printers based on the Ricoh GelSprinter series. These
are the GX3000, the GX3050N, and the GX5050N.
These correspond to the similarly named Ricoh products
on page 39.
