Copystar CS-1500 desktop copier

Expert Rating: 2 (what's this?)

Copystar CS-1500 desktop copier

Date Published: 3/31/08

The Copystar CS-1500 is a workhorse among units in the desktop copier market, allowing up to 15,000 printed pages per month. Even the busiest SOHO environments will have a hard time pushing the CS-1500 to its limits.

This desktop copier offers a sharp maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi, which is standard for a laser copier. Because of its laser print capabilities, the CS-1500 only copies in black. The CS-1500 can run at copying speeds up to 15 ppm, and it offers a reduction/enlargement capability of 50 to 200 percent of the original.

The CS-1500 features a 250-sheet paper tray and a second, 50-sheet tray for specialty jobs, making it one of the more versatile desktop copiers around. The CS-1500 also has a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that can handle documents up to legal size. The CS-1500 can also run from its flatbed glass copying surface, making it work well for a variety of desktop copying jobs.
