27ppm Colour & Mono | Print | Copy | Scan | Fax | Auto Duplex | ADF | Gigabit Ethernet | Touchscreen
The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CFX is an A4 colour laser multifunction printer built for small offices, small workgroups, and cabled network environments that need print, copy, scan, and fax from a single compact device. Printing in both colour and mono at up to 27 pages per minute, it handles daily office workflows from one networked unit - with automatic duplex printing standard, an automatic document feeder with duplex scan for efficient batch scanning and copying, and full Super G3 fax capability included.

Built on Kyocera's ECOSYS long-life component platform, the MA2101CFX keeps total cost of ownership predictable across its working life.

Compatible Toner Cartridges - TK-5484 & TK-5494 Series
The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CFX supports two toner options in the same colour range - the TK-5484 standard yield series for lower up-front cost, and the TK-5494 high yield series for lower cost per page. Both series are available in Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, and both are stocked at CartridgesDirect.
Standard Yield Toner Cartridges - TK-5484 Series
The TK-5484 standard yield series suits small offices printing at low monthly volumes - where lower up-front cost per cartridge matters more than long-term cost per page.
| Colour | Part Number | Page Yield | Buy at CartridgesDirect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | TK-5484K | 1,250 pages | Kyocera TK-5484 Black Toner |
| Cyan | TK-5484C | 1,250 pages | Kyocera TK-5484 Cyan Toner |
| Magenta | TK-5484M | 1,250 pages | Kyocera TK-5484 Magenta Toner |
| Yellow | TK-5484Y | 1,250 pages | Kyocera TK-5484 Yellow Toner |
High Yield Toner Cartridges - TK-5494 Series - BEST VALUE
The TK-5494 high yield series delivers more than double the black page yield and almost double the colour yields versus TK-5484, giving the lowest cost per page for offices running at moderate to regular monthly print volumes. The same TK-5494 cartridges are also used by the MA2101CWFX, PA2101CX, and PA2101CWX.
| Colour | Part Number | Page Yield | Buy at CartridgesDirect |

Compatibility warning: The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CFX uses the TK-5484 and TK-5494 toner series only. Do not confuse with TK-5374, TK-5384, TK-5440, or TK-5442 - these are designed for different Kyocera models and are not interchangeable with the MA2101CFX. Always verify toner model compatibility at time of purchase.
Kyocera MA2101CFX vs MA2101CWFX: Which Model Is Right for Your Business?
The MA2101CFX and MA2101CWFX are sister models in the same Kyocera A4 colour MFP line - both 4-in-1 print, copy, scan, and fax devices running at 27 ppm colour and mono, both with standard duplex print and a duplex-capable ADF, both using the same TK-5484 and TK-5494 toner series. The single difference between the two is wireless connectivity. The MA2101CFX is wired-only - Gigabit Ethernet and USB - which suits offices with a dedicated network point at the device location. The MA2101CWFX adds built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct for wireless placement and mobile printing over Wi-Fi. For offices that don't need Wi-Fi and want the lower entry cost, the MA2101CFX is the correct choice.

The Verdict
If your device will sit beside a wired network point and there's no requirement for Wi-Fi printing from phones, tablets, or laptops, the MA2101CFX is the model to choose - it delivers the same 27 ppm 4-in-1 performance as its Wi-Fi sibling at a lower entry cost. If you need placement flexibility or mobile printing over Wi-Fi, the MA2101CWFX adds built-in wireless on the same hardware platform. Both models use the same TK-5484 and TK-5494 toner cartridges, available from CartridgesDirect with fast delivery across Australia.
Who Is the Kyocera MA2101CFX Best Suited For?
The MA2101CFX is suited to small offices and small workgroups with a wired network already in place that need a compact A4 colour multifunction with fax included. Its 27 ppm speed, standard duplex, and 4-in-1 functionality make it a practical primary device for teams of one to ten people in industries where fax remains part of routine document workflows.
Small to Medium Business
SMEs of up to ten staff with a wired network and a dedicated network point at the device location will find the MA2101CFX's 27 ppm throughput and standard duplex appropriate for daily proposals, invoices, and client correspondence. The 4-in-1 design consolidates print, scan, copy, and fax into one device, reducing per-device service and consumable management overhead.
Medical & Allied Health
Clinics, GP rooms, and allied health practices still rely on fax for referrals, pathology results, and insurer correspondence. The MA2101CFX covers this requirement alongside colour printing for patient handouts and care plans, and the duplex ADF speeds up scanning of multi-page intake and consent forms.
Legal Offices
Sole-practitioner and small-firm legal offices that still send fax to courts, government agencies, and other practitioners will find the MA2101CFX's Super G3 fax with network fax support directly applicable. Colour print quality and the duplex ADF cover daily brief and document workflows in the same device - on a wired connection that suits IT policies requiring cabled network endpoints.
Accounting & Financial Services
Small accounting practices and financial advisers printing colour reports, client statements, and tax documentation benefit from the MA2101CFX's combination of colour output, fax for ATO and institutional correspondence, and standard duplex for paper-efficient client packs. Gigabit Ethernet provides a stable wired connection for document-heavy workflows.
Real Estate
Single-branch real estate agencies that handle contract exchanges, section 32 documents, and vendor correspondence benefit from a single device that prints colour property flyers and listing sheets, scans signed documents via the ADF, and sends and receives fax where required by the transaction process.
Government & Public Sector
Small government offices and public sector workgroups with IT policies requiring wired network endpoints will find the MA2101CFX a suitable colour MFP choice. Super G3 fax with network fax support covers official communication protocols, and the encrypted PDF, SSL/TLS, and IPsec security features align with standard public sector network requirements.
Education
Small schools, tutoring centres, and registered training organisations producing colour worksheets, student handouts, and administrative documents in low-to-moderate volume will find the MA2101CFX's 27 ppm speed and duplex printing well-suited to staff-room placement - particularly in buildings where the device sits beside a structured cabling point.
Retail & Hospitality
Small retail outlets, cafes, and hospitality venues with a back-office wired network that print colour menus, signage drafts, supplier orders, and staff rosters benefit from the MA2101CFX's compact A4 footprint. The ADF handles batch scanning of supplier invoices and delivery dockets without staff manually feeding pages.
Why Choose the Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CFX?
The MA2101CFX prints at 27 pages per minute in both colour and mono, consolidating print, copy, scan, and fax into one compact A4 device. Standard duplex printing, a duplex-capable automatic document feeder, and reliable Gigabit Ethernet make it a practical primary MFP for small offices running on a cabled network. The touchscreen control panel keeps on-device navigation straightforward for non-technical users, and AirPrint over the wired network covers mobile print needs from Apple devices connected to the same network.
The MA2101CFX gives small offices flexible consumable economics through two toner options. The TK-5484 standard yield series offers lower up-front cost per cartridge at 1,250 pages each colour, suited to low monthly print volumes. The TK-5494 high yield series delivers 2,800 pages in Black and 2,400 pages in each colour for lower cost per page at moderate volumes. The same cartridges are used by the MA2101CWFX, PA2101CX, and PA2101CWX, keeping consumable purchasing simple for businesses running more than one device from this Kyocera family.
For offices that don't need Wi-Fi, the MA2101CFX delivers the same 4-in-1 colour capability as the Wi-Fi MA2101CWFX at a lower entry cost. Built on Kyocera's ECOSYS platform, the long-life drum and developer components are designed to reduce service frequency and keep total cost of ownership predictable across the device's working life.
