Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CWFX Colour Multifunction Printer
27ppm Colour & Mono | Print | Copy | Scan | Fax | Auto Duplex | ADF | Wi-Fi | Touchscreen
The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CWFX is an A4 colour laser multifunction printer built for small offices, home offices, and small workgroups that need print, copy, scan, and fax in a compact, wireless-ready device. Printing in both colour and mono at up to 27 pages per minute, it handles everyday office workflows from a single networked unit - with automatic duplex printing standard, an automatic document feeder for unattended scanning and copying, and full Super G3 fax capability included. Built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct add cable-free placement flexibility on top of standard Gigabit Ethernet and USB, and AirPrint and Mopria support cover mobile print needs straight out of the box. The MA2101CWFX is the direct replacement for the previous MA2100CWFX, refreshed on Kyocera's ECOSYS long-life component platform to keep total cost of ownership low across its working life.

Compatible Toner Cartridges - TK-5484 & TK-5494 Series
The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CWFX 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 and home 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 MA2101CFX, PA2101CX, and PA2101CWX.
| Colour | Part Number | Page Yield | Buy at CartridgesDirect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | TK-5494K | 2,800 pages | Kyocera TK-5494 Black Toner |
| Cyan | TK-5494C | 2,400 pages | Kyocera TK-5494 Cyan Toner |

Compatibility warning: The Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CWFX 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 MA2101CWFX. Always verify toner model compatibility at time of purchase.
Kyocera MA2101CWFX vs MA2101CFX: Which Model Is Right for Your Business?
The MA2101CWFX and MA2101CFX 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 MA2101CWFX (the "W" model) includes built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct standard, while the MA2101CFX is wired-only - Gigabit Ethernet and USB. For offices that need to place the device away from a network point, or that print regularly from phones, tablets, or laptops over Wi-Fi, the MA2101CWFX is the correct choice. For offices with a dedicated network point at the device location and no requirement to print over Wi-Fi, the MA2101CFX delivers identical print, copy, scan, and fax performance.

The Verdict
If your office needs Wi-Fi - for placement flexibility, mobile printing from phones and tablets, or simply to avoid running a new cable to the device - the MA2101CWFX is the model to choose. If the device will sit beside a wired network point and there is no requirement for Wi-Fi printing, the MA2101CFX delivers the same 27 ppm 4-in-1 capability for a slightly lower entry cost. Both models use the same TK-5484 and TK-5494 toner cartridges, available from CartridgesDirect with fast delivery across Australia.
Who Is the Kyocera MA2101CWFX Best Suited For?
The MA2101CWFX is suited to small offices, home offices, and small workgroups that need a compact A4 colour multifunction with fax included. Its 27 ppm speed, wireless connectivity, 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 & Home Office
Sole traders, consultants, and home-based businesses needing a single device that prints, copies, scans, and faxes - without the footprint of a larger office MFP - find the MA2101CWFX a clean fit. Built-in Wi-Fi removes the need to place the unit beside a desktop, and AirPrint and Mopria cover everyday mobile print needs from phones and tablets.
Small to Medium Business
SMEs of up to ten staff that need a primary colour MFP for daily proposals, invoices, and client correspondence will find the MA2101CWFX's 27 ppm throughput and standard duplex appropriate to the workload. 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 MA2101CWFX 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.
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.
Accounting & Financial Services
Small accounting practices and financial advisers printing colour reports, client statements, and tax documentation benefit from the MA2101CWFX's combination of colour output, fax for ATO and institutional correspondence, and standard duplex for paper-efficient client packs. Wi-Fi connectivity supports placement away from the desk.
Legal Offices
Sole-practitioner and small-firm legal offices that still send fax to courts, government agencies, and other practitioners will find the MA2101CWFX'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.
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 MA2101CWFX's 27 ppm speed and duplex printing well-suited to staff-room placement. Wi-Fi removes the need for cabled network points in older buildings.
Retail & Hospitality
Small retail outlets, cafes, and hospitality venues that print colour menus, signage drafts, supplier orders, and staff rosters benefit from the MA2101CWFX's compact A4 footprint and built-in Wi-Fi. The ADF handles batch scanning of supplier invoices and delivery dockets without staff manually feeding pages.
Why Choose the Kyocera ECOSYS MA2101CWFX?
The MA2101CWFX 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 built-in Wi-Fi make it a practical primary MFP for small offices that need flexible placement and a simple all-in-one workflow. AirPrint and Mopria mean staff can print directly from iPhones, iPads, and Android phones without installing additional software, and the touchscreen control panel keeps on-device navigation straightforward for non-technical users.
The MA2101CWFX 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 MA2101CFX, PA2101CX, and PA2101CWX, keeping consumable purchasing simple for businesses running more than one device from this Kyocera family.
As the direct replacement for the older MA2100CWFX, the MA2101CWFX is the current shipping model and the right choice for any new colour MFP purchase in this segment. 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.
