40ppm Colour & Mono | Print Only | Gigabit Ethernet | Auto Duplex | AirPrint | Mopria | 1200 x 1200 dpi
The Kyocera ECOSYS PA4000CX is a high-speed A4 colour laser printer built for workgroups with demanding daily print volumes. Rated at 40 pages per minute in both colour and mono at 1200 x 1200 dpi, it delivers consistent throughput regardless of print mode — eliminating the speed reduction that affects most colour laser printers when switching between mono and colour output. The PA4000CX ships with automatic duplex and a 650-sheet standard paper input (100-sheet multipurpose tray plus 550-sheet cassette), expandable up to 2,300 sheets with optional feeders. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet standard, with optional Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, plus AirPrint, Mopria, and Kyocera Mobile Print for device flexibility. Security features include TLS 1.3, IPsec, SNMPv3, encrypted PDF, and Private Print with PIN release. Built on Kyocera's ECOSYS long-life component platform, the PA4000CX is engineered to keep total cost of ownership and service frequency low across sustained workgroup use.

Kyocera PA4000CX vs PA3500CX: Which Model Is Right for Your Business?
The PA4000CX and PA3500CX are both A4 colour laser print-only devices from Kyocera's ECOSYS range, sharing the same ECOSYS platform, duplex printing, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and mobile printing support. The difference is speed, paper capacity, toner yield, and the toner series each printer uses.

Who Is the Kyocera ECOSYS PA4000CX Best Suited For?
The PA4000CX suits workgroups with consistent, higher-volume colour print requirements — particularly where toner cost-per-page and output speed are priorities alongside network security.
Small to Medium Business
SMEs printing at sustained volumes throughout the day benefit from the PA4000CX's equal 40 ppm colour and mono speed, keeping output predictable regardless of the job mix. The 650-sheet standard input and 500-sheet output tray reduce the frequency of tray management in a busy shared print environment.
Legal Offices
Legal practices producing colour-coded briefs, exhibit covers, and client-facing documents benefit from the PA4000CX's print quality and Private Print with PIN release — ensuring sensitive documents are held at the device until collected by the intended recipient. TLS 1.3 and IPsec support secure network printing across the office.
Accounting & Financial Services
Accounting firms and financial planners printing colour reports, client statements, and compliance documentation at volume will find the TK-5384K's 13,000-page Black yield keeps per-page costs low on text-heavy jobs. Colour cartridges at 10,000 pages each support regular presentation-quality output without frequent replacements.
Real Estate
Real estate offices with high weekly print volumes of colour property brochures, contracts, and marketing materials benefit from the PA4000CX's throughput and expandable paper capacity. At 40 ppm in colour, it handles burst printing demands without slowing the office down.
Marketing & Creative Teams
In-house marketing teams proofing colour materials, printing client presentations, and producing branded documents will value the PA4000CX's 1200 x 1200 dpi output. The optional SSD storage supports job storage and reprint workflows without resending large files from workstations.
Government & Public Sector
Government departments printing at volume require the network security features the PA4000CX provides — TLS 1.3, SNMPv3, IPsec, and data overwrite support secure, auditable print deployment across shared office environments. Optional card authentication adds an additional access control layer.
Education
Schools and universities operating centralised print facilities benefit from the PA4000CX's speed, expandable paper capacity, and AirPrint/Mopria support for device-agnostic printing by staff and students. The long-life ECOSYS components reduce the service frequency burden on IT staff managing shared devices.
Technology & IT Businesses
IT firms producing technical documentation, proposals, and client reports benefit from the PA4000CX's full security stack and Gigabit Ethernet performance. Chrome OS support and cloud-compatible printing protocols integrate cleanly with modern, device-diverse office environments.
Why Choose the Kyocera ECOSYS PA4000CX?
The PA4000CX prints at 40 ppm in colour and mono — the same speed in both modes. For workgroups printing a mix of colour and mono jobs throughout the day, this eliminates the throughput drop that affects most colour laser printers when switching modes. At 40 ppm on a shared network printer handling multiple users, the difference in output speed between this model and a slower 30–35 ppm alternative becomes significant across a full working week.
The TK-5384 toner series delivers Black at 13,000 pages and each colour at 10,000 pages — yields that keep cartridge change frequency and consumable spend low for workgroups printing at the recommended 20,000-page monthly volume. At that volume, a Black cartridge lasts approximately three weeks and each colour runs close to two weeks. That cadence keeps purchasing straightforward and avoids the disruption of frequent cartridge changes in a busy shared environment. The ECOSYS platform's long-life drum and developer units further reduce service intervals compared with conventional laser printer designs.
Security is a genuine strength of the PA4000CX rather than an afterthought — TLS 1.3, IPsec, SNMPv3, S/MIME, and Private Print with PIN release cover the requirements of most business and government network printing environments. Optional card authentication adds physical access control at the device panel. For TK-5384 toner in stock and ready for fast delivery across Australia, browse the full range of toner cartridges at CartridgesDirect and keep your PA4000CX running without interruption.
