Kyocera Mita has refreshed its entry-level A4 monochrome line with the launch of the FS-1035MFP/DP and FS-1135MFP, which replace the FS-1028MFP/DP and FS-1128MFP. The new FS-1035MFP/DP is a print, copy and scan device, and the FS-1135MFP is a four-function machine that adds fax capabilities. Like the FS-1028MFP/DP and FS-1128MFP, the FS-1035MFP/DP and FS-1135MFP are relatively bare-bones devices that are aimed at small to medium-size workgroups.
