Kyocera TASKalfa 358ci: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Kyocera TASKalfa 358ci right for you?

The TASKalfa 358ci is an A4 colour MFP with copier-grade construction, a dual-scan document feeder and HyPAS apps, sold through dealers to offices that want copier service without A3 paper. It is quicker to scan than the ECOSYS models and supports finishing options. Consumables follow the TASKalfa contract model, so check whether toner is included in your service agreement.

Best for: Offices wanting a copier-class A4 colour MFP on a service contract

Setting up the Kyocera TASKalfa 358ci

Dealer-commissioned; administrators configure scan destinations, authentication and accounting in Command Center RX. Install the KX Driver with the correct trays and finisher. Kyocera Mobile Print and AirPrint cover phones and tablets.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the toner cartridge and drum unit, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Kyocera's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Kyocera TASKalfa 358ci uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• TK-5345K black toner
• TK-5345C / TK-5345M / TK-5345Y color toner
• TK-5347 series in North America
• Waste toner box

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
