1.1.3
Software
e-MPS
‘e-MPS’ is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System,’ which is a
post-processing function that combines electronic sorting, job retention, and virtual
mailboxing.
When printing multiple copies of a document, the data is transferred from the computer to
the printer only for the first copy; the data is then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Copies of
the document are printed using the stored data.
Printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.
Furthermore, printed data that is stored on the hard disk can be called up using job retention
functions, such as Quick Copy etc., allowing you to quickly print additional copies of a
document from the printer at any time, without needing to re-spool the document or start up
the computer system.
Printer Control Language PRESCRIBE
The printer uses PRESCRIBE, Kyocera Mita’s page printer control language with enhanced
color graphics capabilities. The simple commands of PRESCRIBE allow the programmers
to easily define pagination and device control.
KPDL3 (Kyocera Printer Description Language 3)
The printer uses KPDL3, Kyocera’s implementation of the PostScript page description
language Level 3. The printer has 136 fonts that are compatible with Adobe PostScript
fonts. The printer also has 80 PCL fonts.

Chapter 2 Handling Paper
The printer can use a variety of media in various sizes. However, any media you will choose
to use with the printer must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in this
chapter. Use of paper not satisfying these guidelines and specifications may cause problems
such as frequent paper jams, poor quality printing, and possible damage to the printer
mechanism.
Even complying with the instructions provided in this chapter, special media such as
transparencies, labels, envelopes, non-standard-size paper must be fed directly from the
printer’s MP (multi-purpose) tray and delivered in the face-up tray in ‘straight path’ manner.
For details on use of MP tray, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.1 MP

2.1 General
2.1
General
Your Ecosys Color printer is designed for high-grade bond (copy) paper, like the type
widely used for ordinary xerographic copiers. It will also support other types of paper as
long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter.
Selecting the right paper is very important. Use of unsuitable paper can cause paper jams,
misfeed, curling, poor print quality, and even worse, printer damage. This chapter shows
you how to use your printer in a way that will ensure efficient, error-free printing and
minimal printer damage. This practice will increase your office productivity.
Kyocera Mita will not be liable for any problems that may occur if you use paper that
does not meet these standards.
Note
2.1.1
Available paper types
The FS-C8026N can use almost any type of printer paper. These printers accept paper used
for xerographic copiers as well.
Paper comes in three generic grades: economy, standard, and premium. The grades are
determined by how easily the paper can pass through the printer. This depends on the
smoothness, size, moisture content, and cutting of the paper. The higher the grade, the less
risk of problems (such as paper jams), and higher the print quality.
The differences in paper characteristics of different paper makers also affect the printer
performance. High-performance printers can produce high-quality results only when the
right types of paper are selected. Low-priced paper is not always economical, especially if it
ends up causing frequent printing problems.
Paper of the different grades is available in basis weights (explained later). The recommended
basis weights of paper for the printers are 16, 20, and 24 pounds. When expressed in grams
per square meter, the recommended basis weights range from 60 to 105 g/m².

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper
Thickness (Caliper)
2.2.2
Paper properties
Thick paper is called high-caliper paper and thin paper is
called low-caliper paper. Paper used by the printer should be
neither too thick nor too thin. If you encounter paper jam,
multiple-sheet feed, or too light printing problems, the paper
may be too thin. If you encounter paper jam or too heavy
printing problems, the paper may be too thick. The
Smoothness
Paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a
rough or sandy surface can cause gaps in printouts. However,
paper with surfaces that are too smooth may cause
multiple-sheet feeding and fogging problems (fogging is a
gray background effect).
recommended thickness of a sheet for this printer is between
0.086 and 0.110 mm (from 3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Basis weight
Moisture content
Basis weight is the weight in pounds of 500 sheets (called a
ream) of paper cut to the basic size, which is 17 × 22 inches.
The number of sheets in a ream and the basic paper size
relating to basis weights depend on paper classifications. In
the metric system, the basis weight is expressed in grams per
square meter (g/m²).
Moisture content is the percentage of the weight of water in
paper. Moisture affects the appearance, feeding, curling,
electrostatic properties, toner fusing of the paper.
The moisture content of paper varies with the relative
humidity in the room. If the room is too humid, paper will
absorb more moisture. The edges will swell and the paper
will become wavy. If the room is too dry and the paper loses
moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and the print contrast
may be degraded.
Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause misfeeds, jams,
and premature wear of printer parts. Uneven weight of paper can
cause multiple-sheet feeding, print defects, poor toner fusing,
blurring, and other print quality problems. The recommended
basis weights for this printer are between 60 and 105 g/m² (16 to
28 lb per ream) for the paper cassette, and 60 and 220 g/m² (16
to 59 lb per ream) for the MP (Multi Purpose) tray.
Wavy or tight edges can cause paper misfeeds and
misalignments. The recommended moisture content is
between 4 and 6 %.
To maintain the correct moisture content level, store the
paper in an environment that allows moisture control. These
are tips for moisture control:
Paper weight equivalence table
The paper weight is listed with expression in U.S. bond
weight (lb) and European metric (g/m²). The shaded point

•
•
Store paper in a cool, dry place.
Leave packages of paper wrapped as long as possible.
Rewrap unused paper.
•
•
•
Return paper to its paper carton, whenever possible.
Place the cartons on a pallet or other furniture so that
they are not in direct contact with the floor.
Before using paper stored for an extended period of time,
condition it in the printer’s environment for at least 48
hours.

Technically, grain is the direction of paper in the paper
machine. Grain is parallel with the direction of movement in
the paper machine. Grain long means that the grain runs
along the length of the sheet, and grain short means that the
grain runs along the width of the sheet. Because grain short
causes paper feed problems, always select grain long for the
printers.

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper
Specially processed paper
2.2.3
Other properties of paper
Avoid using the types of specially processed paper listed
below, even if the paper meets the other basic specifications
defined in this manual. Be sure to perform some test prints
before purchasing any type of paper in large quantities.
Porosity
The density of paper structure, which indicates the
compactness of the fiber bonding. It is also the characteristic
that allows air to pass through paper (i.e., air permeability).
•
•
•
•
Shiny paper
Very thin paper
Rough paper
Perforated paper
Stiffness
The ability of paper to resist deformation under stress. In the
printer, limp paper can buckle and too stiff paper can bind.
Both conditions result in paper jams.
Curl
Most paper naturally tends to curl one way. To produce flat
printouts, load the paper sheets so that the upward pressure
from the printer can correct their curling. When loading
paper, it is also important to distinguish between the front
side and backside of the paper. Be sure to follow the paper
loading instructions printed on the paper carton.
Electrostatic discharge
During the printing process, paper is given an electrostatic
charge to attract the toner. Therefore, the paper must
discharge the static electricity so that the printouts do not
stick to each other in the output tray.
Whiteness
The contrast of printed images depends on the whiteness of
the paper. Whiter paper produces sharper and clearer images.
Quality control
Uneven paper sizes, corners that are not square, jagged paper
edges, irregularly cut sheets, torn edges and corners, etc. can
cause various printer troubles. Before purchasing paper, find
out whether the paper store always takes measures to prevent
such problems in its products.
Packaging
Paper sheets should be shipped in strong cartons to protect
them from damage during transportation. Before purchasing
paper, make sure the store ships its products in proper
packages.

Table 2-4
When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold
them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on
them.
When printing on A4 size paper with thickness
above 200g/m , feed the paper sideways from
the MP tray. Landscape feeding can cause
paper jams.

Note
Adhesive-backed labels
You can assign one of these special paper type to a paper
cassette or MP (multi-purpose) tray by using the printer’s
operator panel keys. Then, the printer can automatically
select the paper cassette or multi-purpose tray to feed the
special paper from and internally adjust the electrical
parameters for optimum printing performance according to
the special paper type. For details, see 3.10.4 Setting the
Label paper must be fed manually.
For printing on labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive
may not come in direct contact with any part of the printer.
Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers will cause printer
damage.
Labels consist of three parts. Printing is done onto the top
sheet (also called the face sheet). The adhesive contains
chemicals. The carrier sheet (also called the backing paper or
liner) bears the top sheet. This composition of labels can
cause more problems than other print forms during printing.
Note that some types of special paper do not allow feeding
from the paper feeder cassette or duplex (two-sided) printing.
Top sheet (white bond paper)
2.4.1
Selecting the special paper
Adhesive
Carrier sheet
Since special paper differs significantly in paper composition
and quality, special paper is more likely to cause problems
than white bond paper during printing. When using special
paper, be sure that they are manufactured for photocopiers
and/or printers.
Figure 2-11
When using label paper, do not leave gaps between the
arranged labels (i.e., top sheets). Labels arranged with gaps
in-between can easily be peeled off during printing, causing
serious jam problems.
Kyocera Mita shall not be liable for any danger
to a person or machine that is caused by using
special paper (e.g., fumes emitted from the
special paper).

2.4 Special Paper
When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s
outside edges that correspond to the margins of the printable
area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet
until printing is finished.
Postcards
Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading
them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going
to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause
paper jams.
Allowed
Top sheet
Figure 2-13
Not allowed
Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards
on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to
smooth them.

2.4 Special Paper
Envelopes
Envelopes must be fed manually.
Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than
that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure
consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.
Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. See
wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the
printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to
check whether the printer accepts the envelope.
Other handling cautions follow:
•
•
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid
adhesive.
Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only.
Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer
wear.
•
To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack the
printed envelopes no higher than 10 on the output tray.
Colored paper
Colored paper should have the same specifications as the
white bond paper listed. In addition, the pigments in the
paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).
Pre-printed paper
Pre-printed paper should basically be bond paper. The inks
on the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing
during the printing process and must not be adversely
affected by silicon oil. Do not use paper with any kind of
coating, such as calendar stock.
Recycled paper
Select recycled paper that has the same specifications as
paper, however, does not have to be as white as white bond
paper.
Before purchasing recycled paper, make a test
using the printer and check whether the print
quality is satisfactory.

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel
This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys Color printer. In
general you need to use the operator panel only to make default settings. You can make most
changes to the printer settings using the printer driver trough the application software.
Changes to printer settings made using a software application override changes made
using the operator panel.
Note
You can also rely on other printer utilities such as Kyocera Mita PrintMonitor if you need to
change settings that are not available on the printer driver. It will allow you remotely access
to printer settings. Printer utilities are supplied in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
The chapter describes the operator panel in detail, including its menus and the procedures
for changing various printer settings.

e-MPS
e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System’ which implements the
following functions that are available from the printer driver:
•
•
Job retention
Job storage
In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the
computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document
are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling
time and less network traffic.
•
•
To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk (HD-10) must be installed in the
printer.
Note
As an alternative to a hard disk, the RAM disk may be used in the Proof-and-Hold
and Private Print modes. To activate the RAM disk in the printer, see Using the
Job retention

Printing a Private Print/Job
Retention
All quick copy jobs are automatically deleted when the
printer is turned off. If you desire to explicitly delete a stored
quick copy job, proceed as follows:
In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed
until you release the job from the operator panel. At sending
the job from the application software, you can specify a
4-digit access code in the printer driver. The job is released
for printing by entering the access code on the operator
panel. Thus, this function ensures confidentiality of the print
job.
Follow steps 1 through 8 in the above section to let
the title of the job to be deleted displayed.
1
When the title of the job to be deleted is displayed,
e.g. Report, below, press the ENTER key. The
cursor below the copy count starts to blink.
2
In the job retention mode, access codes are not mandatory,
but can be set on the printer driver if printing with the PIN
security is required. Then, the access code must be entered
on the operator panel to print a stored job. Print data will be
stored in the hard disk/RAM disk after printing. See KX
Printer Drivers Operation Guide for the driver settings.

The Tone Mode selects the way the printer handles a pixel for
representing the color and halftoning for each pixel —
Normal or Fine. The Fine tone mode uses four-bit smooth
halftone for photographs, image, etc.; and the Normal tone
mode uses a two-bit halftone for text, solid objects, etc. Either
of these tone modes consistently affects all objects on a page.
Press the ENTER key to finalize the tone mode.
Press the MENU key. The display returns to Ready.
3.8.2
Gloss Mode
The Fine tone mode provides the print quality better than
Normal, but the printing speed is slower and more memory is
required. To enable the printing in Fine tone mode (4 bpp) on
A3 with duplex printing, the minimum printer memory
requirement is approximately 160 MB.
The gloss mode, when set to High, increases the effect of
glossiness in printing by reducing the printing speed by half.
The gloss mode is not available when Transparencyis
selected as the paper type setting.
The amount of memory actually required may
vary depending on the data to print.
Depending on the paper used, printing in gloss
mode may cause wrinkle in paper. To reduce

Cassette Mode (default)
The MP tray acts in the same manner as the paper feed
cassette. The printer can feed paper the MP tray in the
similar manner as you would do on the printer driver to
feed paper from the paper feed cassette. The cassette
mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.
3.10.2 Setting MP Tray Paper Size
When you use the MP tray in cassette mode, you should set
the MP tray size to the paper size that is used to format the
job to print. If the sizes do not match, printing will be done
on the wrong size paper. The default setting is Lettersize
for the U.S. and Canada and A4for other countries.
To use the MP tray in cassette mode, select the paper size
of the MP tray. Refer to 3.10.2 Setting MP Tray Paper
•
First Mode
The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP
tray overriding another paper source that is selected on the
printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have
been used up, paper will be fed from the paper source
originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper
of special size or type without reloading the current paper
source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if you
desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.

which pages are joined together along their long edge; and
short-edge binding, in which they are joined together along
their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use
long-edge or short-edge binding with either landscape or
portrait printing.

General considerations for clearing jams
Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting jam removal:
When you remove paper jams, be sure to remove all of the jammed paper in the printer.
•
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace the paper with
paper from another ream, flip the paper stack over, or rotate the paper stack 180
The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after the paper was replaced.
Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after printing is resumed
depends on the location of the paper jam.
Caution
•
Utilizing online help messages
Online help messages are available in the printer’s message display to provide simple
instructions for clearing jams. Press the ? key when the paper jam message has appeared.
Then a help message will appear to facilitate jam clearing in the location.

•
Always clean the interior of the printer after
replacing a toner container. See 5.3 Cleaning
the Printer on page 5-7 for more information.
5.1.1
Toner Container Replacement
Requirements
The actual life of a toner container depends on the amount of
toner you use for printing your particular documents. With
about 5% coverage (a typical business document) and
printing on A4 or letter size paper, landscape orientation, a
toner container can print approximately 20,000 images. The
actual number of images that can be copied depends on the
content of the images.
5.1.2
Toner Container Replacement
Request
The printer displays messages for individual colors at two
stages of toner usage. This message is automatically
alternated with the other printer message (such as Ready):
You can print a status page to check how much toner you
have remaining in each toner container. For details, see 3.3.2
•
When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in
the cyan container, the printer displays the message
Toner low C, M, Y, Kas the first caution. Note the
replacement is not always necessary at this stage.
If you ignore the above message and continue printing,
the printer displays the message Replace Toner—
just before the toner is used up. The toner container must
be replaced immediately. Clean the separate charger
wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, however, the
message does not automatically change to Ready. To
restart printing, you must press the GO key and make the
printer ready.
Starter toner containers
The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter
toner containers. The starter toner containers lasts an average
of 6,000 pages under the conditions described above.
