IBM program license agreement
This limitation will not apply to claims for bodily injury or
damages to real or tangible personal property for which IBM
is legally liable.
The device you have purchased contains one or more software
programs (“programs”) which belong to international busi-
ness machines corporation (“IBM”). This document defines
the terms and conditions under which the software is being li-
censed to you by IBM. If you do not agree with the terms and
conditions of this license, then within 14 days after your ac-
quisition of the device you may return the device for a full re-
fund. If you do not so return the device within the 14 days,
then you will be assumed to have agreed to these terms and
conditions.
IBM will not be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, or any in-
cidental damages or other economic consequential damages,
even if IBM, or its authorized supplier, has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. IBM will not be liable for any dam-
ages claimed by you based on any third party claim. This limita-
tion of remedies also applies to any developer of Programs
supplied to IBM. IBM’s and the developer’s limitations of reme-
dies are not cumulative. Such a developer is an intended benefi-
ciary of this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow these
limitations or exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
The Programs are licensed not sold. IBM, or the applicable
IBM country organization, grants you a license for the Pro-
grams only in the country where you acquired the Programs.
You obtain no rights other than those granted you under this
license.
4. General
You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may termi-
nate your license if you fail to comply with the terms and con-
ditions of this license. In either event, you must destroy all
your copies of the Program. You are responsible for payment
of any taxes, including personal property taxes, resulting from
this license. Neither party may bring an action, regardless of
form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If
you acquired the Program in the United States, this license is
governed by the laws of the State of New York. If you acquired
the Program in Canada, this license is governed by the laws of
the Province of Ontario. Otherwise, this license is governed by
the laws of the country in which you acquired the Program.
The term “Programs” means the original and all whole or par-
tial copies of it, including modified copies or portions merged
into other programs. IBM retains title to the Programs. IBM
owns, or has licensed from the owner, copyrights in the Pro-
grams.
1. License
Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the
device on which they are installed and transfer possession of
the Programs and the device to another party.
If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong pa-
per can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print
quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage
the printer. The guidelines given below will increase the pro-
ductivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free
printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.
Minimum and maximum paper sizes
The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For
non standard paper such as cut-sheet, the MP (multi-pur-
pose) tray must be used.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard,
and premium. The most significant difference between grades
is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is
affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the
paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the
grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper
jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality
your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also
affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer can-
not produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is
used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it
causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights
(defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20,
2
and 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m ).

Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic dis-
charge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through
the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twist-
ing motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the print-
er’s requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the
printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently.

Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors
to consider when selecting paper for the printer are as follows:

Condition of the Paper

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn,
embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Table 2-3
Paper with other sizes (custom sizes) can also be fed from the
MP tray. The minimum size paper for manual feed is 88 × 148
mm (3-1/2 × 5-13/16 inches), fed lengthwise. The maximum
size is 297 × 450 mm (11-11/16 × 17-3/4 inches).
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing,
misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the
printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coat-
ing or other surface treatment. The paper should have as
smooth and even a surface as possible.
Smoothness
Composition
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with
a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output.
Paper that is too smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding
and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and
contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such
paper to give off harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 %
of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
Basis Weight
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In
the traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream con-
sisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the
metric system the standard quantity is 1 square meter.
Paper Size
Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes
listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7
mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at
the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding,
jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper
weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fus-
ing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The proper

Thickness (Caliper)
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin pa-
per as low-caliper paper. The paper used with the printer
should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and
faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing,
the paper may be too thick. The proper thickness is 0.086 to
0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Chapter 2 Handling Paper
Moisture Content
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the
whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper,
brighter appearance.
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to
the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s ap-
pearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner
fusing characteristics.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not
square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed
edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in var-
ious ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable
care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative hu-
midity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and
the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becom-
ing wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low
and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten,
and print contrast may suffer.
Wavy or tight edges can cause misfeeding and alignment
anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to
6%. To ensure the proper moisture content, it is important to
store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on
moisture control are:
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to pro-
tect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained
from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
• Store paper in a cool, dry location.
• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap
paper that is not in use.
• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet, etc., under
the carton to separate it from the floor.
• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same
room as the printer for 48 hours before use.
• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight,
or damp.
Paper Grain
When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the
grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to
the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding
problems in the printer. All paper used in the printer should
be long grain.
Other Paper Properties
Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is,
how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded.
Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while pa-
per that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper
jam.
Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direc-
tion. The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is
downward, to counteract the upward curl imparted by the
printer. Printed sheets will then come out flat. Most paper
also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions are
usually given on the paper package.
NOTE
If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when
the paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper
in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets
will then come out flat.
Electrostatic properties: During the printing process, the pa-
per is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper
must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do
not cling together in the output tray.

2.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels
2. Special Paper
This section explains printing on special paper. The page
printer can use the following types of special paper. In this
case, set the media type according to the table below.
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the ad-
hesive must never come into contact with any part of the
printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will
damage the printer.
Paper type to be used
Colored paper
Media type to be selected
Color
Label paper must be manually fed.
Label paper has a structure comprised of three layers, as
shown in the figure below. The top sheet is printed on. The
adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The
carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds
the labels until use. Due to the complexity of its composition,
adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give
trouble in printing.

Top sheet (White
bond paper)
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products
that are specified for use with photocopiers and/or page print-
ers. Feed paper other than colored paper or preprinted paper
from the MP (multi-purpose) tray. Use paper that is sold spe-
cifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Label paper
and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette.
Adhesive
Carrier sheet
Figure 2-2
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top
sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels
with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious pa-
per jam problems.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary con-
siderably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper
to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if
moisture, etc., given off in printing on special paper causes
harm to the machine or operator.
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of
top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet
from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.

Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on

If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very
gently as it leaves the printer.
An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of
paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain consis-
tent print quality over the entire envelope surface.

Grain on page 2-3). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle
and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing
envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the
envelope’s suitability.
3. Paper Type
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting
for the type of paper being used.
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s
operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select
the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type
of paper.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper
source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types
be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select
customized paper types. See Customizing Paper Type on
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhe-
sive.
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Exten-
sive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To
avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more
than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the pa-
per trays during multiple envelope printing.
Colored Paper
The following types of paper can be set.
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to with-
stand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200
°C or 392 °F).

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel
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.
NOTE
Items and values on the status page may vary depending on
the printer’s firmware version.

2.2.10 Operating the RAM Disk
The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer
memory that can temporarily store print jobs. The RAM disk
can be used only for electronic sorting. The stored print job
can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing
the total amount of time required to print the whole job. It
acts similarly to the hard disk except that the data is effective
only when the printer is powered up.

striction, the printer automatically rounds it down so that the
size is always 24 MB less than the total printer memory. Once
the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset.

binding, in which pages are joined together along their long
edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined to-
gether 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.

plex unit provides four types of binding setups. These are: (1)

on the point at which the jam occurred, the printer may or
may not print the jammed page.
NOTE
When removing jammed paper, pull it out carefully so as not
to tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult to remove and may
be hand to find. Be sure to remove them all.
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of

of paper over, or turn the paper the other way around. Also,
look for tiny pieces of paper that may have been torn off and
overlooked when the jammed paper was removed.

into a single bundle.
2
H6: Buffer nearly-full threshold
This is a percentage from 0 to 99. The factory default setting
is 90.
Using a section of flat wire about 3 mm wide and 15
mm long, connect the bundle of shield wires to the
metal facing of the connector. Check that the solder
connections are secure.
3
H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold
This is a percentage from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 70.
The factory default settings of the buffer nearly-full and near-
ly-empty thresholds (H6 and H7) are subject to change with-
out notification.
Desolder wires 2 and 3, then resolder them in
crossed configuration. Solder wire 2 to pin 3 and
wire 3 to pin 2. Cover the solder joints with ther-
mofit tube.
4
The gap between the nearly-full and nearly-empty thresholds
allows the computer to send a fairly large amount of data in
a continuous stream.
Cut wires 4, 5, 6, and 20.
5
H8: Received-data buffer size
This is the size of the input buffer, specified in units of 10
Kbytes. The factory-set value is 6, meaning 60 Kbytes.
Solder wires 5 and 6 together and connect them to
pin 20. Cover the solder joints with a thermofit tube.
Leave wire 4 unconnected.

Glossary
Cassette mode
KM-NET VIEWER
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When this mode is
used, approximately 200 sheets of plain paper can be fed con-
tinuously, the same as for the cassette. Cassette mode is spec-
ified as the factory setting, but you can change this setting
from the printer’s operator panel.
This is a network management tool that can be used with the
Kyocera Mita FS series. You can view information for
printers connected to the network using SNMP commands.
KM-NET VIEWER is contained on the Kyocera Mita
Software Library CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
dpi (dots per inch)
MB (mega byte)
This indicates the number of dots printed per inch, and is the
unit of printer resolution.
This unit is used to express data quantities and memory ca-
pacities. 1 MB is equivalent to 1024 kB, or 1,048,576 bytes.
EcoPrint
MP tray
This is a printing mode that controls toner consumption. Pag-
es printed in the Ecoprint mode are lighter than pages print-
ed in the normal mode. The default setting is Off.
This is an abbreviation for Multi-Purpose tray. The MP tray
is used instead of the cassette when printing on envelopes,
postcards, transparency sheets, and labels.
Emulation
Offline
This refers to emulation of manufacturers’ printers. The print-
er emulates the operation of the following printers: PCL 6, KC-
GL, Line printer, IBM Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-
850, and KPDL.
The printer can receive data, but cannot print. Turn the
printer online if you want to print.
Online
The printer can output received data.
Expansion memory
This option is used to increase printer memory. The printer
has two expansion sockets, into both of which you can install
a 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB DIMM (Dual Inline
Memory Module). See your Kyocera Mita dealer to purchase
the DIMM that is best suited for use with this printer.
Operator panel
This is located on the top of the printer. The panel consists of
the message display, three indicators and eight keys. The
message display shows the printer’s status. Press the keys
when you want to switch the printer between online and of-
fline status, or to cancel printing.
First mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. If there is paper
inserted in the MP tray, the first paper will always feed from
there even if another paper source is selected.
Outline font
With outline fonts, characters’ outlines are represented by
numerical expressions, and fonts can be enlarged, reduced, or
painted in different ways by changing the numeric values of
those expressions. Printing remains clear even if you enlarge
fonts, since the letters are defined by an outline. You can
specify font size in steps of 0.25 points up to 999.75 points.
IEEE1284
This is a standard used when connecting a printer to a com-
puter, and was established by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers in 1994.
Parallel Interface
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
With this interface, data transfer between the printer and the
computer takes place on 8-bit chunks. The printer can per-
form IEEE1284 compatible bi-directional communications.
This is Kyocera Mita’s original smoothing function. It uses
software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce
high-quality printing. The default setting is On.

Glossary
Printer driver
The printer driver makes it possible for you to print data cre-
ated using application software. The printer driver for the
printer is on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM
supplied with the printer. Install the printer driver on the
computer connected to the printer.
RAM disk
This is a virtual disk drive that uses part of the printer’s
memory. With RAM disk you can set any memory size arbi-
trarily, and use electronic sorting (to reduce print time).
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
This is a protocol for the management of networks that use
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
Sleep mode
This mode is activated after a specified amount of time elaps-
es. The printer goes into economy mode and a minimum
amount of power is consumed. You can change the amount of
time before the printer goes into sleep mode from the printer’s
operator panel. The default setting is 30 minutes.
Status page
This lists printer conditions, such as the printer’s memory,
the total number of copies printed, and paper source settings.
