Chapter 1
Installing the Printer
This chapter explains how to unpack and install the printer. The topics covered are:
Positioning the printer
Unpacking and inspection
Names of parts
Setting up and interfacing
1.1. Positioning the Printer
Clearance
Allow at least the necessary minimum clearance around the printer (see below). A total space
of 92 cm by 61 cm by 138 cm (36 by 24 by 54 inches) is needed.
Places to Avoid
Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:
Direct drafts of hot or cold air
Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near doors leading outside.)
Sudden temperature or humidity changes
Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators
Excessive dust
30 cm (12 inches)
40 cm (16 inches)
[20 cm (8 inches) when
the face-up output tray is
not installed.]
25 cm (10 inches)
60 cm (24 inches)
30 cm (12 inches)
1.1. Positioning the Printer
1-1
Vibration
Ammonia or other harmful fumes. (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make
liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)
Excessive sunlight or humidity
Lack of ventilation
Low air pressure, e.g., located more than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level
Basic requirements
The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:
Near the computer
If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable
should be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
Level and well supported
Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand,
or table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer.
Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see sec-
tion Power Supply on next page).
Power requirements are:
Voltage
120 V (U.S.A./Canada), 220 V to 240 V (European countries), 10 % at each voltage
Frequency
60 Hz (120 V), 2 %
50 Hz (220 V to 240 V), 2 %
Current
capacity
FS-1700: Max. 5.8 A at 120 V, or Max 3 A at 220 V to 240 V
FS-3700: Max. 7.8 A at 120 V, or Max 4 A at 220 V to 240 V
The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used.
If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 me-
ters (17 feet) or less.
Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry
Temperature
10°C to 32.5°C, ideally about 20°C (50°F to 90.5°F, ideally about 68°F)
Humidity
20% to 80%, ideally 65%
If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you
may not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.

1.1. Positioning the Printer
1-2
Power Supply
The printer should not be on the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light,
copier, or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it
must share a power circuit with equipment like this, a high-frequency noise filter or isolation
transformer is advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.)
Avoid using plug multipliers to connect a large number of devices on the same circuit as the
printer.
If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In
places where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator.
1.2. Unpacking and Inspection
The printer is packed as shown below. Unpack the printer following diagrams 1 and 2 on the
next page. While unpacking it, check that the listed parts are all accounted for.
Examine the package for any signs of damage that may have been caused during transporta-
tion. If the carton is found to be badly damaged, leave the carton unopened and immediately
notify the dealer from whom you purchased the printer.
Save the box and other packing materials in case you have to repack the printer for transporta-
tion at a later date.
As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer’s AC primary circuit, an
easily accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment.
If the printer is used with the optional Sorter (SO-6) or Stacker (ST-20), in order to
avoid short-circuiting, it should be ensured that these devices are plugged securely
into their respective power outlets.
Da kein Trennschalter in den Wechselstrom-Primärkreis des Druckers eingebaut ist,
muß eine leicht zugängliche Steckdose in der Nähe des Gerätes vorhanden sein.
Wenn der Drucker mit dem gesonderten Sorter (SO-6) oder Stapler (ST-20) verwen-
det wird, muß darauf geachtet werden, daß diese Geräte einwandfrei an separate
Steckdosen angeschlossen sind, um Kurzschluß zu vermeiden.

key.
If the printer is on-line, it changes to off-line. If the printer is off-line, it changes back to on
-line.
The ON LINE indicator lights when the printer is on-line.
Going off-line may or may not halt communication between the printer and computer, de-
pending on details of the current interface. While off-line, the printer continues to accept any
data that arrives until the current interface buffer is full, at which point it instructs the com-
puter to stop sending data. Data stored while off-line are printed when the printer is returned
to the on-line state.
Abandoning a Printing Job
You can abandon a printing job before it is completed. If the printer is simultaneously receiv-
ing data on more than one interface, you can selectively cancel the printing job on a particular
interface.
This procedure can be used while the message display indicates or
.
2.2. Operating Procedures

By default, each one column for the serial and parallel interfaces appears on the status page
and any changes in the settings affect the serial or parallel interface respectively. With an op-
tional interface installed, a column for the option interface is also displayed.
These parameters may be set independently for each interface, i.e. changes made to the set-
tings for one interface do not affect the other interface(s). Commands to change these set-
tings affect the interface on which the command was received. Some of these settings may
also be changed from the printer’s front panel by first selecting the desired interface and then
changing the setting. For more information on setting these parameters, see the PRESCRIBE II
Programming manual Chapter 5, Permanent Parameters.

The second status page is a list of fonts (if any) and font information that has been down-
loaded from the computer.
In the example below, first three lines represent the numbers, font names (typefaces), and the
sizes in kilobytes of three downloaded bitmap fonts. In line 4, you can see the Swiss742SWC
-Bold font with font number 3000.
Form Feed
Depending on your software, there is sometimes a delay before the printer prints the last page
of a job. This occurs when the printer is not informed by a code or command that the job is
over.
If you wait a while, the printer will eventually time out and print the last page. If you do not
want to wait, you can obtain the page immediately by pressing the
FORM FEED
key.
The
FORM FEED
key can be used when the printer is on-line and the message display indicates
Waiting. The
FORM FEED
key does not operate while the printer is off-line. Form feed effects
only the current interface. It will not feed out a page that may be in the other interface’s buff-
er.
Most application software sends the end-of-job command automatically.
Pressing the
FORM FEED
key in the middle of a printing job may cause an unex-
pected page break and other printing errors.

2.7. Resource Protection
When you switch from the HP LaserJet emulation to another, all downloaded fonts and macros are
lost. Resource protection preserves these PCL resources in memory so that they are intact when you
change the emulation back to HP LaserJet 4 Plus.
By using the printer’s MODE SELECT, you can select from two resource protection modes as
follows:
In this mode, the printer stores fonts, macros, symbol sets, etc. in memory that were downloaded
as permanent PCL resources. All temporary resources are lost when the emulation mode is changed
from HP LaserJet 4 Plus to another or vice versa.
In this mode, the printer stores both permanent and temporary resources when the emulation
mode is changed from HP LaserJet 4 Plus to another or vice versa.
Resource protection requires extra memory to store the downloaded fonts and
macros. The total size of the printer memory recommended for using the re-
source protection option is affected by several factors. See section 1

2.10. Operating a Memory Card
Hints on Writing Fonts to the Memory Card
Some memory card writer utility programs are available for writing data to the memory card. If
you write fonts into a memory card, we recommend you write them as font data and not as
host data. Fonts written in a memory card as font data are automatically loaded in the printer
when it is switched on and are usable on all the printer interfaces simultaneously. The printer
reads only the header part of these fonts into its memory and therefore these fonts do not oc-
cupy a large area in the printer’s memory.
If you write the fonts in the memory card as host data, the fonts are transferred directly from the
memory card into the printer’s memory when the card is read. This may require extra memory to
be installed in the printer as they usually occupy a great amount of the printer’s memory. More-
over, use of the fonts is restricted on only the interface that was active during the fonts were read
from the memory card.
To properly write font data into the memory card, refer to the memory card writer manufac-
ture’s instructions.
Reading Fonts/Data from a Memory Card
If the memory card is already inserted in the slot when the printer is powered on, the fonts are
automatically read into the printer. To reread the fonts from a memory card, use the
function.
The PRESCRIBE II FRPO I0 command specifies the name of the partition in the
memory card to be read automatically at power up. See
PRESCRIBE II Program-
ming Manual, Chapter 5
.
2.10. Operating a Memory Card
2-20
Writing Data to a Memory Card
A memory card can hold up to 127 data partition names, depending on its capacity. When
writing to the card, a name is assigned automatically. You can use the procedure later in this
section to print a list of data names for confirmation.
You cannot write font data to a memory card with the printer.
To write data to a memory card, proceed as follows.
First check that the memory card can be writable (that the memory card is properly formatted,
not write-protected, and its internal battery is not exhausted, for example). Otherwise, the
message to be explained below will not be shown on the message display.
If the card inserted in the memory card slot is not formatted, the
option will automatically appear on the display. Refer to
Formatting a memory
card
which follows this section and format the memory card.
1.
With the message display showing , press the
ENTER
key. A blinking
question mark will appear as follows:
2.
Press the
ENTER
key. The message display changes to show , then to
. If you want to abandon writing, press the
CANCEL
key.
3.
In this state, send the file from the computer to the printer as in the example below.
Example:
To send the file (data)
TEST.TXT
on drive C, enter the following at the DOS prompt (C:\):
COPY TEST.TXT PRN
The file is written onto the memory card given a destination name (also referred to as a
partition name
) which the printer automatically assigns one after another as follows:
DataS001 (first data), DataS002 (second data), DataS003 (third data),
... DataS127 (last data)
In the example above, if the file
TEST.TXT
is the first data to be written onto the memory
card, the destination name will be
DataS001
.
By using the PRESCRIBE II ICCD (read/write memory card) command to write data to a
memory card, you can change the destination name to be the same as the original name
or any other name you desire.
As the printer receives data, the message display changes to , then
when the end of the data is received, the message display changes to .
2.10. Operating a Memory Card
2-21
4.
Check that the message display has changed to , then press the (
FORM
FEED
) key. This writes the file to the memory card and instructs the printer to automat-
ically print out a memory card write information page as shown below.
Type of data written (currently only type 2 is supported).
Partition (data) name. The destination name of data written to the card.
Write data length. The size of the written data on the memory card in bytes.
Others. Error information.
When the memory card write information page is printed, the message display returns to
.
If the writing was not completed successfully, an error code appears on the message dis-
play. For details, see Section
5.5. Indicators and Messages
. If this happens, press the
CONT
key. The message display returns to .
5.
Repeat above steps until you have transferred all data (files) that you want to write to the
memory card. Each time you finish writing data, a memory card write information page
is printed from the printer showing the information explained in step 4 above, but per-
taining only to the data just written. To see all data contained in the memory card at
once, print a list of data names as explained on the last page of this manual.
Deleting Data from a Memory Card
It is possible to use the printer to delete data from a memory card one by one.
First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write
-protected, data exists on the card, and its internal battery is not exhausted). Otherwise, the
menu will not be shown on the message display.
When the deletion is completed, the printer automatically prints out a memory card status
page as shown on page
2-24
.

2-22
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting allows data to be written to the card. A new memory card must be formatted be-
fore it can be used in the printer.
Formatting destroys any existing data on the memory card.
First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write
-protected, and its internal battery is not exhausted).
When the formatting operation is successfully completed, the printer automatically prints out
a formatting information page as shown below.
Card size. The total size of the memory card memory in bytes.
Data size. The size the printer uses for its system in bytes.
Remaining size. The size remaining in the memory card for storing data in bytes.
2.10. Operating a Memory Card
2-23
Printing a list of data names
The printer prints a list of all data names (referred to as
partitions
) stored in a memory card for
reference. (Printing a list is also available for a font card.)
The printout (example above) includes the following information.
Partition (data) number. Reference number for each written data.
Name. The destination name of the written data as assigned automatically by the printer.
Size. The size of the written data in bytes.
Type. The type of the written data i.e., whether it is host data (Data) or font data (Font).
Card size. The total capacity of the memory card in bytes.
Data size. The total size of the data stored in the memory card in bytes.
Remaining size. The size of the capacity remaining in the memory card for storing further data, including
the amount of memory that the printer uses for its system (approximately 70 bytes).
Current terminating string. The PRESCRIBE II command that terminates a writing operation when writing
to memory card using the PRESCRIBE II ICCD command; usually WRED.

Chapter 3
Fonts
This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the
printer’s resident and KPDL fonts (option), and symbol sets.
3.1. Bitmap and Scalable Fonts
A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Sev-
eral characteristics identify a font. These include the font type (bit map or scalable), symbol
set, spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.
The printer provides two types of resident fonts: bitmap fonts and scalable (outline) fonts .
Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printer’s memory from a memory card or disk. These
fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable
fonts as its user available memory permits.
3.1. Bitmap and Scalable Fonts
3-1
Bitmap fonts
A bitmap font is made of a fixed bit pattern (Figure 3.1.).
This pattern is stored in a special format for use in the
printer. Bitmap fonts have a fixed height (size) for each char-
acter. Therefore, different font sets are required for different
font sizes. For example, Dutch801BM10-Roman is a 10
-point font and Dutch801BM8-Roman is an 8-point font.
Scalable fonts
Scalable fonts provide the outline of the characters (Figure
3.2.). This outline is scaled according to the scaling informa-
tion from the computer and filled in for printing. Depending
on the capabilities of the software you use, the scalable fonts
can be scaled from 0.25 point to 999.75 points in quarter
point increments.

This section contains a full list of the printer’s resident fonts. You can print the same font list from
the printer by using the printer’s control panel key. To print a list of fonts, refer to Mode Select
Menu , List of Resident fonts.
Bitmap Fonts
The printer has 79 resident bitmap fonts. Note that all resident bitmap fonts include the letters

3.3. Symbol set
A symbol set is the set of alphabetical and numerical characters and symbols the printer prints.
Each character is assigned to a particular character code.
The page printer offers not only a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts but also a large
selection of symbol sets (also referred to as character sets). This is because the printers the
Kyocera page printer emulates have a number of their own symbol sets for printing in different
languages and other purposes. Most of those symbol sets are the same regarding the letters
of the alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation marks, but they differ considerably in their spe-
cial symbols which lie in the upper half of the character code table, consisting of character
codes 128 through 254 (hex 80 through FE).
The symbol set selection can also be made from the printer’s control panel. See Mode Select
Menu on the last page in this manual.

Maintenance
This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity of
printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the
printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print
quality, various parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.
4.1. Toner Kit Replacement
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows
Toner low TK-20 Clean printer or soon after. If you continue to use the printer,
eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the
Replace Toner Clean printer message will be shown instructing you to install a
new toner kit.
Toner kit replacement interval
The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If
you print documents with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (with the Ecoprint
mode* turned off), the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 10,000**
pages (20,000 pages with the TK-20H).
* Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.
** In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of pages that can be printed will
be 6,000.
Toner Kit to be Used
The toner kit to be used with this printer is the TK-20/TK-20H. It contains the following:
p Toner container
p Waste toner bottle
p Wiper (lint-free) cloth
p Grid cleaner
p 2 plastic bags (for disposal of the old toner container and waste toner bottle)
p Instructions
(The initial toner kit that comes with the printer does not include plastic bags for disposal.)
* We strongly recommend you use only the original Kyocera toner kit. Use of
original Kyocera toner assures the intended long term reliability of the printer.

Supplying Toner
Before proceeding, take note of the following:
Do not leave floppy disks etc. lying around while performing this mainte-
nance procedure. This procedure tends to raise a little toner dust which can
harm magnetic recording media.
Do not attempt to reuse the waste toner remaining in the toner container.
Use only the toner kit exclusively designed for the printer. Use of a toner kit
intended for use with other printer models may damage the printer and
void the warranty.
To replace the toner container, proceed as follows.
1. Open the printer’s top cover all the way.
2. Press the toner container release lever
(Green ) to release the old toner container
from the printer. Remove the old toner
container as gently as possible.

bag supplied with the toner kit. Dispose
of the toner container.
The old toner container may be in-
cinerated without the risk of gener-
ating harmful gas.
4. Take the new toner container from its
bag.
With the label side down, thoroughly
shake the toner container (in the direc-
tion of the arrow) ten times or more to
loosen and mix the toner inside.

Depending on the point at which the jam occurred, the printer may or may not print the
jammed page.
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace with paper from an-
other ream, turn the stack of paper over, or turn the paper the other way around. Read the in-
formation in Appendix B. Also, look for tiny pieces of paper that may have been torn off and
overlooked when the jammed paper was removed.
If you cannot solve the problem by changing the paper, there may be a problem with the
printer. Call a service person.

When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to tear it. Torn pieces of paper
are difficult to remove and may be easily overlooked, deterring the jam recov-
ery.

Appendix B
Paper Selection
B.1. General Guidelines
The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary
dry copier machines), but it can accept a variety of other types of paper as well within the lim-
its specified below.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not
satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. The wrong paper can result in jams, misfeeds, curl,
poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer. The guide-
lines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free
printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic
copiers can also be used with the printer.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most signifi-
cant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is af-
fected 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 jam
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 cannot 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, and 24 pounds (60g/m
2
to 90g/m
2
).
B.1. General Guidelines
B-1
Paper Specifications
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the follow-
ing pages.
Table B.1 Specifications
Item Specification
Weight 60 to 90 g/m
2
(16 to 24 lbs./ream)
Thickness 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils)
Dimensional accuracy 0.7 mm ( 0.0276 inches)
Squareness of corners 90° 0.
Moisture content 4% to 6%
Direction of grain Long grain
Pulp content 80% or more
B.2. Selecting the Right Paper
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addi-
tion, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and
twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements with-
stands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copy consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors to consider when selecting pa-
per 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
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 coating
or other surface treatment. The paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
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.

B.2. Selecting the Right Paper
B-2
Paper Size
Cassettes and a multi-purpose tray are available for the paper sizes listed in Table
B.2
. The di-
mensional tolerances are 0.7 mm ( 0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at
the corners must be 90° 0.2°.
Table B.2 Paper Sizes for Paper Feeding
Multi-Purpose tray Size
Cassette or

Size
Monarch 3-7/8 x 7-1/2 inches Legal 8.5 x 14 inches
Business 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 inches Letter 8.5 x 11 inches
International DL 11 x 22 cm ISO A4 210 x 297 mm
International C5 16.2 cm x 22.9 cm ISO A5 148 x 210 mm
International B5 17.6 x 25 cm JIS B5 182 x 257 mm
Executive 7-1/4 x 10-1/2 inches
Other sizes of paper can be fed manually.
The minimum size of manually fed paper is 80 x 148
mm (3.1 x 5.8 inches), fed lengthwise. The maximum
size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
Commercial 9 3-7/8 x 8-7/8 inches
Commercial 6-3/4 3-5/8 x 6-1/2 inches
ISO A6 105 x 148 mm
JIS B6 128 x 182 mm
Smoothness
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 feed-
ing and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Basis Weight
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the traditional system the stand-
ard quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 x 22 inches each. In the metric
system the standard quantity is 1 square meter.
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 fusing, blur-
ring, and other print quality problems. The proper weight is 60 to 90 g/m
2
(16 to 24
lbs/ream).
Thickness (Caliper)
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper 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 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).
Moisture Content
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper.
Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and
toner fusing characteristics.
±±
±
B.2. Selecting the Right Paper
B-3
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the
relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming
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 envi-
ronment. Some tips on moisture control are:
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 prob-
lems 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, to how openly or compactly the
fibers are bonded.
Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper 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 direction. 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.
Electrostatic properties: During the printing process the paper 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.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter
paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
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 various ways. A
quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
B.2. Selecting the Right Paper
B-4
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during trans-
port. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
B.3. Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
Overhead projection (OHP) film
Adhesive-backed label paper
Envelopes
Colored paper
Preprinted paper
Recycled paper
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). OHP film, label paper,
and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette; they must be fed manually and delivered
in the face up stack.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, 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.
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and
check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
Overhead Projection (OHP) Film
OHP film must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should
satisfy the conditions in Table
B.3
.
Table B.3 OHP Film Specifications
Item Specification
Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190°C (374°F)
Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils)
Dimensional accuracy 0.7 mm ( 0.0276 in)
Squareness of corners 90° 0.2°
To avoid trouble, OHP film must be delivered face-up.
If OHP film jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it leaves the printer.

Adhesive-Backed Labels
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into con-
tact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage
the printer.
Label paper must be manually fed.
Label paper has a structure comprising
three layers, as shown in Figure
B.1
. The
top sheet is printed on. The adhesive
layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhe-
sives. 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 pa-
per is particularly likely to give trouble in
printing.
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 jam problems.
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.
Table
B.4
lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Envelopes
The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to 79 g/m
2
(16 to 21
lbs/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed.
An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason, it may not
be possible to obtain consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.
Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation. (See Paper Grain above.) 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.
Do not use envelopes having an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive 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 paper trays during multiple printing of the envelopes.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, listed in Table B.1. In
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during
the printing process (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The preprinted ink must be able to with-
stand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly
used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper (See Table
B.1 on page B-2. ) except whiteness.
Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that
printing quality is satisfactory.

Parallel interface communication modes
The printer features the fast data transmission on the parallel interface. The parallel interface
mode can be activated from the printer’s control panel (see Chapter 2, Operating the Page
Printer ) as follows:
Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standards.
Auto
The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the host computer is
currently using.
Normal
The printer uses the communication method discribed by to the normal definitions of the Cen-
tronics interface.
High-speed
This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the host computer.
C.1. Parallel Interface

Detailed descriptions of the signals follow.
Strobe* [nStrobe] (Pin 1)
A negative-going Strobe* pulse causes the printer to read and latch the data on the Data 0 [1]
to Data 7 [8] signal lines.
Data 0 [1] to Data 7 [8] (Pins 2 to 9)
These eight signals form the data byte sent from the host computer to the printer. Data 7 [8]
is the most significant bit.
Acknowledge* [nAck] (Pin 10)
This negative-going pulse acknowledges the previous character received by the printer. Ac-
knowledge* pulses are sent only when Busy is low.
Busy [Busy] (Pin 11)
This signal is high when the printer is busy and low when it is able to accept more data. Every
high-to-low transition is followed by an Acknowledge* pulse.
Paper Empty [PError] (Pin 12)
This signal goes high when the printer runs out of paper.
On-Line [Select] (Pin 13)
This signal is high when the printer is on-line and low when the printer is off-line. It goes low
when the upper unit is raised, or when the ON LINE key is pressed to set the printer off-line.
The Paper Empty and On-Line signals are not used unless enabled by the FRPO
command (O2 parameter).
Auto-Feed [nAutoFd] (Pin 14)
This signal is used in the Epson version of the Centronics interface to receive a carriage return.
In high-speed mode, it is used as an interrupt.
+5V DC (pin 18)
This line is connected to the printer’s +5V DC line (+5V 0.5V, 250 mA maximum, fused).
Prime [nInit] (Pin 31)
This signal is used in the standard Centronics interface to enable the computer to reset the
printer. It is ignored by the printer.
Error* [nFault] (Pin 32)
When the high-speed parallel line control is on (FRPO O2=2), this line returns error status.

RS-232C Interface Voltage Levels
The voltage levels of the interface signals conform to EIA RS-232C specifications. SPACE is
from 3 volts to 15 volts. MARK is from -3 volts to -15 volts. Voltages between -3 volts and 3
volts are undefined.
RS-422A interface
The serial interface of this printer was set to RS-232C mode before leaving the factory. How-
ever, by changing the jumper connector on the main circuit board, the interface can be
changed to RS-422A mode.
In RS-232C mode
, the printer can be connected to a personal computer (or similar de-
vice) equipped with an RS-232C serial interface. (The serial interface is set to RS-232C be-
fore leaving the factory.)
In RS-422A mode
, the printer can be connected to a personal computer (or similar de-
vice) equipped with an RS-422A serial interface.
The changing of the main circuit board jumper connector should be carried
out only by a Kyocera authorized dealer or Kyocera certified technician. Kyo-
cera shall not be liable for damage due to improper changing of this main cir-
cuit board jumper connector.
Removing the Main Circuit Board
The following instructions are intended for the technician only.
Notes on Handling the Main Circuit Board
Protect the electronics by taking these precautions:
Before touching the main circuit board, touch a water pipe or other large metal object
to discharge yourself of static electricity. While doing the work, it is recommended
that you wear an antistatic wrist strap.
Touch the main circuit board only by the edge.
C.2. RS-232C/RS-422A Interface
C-6
Withdrawing the Main Circuit Board from the Printer
Be sure to remove the memory card first if inserted in the printer’s memory
card slot.
Withdraw the main circuit board completely from the printer as follows:
1.
Turn the printer’s power off. Unplug the
printer’s power cable and disconnect the
printer from the host computer.
2.
Remove the three screws from the
printer’s rear cover.
3.
Pull the main circuit board all the way out
of the printer.
Before pulling the main board out,
clean an area on the table, etc., at the
back of the printer’s rear panel. For-
eign objects, accidentally sticking to
the back of the main board, can
cause serious damage to the printer.
Changing the Jumper Connector
1.
Carefully remove the jumper connector
from the main circuit board, and recon-
nect to the pin position shown in the dia-
gram.
2.
After completion of the above, return the main circuit board to the printer by reversing
the procedure followed when removing it.

C.3. RS-232C/RS-422A Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules the computer follows in sending data to the printer. The RS-232C/
RS-422A parameters are stored in battery backed-up memory. They are indicated on the status
printout. They can be changed by the FRPO (firmware reprogram) command described in the
Programming Manual. The parameters and their identification codes are given below.

The factory setting is 0.
H6: Buffer nearly-full threshold
This is a percentage from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 90.
H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold
This is a percentage from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 70.
The factory settings of the buffer nearly-full and nearly-empty thresholds (H6 and H7) are sub-
ject to change without notification.
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.
H8: Received-data buffer size
This is the size of the input buffer, specified in units of 10K bytes. The factory-set value is 6
meaning 60K bytes.
Since DTR/DSR protocol is not used with the RS-422A standard, select a pa-
rameter value other than 0, 1, or 2 for the H5 setting when using the RS-422A
interface.
PRESCRIBE II FRPO D0 command
The PRESCRIBE II FRPO D0 command is provided to allow manipulating XON/XOFF when an er-
ror has occured on the serial interface. The following table summarizes the error status corre-
sponding to different D0 values.

C.4. RS-232C Cable Connection
Preparing an RS-232C Cable
After obtaining an RS-232C cable, check that it is wired correctly, referring to the pin assign-
ment table in Appendix C. If you have an IBM communication adapter cable type 1502067,
you will have to resolder the wiring at the printer end of the cable. The procedure is as fol-
lows.
1.
Unscrew the plastic cover from the printer end of the cable.
2.
Next to each of the wires inside the cable is a bare shield wire. Solder all these shield
wires together into a single bundle.
3.
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.
4.
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 thermofit tube.
5.
Cut wires 4, 5, 6, and 20.
6.
Solder wires 5 and 6 together and connect them to pin 20. Cover the solder joints with
thermofit tube. Leave wire 4 unconnected.
7.
Tape all remaining loose ends, or seal them with thermofit tube.
8.
Screw the plastic cover back on.
Connecting the Printer to the Computer
1.
Check that the power of both the printer and computer is switched off.
2.
Discharge yourself by touching a metal object such as a doorknob.
3.
Remove the plastic cap from the printer’s RS-232C interface connector.
4.
Plug the printer end of the RS-232C interface cable into the printer’s RS-232C connector
and screw it in place.
5.
Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s RS-232C interface connector.
6.
Switch on the printer’s power.
7.
The printer’s RS-232C parameters are factory-set to the following values:
C.4. RS-232C Cable Connection
C-12
Baud rate=9600 bps, Data bits (character length)=8 bits,
Stop bits=1, Parity=None
The three RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR. The printer performs all three of
them simultaneously, using positive logic for DTR.
If you are uncertain as to the printer’s current parameter settings, you can reset them to
the values listed above by following the manner described in the last page in this man-
ual.
8.
Set the computer to the same parameters as the printer. On many computers this can be
done by setting DIP switches before power is turned on. Another method is as follows:
In DOS, enter the following commands:
C>MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P
C>MODE LPT1:=COM1
To test the interface, then enter:
CTRL P
C>DIR
CTRL P
The software settings made by the procedures above are temporary. On most comput-
ers, permanent settings must be made with DIP switches.
If you want to use a different baud rate or change any of the other RS-232C parameters,
you can use the printer’s FRPO (firmware reprogram) command. See the Programming
Manual for details.
