1.6.4 Host Buffer

Host buffer is the shared memory area in the printer’s main memory that

temporarily stores print data sent from the host computer for each

interface. The printer has three host buffers—buffer #1, buffer #2 and

buffer #3—to simultaneously handle the print data on three interfaces. The

way the host buffers receive data can be changed by selecting Host buffer

mode as described below. The size shared for the host buffers can be

adjusted by changing the value for Host buffer size.

When Host buffer mode is set to Fix, buffer #1 only stores data arriving at

the parallel interface; buffer #2 only stores data arriving at the option

interface (if installed); and buffer #3 only stores data arriving at the USB

interface. The default setting is Fix. When Host buffer mode is set to Auto,

the print data arriving from the computer is stored in whichever of the

3.1 Toner Container Replacement

When the printer runs low on toner, the (toner) indicator flashes on the

operator panel. Be sure to promptly replace the toner container and clean

the inside of the printer when this message appears.

If the printer stops printing while the (toner) indicator is lit, replace the

toner container to continue printing.

3.1.1 Toner Container Replacement Interval

Assuming an average toner coverage of 5%, with EcoPrint mode turned off

the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 6,000*

printed pages.

* In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for

the first time, the number of copies that can be printed will be

approximately 3,000.

4.4 Correcting a Paper Jam

This section describes how to remove paper when it jams in the printer.

The printer will stop whenever paper jams in the printer or paper is not fed

from a paper cassette. The printer will go offline and (paper jam)

indicator will light in the operator panel. When a jam occurs, check the

points indicated in the following and clear the jam as indicated.

If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace

with paper from another ream, turn the stack of paper over, or turn the

paper the other way around. Read the information in

Chapter 5

Chapter 5Chapter 5

Chapter 5

. Also, look

for tiny pieces of paper that may have been torn apart 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 recovery.

• Depending on where the jam occurred, the printer may or may not

reprint the jammed page.

5.1 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 also accept a variety of

other types of paper within the limits 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. Using the wrong paper 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 productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free

printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.

5.1.1 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 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 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 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m

5.1.2 Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are

given on the following pages.

Selecting the Right Paper

5-3

5.2 Selecting the Right Paper

Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge,

toner, and heat. In addition, 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 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.

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.

Selecting the Right Paper

5-4

Paper Size

Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in

Table 5.2

Table 5.2Table 5.2

Table 5.2

. 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°.

Table 5.2 Paper Sizes for Paper Feeding

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 feeding 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 standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets

measuring 17 × 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, blurring, and other print quality

problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m

for the paper cassette, and

60 to 163 g/m

for the MP tray.

Selecting the Right Paper

5-5

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 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).

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.

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 environment. 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 problems in the printer. All paper used

in the printer should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity:

Porosity:Porosity:

Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, to how openly

or compactly the fibers are bonded.

Stiffness:

Stiffness:Stiffness:

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:

Curl:Curl:

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.

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:

Electrostatic properties:Electrostatic properties:

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:

Whiteness:Whiteness:

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of

the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control:

Quality control:Quality control:

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.

Packaging:

Packaging:Packaging:

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from

damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable

supplier is usually properly packaged.

5.3 Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

• Transparency (overhead projection 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).

Transparency, label paper, and envelopes should not be placed in the paper

cassette; they must be fed from the MP tray 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 and so forth given off

during 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.

5.3.1 Transparency (overhead projection film)

Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the

printing process. It should satisfy the conditions in

Table 5.3

Table 5.3Table 5.3

Table 5.3

Table 5.3 Transparency Specifications

To avoid trouble, transparency must be delivered face-up.

If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it

leaves the printer.

5.3.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must

never come into contact 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

Table 5.1

Table 5.1 Table 5.1

Table 5.1

on page

5-2

5-2 5-2

5-2

. 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.

Figure 5.1 Adhesive-backed label

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 paper 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 5.4

Table 5.4Table 5.4

Table 5.4 Adhesive Label Specifications

Envelopes

The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to

79 g/m

(16 to 21 lb/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

Paper GrainPaper Grain

Paper Grain

page

5-5

5-5 5-5

5-5

.) 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 that have 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 envelope printing.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper,

listed in

Table 5.1

Table 5.1 Table 5.1

Table 5.1

on page

5-2

5-2 5-2

5-2

. 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 withstand 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.

C.5 RS-232C Cable Connection

C.5.1 Obtain a Suitable RS-232C Cable

Make sure that the RS-232C cable is wired correctly. The cable must be a

null modem cable; that is, one in which pin 2 on either end of the cable is

connected to pin 3 on the other end. You cannot use a straight cable such as

IBM communication adapter cable type 1502067 unless you purchase a

null modem adapter.

C.5.2 Connecting the Printer to the Computer

Check that the power of both the printer and the computer is switched off.

Discharge yourself of static electricity by touching a metal object

such as a doorknob.

Remove the plastic cap from the printer’s RS-232C interface

connector.

Plug the printer end of the RS-232C interface cable into the printer’s

RS-232C connector and screw it in place.

Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s RS-232C interface

connector.

Switch on the printer’s power.

The printer’s RS-232C parameters are factory-set to the following

values:

Baud rate=9600 bps, data bits (character length)=8 bits, stop bits=1,

parity=none

The two RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR. The printer

performs both 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. See section

Cassette mode

This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When

this mode is used, approximately 50 sheets of

plain paper can be fed continuously, the same as

for the cassette.

dpi (dots per inch)

This indicates the number of dots printed per

inch, and is the unit of printer resolution.

EcoPrint

This is a printing mode that controls toner

consumption. Pages printed in the EcoPrint

mode are lighter than pages printed in the

normal mode. The default setting is Off.

Emulation

This refers to emulation of manufacturers’

printers. The printer emulates operation of the

following printers: PCL, Line printer, IBM

Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-850,

KPDL.

Expansion memory

This option is used to increase printer memory.

The printer has one expansion slot, and you can

install a 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB

DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module). Contact

your Kyocera Mita dealer to purchase the DIMM

that is best suited for use with this printer.

Face-up tray

This is located at the rear of the printer. Select

paper output to the face-up tray when printing

on postcards, envelopes, or labels.

First mode

This is an operation mode for the MP tray.

Because the MP tray default setting is set to first

mode (priority printing from 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. First mode is specified

as the factory default, but you can change this

MP tray

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.

Offline

The printer can receive data, but cannot print.

Turn the printer online if you want to print.

Online

The printer can output received data.

Operator panel

This is located on the top right side of the printer.

The panel consists of four indicators and two

keys. The four indicators light, flash, and go off

in combination to indicate the printer’s status.

Press the keys when you want to switch the

printer between online and offline status, or to

cancel printing.

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.

Parallel interface

With this interface, data transfer between the

printer and the computer takes place on 8-bit

chunks. The printer can perform IEEE1284

compatible bi-directional communications.

PRESCRIBE commands

This is the Kyocera Mita page printer control

language installed on Kyocera Mita printers.

PRESCRIBE commands enable most print

settings necessary for pagination, and are easy to

understand because they are written in text

format, allowing you to do programming yourself.

For information on the commands and how to use

them, refer to the

Programming Manual

Programming ManualProgramming Manual

Programming Manual

contained on the CD-ROM supplied with the

printer.

Printer driver

The printer driver makes it possible for you to

print data created using application software.

The printer driver for the printer is contained on

the Kyocera Mita Digital Library CD-ROM

supplied with the printer. Install the printer

driver on the computer connected to the printer.

Process unit

This is the printer’s main module and contains

the photosensitive drum and developer unit.

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 arbitrarily, and use electronic

sorting (to reduce print time).

Remote Operation Panel

This is a utility that displays a virtual printer

operation panel on your computer screen. You

can make various settings from the Remote

Operation Panel, such as the current paper

source and paper size. The Remote Operation

Panel is contained on the Kyocera Mita Digital

Library CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
