This Guide’s Role

This Quick Configuration Guide provides concise software configuration instructions allowing an experienced system administrator to get the 3000E up and running quickly. For more complete instructions or for printing or configuration options not covered in this guide, please refer to the 3000E User’s Manual on the CD ROM.

Using the CD ROM

The CD ROM packaged with the 3000E includes all installation and configuration utilities, as well as the 3000E User’s Manual and this guide in .PDF format. Quick access to the utilities and documentation is provided by the CONTENTS.PDF file. This file and all other documentation on the CD ROM are in Adobe Acrobat .PDF format and cannot be read without Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or later. (Note: The utilities may also be installed without using CONTENTS .PDF by navigating the CD ROM to the appropriate setup file.)

On Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 systems, inserting the CD ROM will auto-load a screen with options to install Acrobat Reader or to display CONTENTS.PDF. The user will be prompted to install Acrobat Reader if it is not detected on the system.

On other systems, Acrobat Reader may be installed manually from the CD ROM. Windows NT 3.51: From the Program Manager File menu, select Run and type: D:\acroread\win\rdr_srch\32bit\setup.exe

Windows 3.1, 3.11: Same as NT 3.51, but type: D:\acroread\win\rdr_srch\16bit\setup.exe Macintosh: Run the Reader 3.01 Installer in the Acroread, Mac, Reader + Search, Reader folder. It is also very useful to install the search capability from the Search folder. UNIX: See instguid.txt in the acroread/unix/rdr_search directory on the CD ROM.

Once Acrobat Reader is installed, launch the Contents.PDF file on the CD ROM.

EcoLAN 3000E Hardware Installation

The 3000E is a new slide-in interface board which does not require the removal of the printer’s main board for installation. These instructions describe the installation into the FS-800 but are similar for any Kyocera printer with the slide-in interface.

1. Remove the two screws securing the interface slot cover on the rear panel (shown) or side panel (not shown) of the printer and discard the interface slot cover.

2. Align the edges of the 3000E board with the rails in the interface slot and slide the 3000E into the printer. Secure with the two screws removed in Step 1.
