This Guide’s Role
This Quick Configuration Guide provides concise software configuration instructions
allowing an experienced system administrator to get the 2000E up and running quickly.
For more complete instructions or for printing or configuration options not covered in this
guide, please refer to the 2000E User’s Manual on the CD ROM.
Using the CD ROM
The CD ROM packaged with the 2000E includes all installation and configuration utilities,
as well as the 2000E 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 the 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 the Acrobat Reader or to display CONTENTS.PDF . The user will be
prompted to install the Acrobat Reader if it is not detected on the system.
On other systems, the 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 the Acrobat Reader is installed, launch the Contents.PDF file on the CD ROM.

EcoLAN 2000E Hardware Installation
The 2000E 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-600 but would be similarly applicable to any Kyocera printer with the slide-in interface.
1. Remove the two screws securing the interface slot cover on the rear panel of the
printer and discard the interface slot cover.
2. Align the edges of the 2000E board with the rails in the interface slot and slide the
2000E into the printer. Secure with the two screws removed in Step 1.
