Disclaimer

KYOCERA Document Solutions will not be liable to customers or any other person or entity for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by equipment sold or furnished by us, including but not limited to, any interruption of service, loss of business or anticipatory profits, or consequential damages resulting from the use or operation of the equipment or software.

Energy Saving Control Function

The device comes equipped with a Low Power Mode where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used, as well as a Sleep where printer functions remain in a waiting state but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within a set amount of time.

Low Power Mode

The device automatically enters Low Power Mode when 1 minute has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Low Power Mode is activated may be lengthened. For more information refer to Low Power Timer (Low Power Mode timer timeout time) section of the Advanced Operation Guide.

Sleep

The device automatically enters Sleep when 15 minutes have passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated may be lengthened. For more information, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep timer timeout setting) section of the Advanced Operation Guide.

Automatic 2-Sided Print Function

This device includes 2-sided printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two 1-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a 2-sided print, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to Duplex (Duplex Printing) section of the Advanced Operation Guide.

Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that machines capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.

Resource Saving - Paper

For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002

or an equivalent quality standard, be used.

This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m² paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to further saving of forest resources.

2-2 Handling Paper

General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality , and pap er waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.

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 machine. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the p aper 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 machine’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce highquality 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 60 to 120 g/m² (16 to 32 pounds).

Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages.

Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

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 and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. 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.

Paper Sizes

Cassettes and the MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. For details, including the paper sizes for the paper feeder (Optional paper feeder PF-500, PF-510) refer to Cassette (1 to 4) Size (Setting the cassette paper size) on page 6-31. 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°.

Handling Paper 2-5

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 can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.

The recommended basis weight is: Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m

MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m

PF-500 (optional): 60 to 120 g/m

PF-510 (optional): 60 to 220 g/m

2-6 Handling Paper

Thickness

The paper used with the machine 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 correct 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, feed ability, 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 jams and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6 %.

To ensure correct 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. Re-wrap 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 machine 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 machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber. Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper

jams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. Electrostatic discharge: 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.

Note

When using coated paper, be aware that the sheets will

stick together in a very humid environment.

Handling Paper 2-7

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 machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

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 correctly packaged.

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes, postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP tray. For details, refer to Paper Source (Selecting the paper feed source) on page 6-37.

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 .

Note

Y ou might see the printer emitting steam in the area around the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.

Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected

Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) VELLUM Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) THICK Colored paper COLOR Recycled paper RECYCLED Overhead projector transparencies TRANSPARENCY Postcards CARDSTOCK Envelopes ENVELOPE Label LABELS Coated paper COATED

Note

Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

2-8 Handling Paper

Transparency

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4).

The table below lists the specifications for transparency:

T o prevent printing problems, feed transparencies into the printer one sheet at a time from the MP tray . Always load the transparencies vertically (with the long edge towards the printer).

If the transparencies have rough edges on the back, it may cause a paper jam. Remove the rough edges, reverse the sides or feed the sheet from the opposite edge.

When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.

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) Material Polyester Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°

Handling Paper 2-9

Labels

Labels must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-510.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. 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 used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable 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.

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Item Specification

Weight of top sheet 44 to 74 g/m² (12 to 20 lb/ream) Composite weight 104 to 151 g/m² (28 to 40 lb/ream) Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils) Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils) Moisture content 4 to 6 % (composite)

2-10 Handling Paper

Postcards

Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.

Envelopes

Slide the envelope switch to envelope mode and print.

IMPORTANT Envelopes cannot be printed in paper mode. When printing plain paper while the envelope mode is selected, the printing speed and quality will lower than in paper mode.

Envelopes should always be fed from the MP tray, with the print-side down. If you use envelopes quite often, we recommend to use optional paper feeder PF-510.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.

• If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.

• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the top tray.

Handling Paper 2-11

Thick Paper

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. 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 satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper , refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. 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.

Recycled Paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness, refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.

Coated Paper

Coated paper is created by treating the surface of the base paper with a coating that provides higher printing quality than plain paper. Coated paper is used for particularly high quality printing.

The surface of high-quality or medium-quality paper is coated with special agents that improve ink adhesion by making the paper surface smoother. These agents are used either to coat both sides of the paper or just one side. The coated side appears slightly glossy.

Note

If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.

If you use thick paper quite often, we recommend to use optional paper feeder PF-510.

Note

If you use colored paper quite often, we recommend to use optional paper feeder PF-510.

Note

Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the

machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

2-12 Handling Paper

IMPORTANT When printing on coated paper in very humid environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture may cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the printer.

Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510)

If you are going to load non standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-510, cut out the blank section of the attached paper type indicator sheet, fold the remaining sheet in half and insert it into the cassette's display folder so that the paper type symbol is displayed.

4-2 Maintenance

General Information

This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform on the printer. You can replace the following component according to the printer’s display:

• Toner Kits

• Waste Toner Box

Also, the following parts need periodic cleaning:

• Paper Transfer Unit

To ner Container Replacement

The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows Toner low or soon after. If you con tinue to use the printer, eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the Replace toner C,M,Y,K message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.

Frequency of Toner Container Replacement

The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. According to ISO/IEC 19798 and EcoPrint switched off the toner container can print as follows (A4/Letter paper is assumed):

Toner Kits

For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera Parts and Supplies.

The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:

• Toner Container

• Plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner box

Note

Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory chip attached to the toner container is designed to improve convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new product planning and development. The information gathered is anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and the data is intended to be used anonymously.

Toner Color Life of the Toner Container (Printable pages)

Black 12,000 images Cyan 10,000 images Magenta 10,000 images Yellow 10,000 images

Note

The toner container packed with the new printer has to fill up the system when operating the first time. Therefore only 50% of the first toner kits can be used for printing. (For example: ECOSYS P6030cdn can print 6,000 Black & White images using the black starter toner container).

Maintenance 4-3

• Waste Toner Box

• Installation Guide

Understanding Messages Requesting Toner Container Replacement

The printer displays messages for individual colors at two stages of toner usage. This message is automatically alternated with the other printer message (such as Ready):

• When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan container, the printer displays the message Toner low C as the first caution. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.

• If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer displays the message Replace toner — just before the toner is used up. The toner container must be replaced immediately. Clean the separate charger wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, however, the message does not automatically change to Ready. To restart printing, you must press [GO] and make the printer ready.

In either case, replace the toner container, refer to Toner Container Replacement on page 4-2.

Note

Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you

are ready to install it in the printer.

If a problem cannot be corrected, contact your service technician.

5-2 Troubleshooting

General Guidelines

The table below provides basic solutions for problems you may encounter with the printer. We suggest you consult this table to troubleshoot the problems before calling for service.

Tips

Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have encountered a problem that following the above guidelines will not solve, try the following:

• Turn the printer power off and wait for several seconds. Then, turn on the printer.

• Reboot the computer which sends the print jobs to the printer.

• Obtain and use the latest version of the printer driver. The latest versions of printer drivers and utilities are available at: http://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.com.

• Make sure that the procedures for printing are correctly followed in the application software. Consult the documentation supplied with the application software.

Symptom Check Items Corrective Action

Print quality is not good. Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 5-3. Paper is jammed. Refer to Clearing Paper Jams on page 5-11. Nothing lights on the operation panel

even when power is turned on and the fan makes no noise.

Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the power outlet.

Turn off the printer’s power, plug in the power cord securely , and try turning on the printer’s power again.

Check that the power switch is in the On (|) position.

Set the power switch to the On position.

The printer prints a status page, but does not print jobs from the computer.

Check the printer cable or the interface cable.

Connect both ends of the printer cable securely. Try replacing the printer cable or the interface cable.

Check program files and application software.

Try printing another file or using another print command. If the problem occurs only with a specific file or application, check the printer driver settings for that application.

The printer is emitting steam in the area around the top tray.

Check the room temperature to see if it is low, or if damp paper was used.

Depending on the printing environment and the paper's condition, the heat generated during printing will cause the moisture in the paper to evaporate, and the steam emitted may look like smoke. This is not a problem, and you can continue printing. If the steam concerns you, raise the room temperature, or replace the paper with a newer, dryer paper.
