Environment
Caution
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine.
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated out of the printer.
Other Precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity: around 60 % RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the machine.
Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
Avoid locations with vibrations.
Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

Power Supply/Grounding the Machine
Warning
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service representative.
Other precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine. The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure
that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Handling of plastic bags
Warning
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing suffocation.

IMPORTANT Kyocera Mita Corporation is not liable against any damages or problems arising from the use of toner containers other than those designated as original Kyocera toner containers. For optimum performance, it is also recommended to use only the Kyocera toner containers which are specifically intended for use in your country or region. If the toner container for another destinations is installed, the printer will stop printing.
Note You do not have to turn printer power off before starting
the replacement. Any data that may be processing in the printer will be deleted if you turn the printer power off

Troubleshooting 5-1

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 repairs.
Symptom Check Items Corrective Actions
Print quality is poor. Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 5-3.
Text is missing on the Windows test page.
Paper is jammed. Refer to Clearing Paper Jams on page 5-10.
Nothing lights on the operation panel even when power is turned on and the fan makes no noise.
The printer prints a status page but data from the computer is not being printed.
Vapor is emitted near the top tray.
This is a problem specific to the Windows OS. It is
not a printer problem. It does not affect print quality.
Check the power cord is property plugged into power outlet.
Check the power switch is in the On ( | ) position.
Check program files and application software.
Check the interface cable. Connect both ends of the interface cable securely.
Check if the temperature is low near the location of the printer, or if the paper that is being used has been exposed to humidity.
Connect both ends of the power cord securely. Try replacing the power cord. Refer to Installation Guide for more information.
Refer to the Installation Guide for more information.
Try printing another file or using another print command. If the problem occurs with a specific file or application, check the printer settings for that application.
Try replacing the printer cable. Refer to the Installation Guide for more information.
Depending on the operating environment of the printer and the condition of the paper, heat generated during printing can evaporate water moisture in the printed paper, emitting vapor from the printer. In this case, printing can be continued without any problem.
To correct this, increase the temperature in the room, and use paper that has been stored in a dry place.

Tips

Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have encountered a problem that cannot be solved following the guidelines above, try the following:
Restart the computer you are using to send 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.kyoceramita.com/download/.
Make sure that the procedures for printing are correctly followed in the application software. Consult the documentation supplied with the application software.

General Considerations for Clearing Jams

Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting paper jam removal:
CAUTION 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 paper jam recovery.
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,
replace the paper with paper from another ream, or flip the paper stack over. The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after the paper is replaced.
Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after
printing is resumed, depends on the location of the paper jam.
