1.1. Positioning the Printer

Chapter 1

Installing the Printer

This chapter explains how to unpack and install the printer. The topics covered are:

Positioning the printer Unpacking and inspection Names of parts Setting up and interfacing

1.1. Positioning the Printer

Clearance

Allow at least the necessary minimum clearance around the printer (see below). A total space of 92 cm by 61 cm by 138 cm (36 by 24 by 54 inches) is needed.

30 cm (12 inches)

40 cm (16 inches)

[20 cm (8 inches) when the face-up output tray* is not installed.] * Optional with the FS-1750

60 cm (24 inches)

25 cm (10 inches)

Places to Avoid

Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to:

❒ Direct drafts of hot or cold air ❒ Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near doors leading outside.) ❒ Sudden temperature or humidity changes ❒ Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators ❒ Excessive dust ❒ Vibration ❒ Ammonia or other harmful fumes. (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make liberal use of insec-

ticide, remove the printer first!)

❒ Excessive sunlight or humidity ❒ Lack of ventilation ❒ Low air pressure, e.g., located more than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level

1-1

1.1. Positioning the Printer

Basic requirements

The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:

❒ Near the computer

If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable should be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

❒ Level and well supported

Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer.

❒ Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see section Power Supply on

next page).

Power requirements are:

Voltage

Frequency

Current capacity

The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used.

If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less.

❒ Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry

Temperature

Humidity

If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you may not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.

120 V (U.S.A./Canada), 220 V to 240 V (European countries), ±10 % at each voltage

60 Hz (120 V), ±2 % 50 Hz/60 Hz (220 V to 240 V), ±2 %

FS-1750: Max. 5.8 A at 120 V, or Max. 3 A at 220 V to 240 V FS-3750: Max. 7.8 A at 120 V, or Max. 4 A at 220 V to 240 V

10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)

20% to 80%

1-2

1.2. Unpacking and Inspection

Power Supply

The printer should not be on the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light, copier, or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it must share a power circuit with equipment like this, a high-frequency noise filter or isolation transformer is advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.)

Avoid using plug multipliers to connect a large number of devices on the same circuit as the printer.

If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In places where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator.

As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer’s AC primary circuit, an easily accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment.

If the printer is used with the optional Sorter (SO-6) or Stacker (ST-20), in order to avoid shortcircuiting, it should be ensured that these devices are plugged securely into their respective power outlets.

Da kein Trennschalter in den Wechselstrom-Primärkreis des Druckers eingebaut ist, muß eine leicht zugängliche Steckdose in der Nähe des Gerätes vorhanden sein.

Wenn der Drucker mit dem gesonderten Sorter (SO-6) oder Stapler (ST-20) verwendet wird, muß darauf geachtet werden, daß diese Geräte einwandfrei an separate Steckdosen angeschlossen sind, um Kurzschluß zu vermeiden.

1.2. Unpacking and Inspection

The printer is packed a s shown below. Unpack the printer following d iagrams 1 and 2 on the next page. While unpacking it, check that the listed parts are all accounted for.

Examine the package for any signs of damage that may have been caused during transportation. If the carton is found to be badly damaged, leave the carton unopened and immediately notify the dealer from whom you purchased the printer.

Save the box and other packing materials in case you have to repack the printer for transportation at a later date.

Test that the printer works by printing out a status page as follows.

Switch on the printer's power. The message display should indicate 6HOIý WHVW.

☛ When the printer is first switched on after installation, there will be a delay of several minutes

(approx. 6 to 7 minutes) before the printer gets ready to print. During this period, the message display shows 3OHDVHýZDLW.

Wait until the ON LINE indicator is also lit and the message display indicates 5HDG\.

Press the STATUS key. The printer should print a page listing the positions of margins, memory alloca-

tion, and other information.

A sample status printout is shown in Chapter 2.

11—Test the interface with the computer

Test that the printer and computer are correctly connected. If you have connected the printer and computer with a parallel interface cable, follow the procedure below.

Check that the printer's message display indicatesý5HDG\ and that the ON LINE indicator is ON.

Boot the computer in DOS mode, or set the computer to DOS (prompt) mode.

At the DOS prompt, type the following.

ECHO !R! STAT; EXIT;>PRN

If the printer prints a status page, the computer and printer are connected correctly. For details on the status page, refer to Chapter 2.

If you do not get this result, check that the cable is securely plugged in at both ends, and repeat the test. If you still do not get the right result, you may have a defective or improperly-wired cable. Try using a different cable.

12—Set the emulation mode

The printer emulates the operation of five other printers. It is factory-set to emulate the PCL 6 at power-up. If you primarily use software that supports PCL 6, or that supports the Kyocera printer itself, the factory setting is the one you want. If you primarily use software that supports another printer, it is convenient to change the printer's power-up emulation mode.

The emulation mode can be changed from the printer control panel. To change the emulation mode, refer to the Mode Select Menu diagram on the last page of this manual.

1.5. MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Feeding

The MP tray is incorporated on the front of the printer. It can be used in one of two modes: first mode or cassette mode. The MP tray can hold about 100 sheets of paper (A4 size, 0.1 mm thickness).

If you set a full number of sheets for sizes bigger than A4, it could cause a paper jam. In this case, set a lower number of sheets than the full amount, confirm that there will be no paper jams and then commence printing.

First Mode (Automatic Manual Feeding)

The printer automatically feeds any paper placed on the MP tray even if another paper source is selected. After all paper in the MP tray is printed, paper will be fed from the paper source originally set. (This is the factory set default.)

Cassette Mode

The cassette mode provides faster printing speed than the first mode. Approximately 100 sheets of paper can be continuously fed in this mode.

Duplex Printing from the MP tray

In first mode, be sure to set the MP tray to the same paper size and paper type as set for the current cassette. If the paper size or type differs, a paper jam may result. Also note that it is not possible to select the MP tray as the current cassette and perform duplex printing. We therefore recommend that duplex printing be performed from the paper cassette. An optional duplexer (DU-21) is required to perform duplex printing.

Selecting the MP Tray

Taking hold of the front of the printer as shown in

the figure, open the MP tray by pulling towards you.

Withdraw the sub tray as shown in the diagram.

1.6. Memory Card

A memory card is a microchip card containing, for example, nonresident fonts and/or macros, forms, etc. The printer reads the contents of the card into its internal memory when power is switched on. The presence of this data in the printer memory can be confirmed on the status printout.

☛ The maximum card capacity that can be used is 32 Megabytes. The type of the memory card to be

used must be of either flash memory card (+5V type) or SRAM-type and conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 (JEIDA 4.2) standards. Please use a memory card recommended by Kyocera.

The memory card slot is located at the bottom right of the printer.

To insert and use a memory card:

Switch printer power off.

☛ Do not insert or remove a memory card while power is on. If the memory card is removed while the

printer is on, damage could result in the printer's electronics or the memory card.

Insert the memory card in the slot. Insert it face up,

connector end first. Push it in all the way.

Memory Card Slot [PC CARD (MEMORY)]

Memory Card

Switch printer power on. The printer reads the contents of the memory card during its power-up

sequence. The information (nonresident fonts, etc.) on the memory card is now available for use.

If the memory card information is deleted from the printer's memory during the printing process, it can be reread by using the mode selection function explained on the last page in this manual.

To Remove the Memory Card:

1.7. Memory Expansion Installation

In this section is explained how to expand the printer's memory. Expanded printer memory enables you to print more complex pages, download more fonts, and define more macros.

It begins by explaining how to remove the main circuit board from the printer, and explains how to install a SIMM (single in-line memory module) on the main circuit board.

The FS-1750 comes supplied with 8 MB of memory installed, and likewise the FS-3750 comes with 16 MB of memory supplied. Two slots are provided for expanding the memory in your printer so that more complex printing can be done, as well as increasing the printing speed. By installing the optional memory card into your printer, the memory in the FS-1750 can be increased to a maximum of 72 MB, and the FS-3750 can be increased to a maximum of 64 MB.

☛ ‹ A 16 MB SIMM is installed in one of the SIMM sockets in the FS-3750, so in order to increase the

memory to the maximum 64 MB this SIMM must be changed.

‹ The expansion memory should be installed only by a Kyocera authorized dealer or Kyocera certi-

fied technician. Kyocera shall not be liable for damage due to improper installation of the expansion memory.

The minimum memory requirements for the printer with various options installed are listed in the table below. Please refer to this table when expanding the printer's memory.

2.6. Operating a Memory Card

Hints on Writing Fonts to the Memory Card

Some memory card writer utility programs are available for writing data to the memory card. If you write fonts into a memory card, we recommend you write them as font data and not as host data. Fonts written in a memory card as font data are automatically loaded in the printer when it is switched on and are usable on all the printer interfaces simultaneously. The printer reads only the header part of these fonts into its memory and therefore these fonts do not occupy a large area in the printer's memory.

If you write the fonts in the memory card as host data, the fonts are transferred directly from the memory card into the printer's memory when the card is read. This may require extra memory to be installed in the printer as they usually occupy a great amount of the printer's memory. Moreover, use of the fonts is restricted on only the interface that was active during the fonts were read from the memory card.

To properly write font data into the memory card, refer to the memory card writer manufacture's instructions.

Reading Fonts/Data from a Memory Card

If the memory card is already inserted in the slot when the printer is powered on, the fonts are automatically read into the printer. To reread the fonts from a memory card, use theý !5HDGý IRQWV function.

☛ The PRESCRIBE 2e FRPO I0 command specifies the name of the partition in the memory card to be

read automatically at power up. See PRESCRIBE 2e Programming Manual, Chapter 5.

Writing Data to a Memory Card

A memory card can hold up to 127 data partition names, depending on its capacity. When writing to the card, a name is assigned automatically. You can use the procedure later in this section to print a list of data names for confirmation.

☛ You cannot write font data to a memory card with the printer.

To write data to a memory card, proceed as follows.

First check that the memory card can be writable (that the memory card is properly formatted, not writeprotected, and its internal battery is not exhausted, for example). Otherwise, theý ! :ULWH GDWD message to be explained below will not be shown on the message display.

☛ If the card inserted in the memory card slot is not formatted, theý!)RUPDW option will automati-

cally appear on the display. Refer to Formatting a Memory Card which follows this section and format the memory card.

With the message display showingý!:ULWH GDWD, press the ENTER key. A blinking question mark

will appear as follows:

!:ULWH GDWD "

Press the ENTER key. The message display changes to showý3URFHVVLQJ, then toý:DLWLQJ.If you

want to abandon writing, press the CANCEL key.

In this state, send the file from the computer to the printer as in the example below.

Example:

To send the file (data) TEST.TXT on drive C, enter the following at the DOS prompt (C:\):

COPY TEST.TXT PRN

The file is written onto the memory card given a destination name (also referred to as a partition name) which the printer automatically assigns one after another as follows:

2-15

2.6. Operating a Memory Card

DataS001 (first data), DataS002 (second data), DataS003 (third data), ... DataS127 (last data)

In the example above, if the file TEST.TXT is the first data to be written onto the memory card, the destination name will be DataS001.

By using the PRESCRIBE 2e RWER W (write memory card) command to write data to a memory card, you can change the destination name to be the same as the original name or any other name you desire.

As the printer receives data, the message display changes toý3URFHVVLQJ, then when the end of the data is received, the message display changes toý:DLWLQJ.

4. Check that the message display has changed toý :DLWLQJ, then press the (FORM FEED) key. This

writes the file to the memory card and instructs the printer to automatically print out a memory card write information page as shown below.

Data type. Type of data written (currently only type 2 is supported). Partition (data) name. The destination name of data written to the card. Write data length. The size of the written data on the memory card in bytes. Others. Error information.

When the memory card write information page is printed, the message display returns toý 5HDG\.

If the writing was not completed successfully, an error code appears on the message display. For details, see Section 5.5 Indicators and Messages. If this happens, press the CONTINUE key. The message display returns toý 5HDG\.

5. Repeat above steps until you have transferred all data (files) that you want to write to the memory card.

Each time you finish writing data, a memory card write information page is printed from the printer showing the information explained in step 4 above, but pertaining only to the data just written. To see all data contained in the memory card at once, print a list of data names as explained on the last page of this manual.

Deleting Data from a Memory Card

It is possible to use the printer to delete data from a memory card one by one.

First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write-protected, data exists on the card, and its internal battery is not exhausted). Otherwise, theý!'HOHWH GDWD menu will not be shown on the message display.

2-16

2.6. Operating a Memory Card

Formatting a Memory Card

Formatting allows data to be written to the card. A new memory card must be formatted before it can be used in the printer.

☛ Formatting destroys any existing data on the memory card.

First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write-protected, and its internal battery is not exhausted).

When the formatting operation is successfully completed, the printer automatically prints out a formatting information page as shown below.

Card size. Data size. Remaining size.

The total size of the memory card memory in bytes. The size the printer uses for its system in bytes.

The size remaining in the memory card for storing data in bytes.

Printing a list of data names

The printer prints a list of all data names (referred to as partitions) stored in a memory card for reference. (Printing a list is also available for a font card.)

The printout (example above) includes the following information.

Partition (data) number. Name.

The destination name of the written data as assigned automatically by the printer.

2.13. Resource Protection

When you switch from the HP LaserJet emulation to another, all downloaded fonts and macros are lost. Resource protection preserves these PCL resources in memory so that they are intact when you change the emulation back to PCL 6.

By using the printer's MODE SELECT, you can select from two resource protection modes as follows:

!5HVRXUFH SURWï

3HUPDQHQW

In this mode, the printer stores fonts, macros, symbol sets, etc. in memory that were downloaded as permanent PCL resources. All temporary resources are lost when the emulation mode is changed from PCL 6 to another or vice versa.

!5HVRXUFH SURWï

3HUP î 7HPS

In this mode, the printer stores both permanent and temporary resources when the emulation mode is changed from PCL 6 to another or vice versa.

☛ Resource protection requires extra memory to store the downloaded fonts and macros. The total

size of the printer memory recommended for using the resource protection option is affected by several factors. See section 1.7. Memory Expansion Installation.

2.14. Adjusting the Print Density

If necessary, the print density can be adjusted from the MODE SELECT MENU. Density can be adjusted in five steps fromýí ì (light) toýí è (dark). The factory setting isýí ê , and there is normally no need to alter this setting.

Chapter 3

Fonts

This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer, including the printer's internal fonts.

3.1. Internal Fonts

A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Several characteristics identify a font. These include the code set (For details on the code sets, please read the Programming Manual on the supplied CD-ROM.), spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.

The printer has 80 PCL/PS compatible fonts and a bitmap font for a line printer loaded into it. Also fonts may be downloaded to the printer's memory from a memory card or disk. These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many downloadable fonts as its user available memory permits.

3-1

3.2. List of Fonts

4.1. Toner Kit Replacement

Chapter 4

Maintenance

This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service without the necessity of printer module replacement. However, you must replace the toner container in the printer with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to ensure good print quality, various parts inside the printer must be cleaned at regular intervals.

4.1. Toner Kit Replacement

The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows 7RQHU ORZ 7.ðëí &OHDQ SULQWHU or soon after. If you continue to use the printer, eventually the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the 5HSODFH 7RQHU &OHDQ SULQWHU message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.

Toner kit replacement interval

The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If you print documents with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 10,000** pages (20,000 pages with the TK-20H).

* Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details. ** In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number of pages that can be printed will be 6,000.

Toner Kit to be Used

The toner kit to be used with this printer is the TK-20/TK-20H. It contains the following:

❒ Toner container ❒ Waste toner bottle ❒ Wiper (lint-free) cloth ❒ Grid cleaner ❒ 2 plastic bags (for disposal of the old toner container and waste toner bottle) ❒ Instructions

(The kit supplied with the printer contains only the toner container and waste toner bottle.)

☛

We strongly recommend you use only the original Kyocera toner kit. Use of original Kyocera toner assures the intended long term reliability of the printer.

Supplying Toner

☛

Before proceeding, take note of the following:

‹ Do not leave floppy disks etc. lying around while performing this maintenance procedure. This

procedure tends to raise a little toner dust which can harm magnetic recording media.

‹ Do not attempt to reuse the waste toner remaining in the toner container.

‹ Use only the toner kit exclusively designed for the printer. Use of a toner kit intended for use with

other printer models may damage the printer and void the warranty.

This chapter explains how to handle printer problems which may or may not occur. The procedures are easy to follow. If a problem persists after you have completed the appropriate troubleshooting procedures, call for the assistance of a service person.

5.1. General Guide

If the printer does not print

If nothing is displayed on the message display on the front control panel, then you probably have a power problem. See section 5.2.

If the printing is abnormal

With the printer on-line and ready, press the STATUS key to print a status page. You can also optimize print quality using the KIR test pattern printed at the bottom of the status page. To adjust the print status, see Chapter 2.

❒ If the result is normal, you may have an interface problem. See section 5.3. ❒ If the result is not normal, you have a print quality problem. See section 5.4.

If a maintenance message is displayed on the message display:

❒ See section 5.5. (For a paper jam, see section 5.6.)

If the printer does not print the entire page or indicatesý0HPRU\ RYHUIORZ on its message display, try adding optional memory. To add optional memory, see Chapter 1.

5-1

5.2. Power Problems

☛ The printer power rating must be within the voltage range in your country. If in doubt, consult your

dealer.

If nothing happens when you switch the printer's power on, you have a power problem. The symptoms are a dark control panel, no printing, and no fan sound. Proceed as follows.

Check the power switch.

The on position is marked "|". The off position is marked "O".

Check the power cord.

If the cord is loose at either end, switch power off, plug the power cord in securely, then switch power on again.

Call for the assistance of a service person.

If the above checks do not solve the problem, call for the assistance of a service person.

5.3. Interface Problems

If the printer prints a status page correctly but does not print data from the computer correctly (or at all), there may be an interface problem.

Check the interface (network) cable.

Make sure the cable is plugged in securely at both ends.

Check your file and software.

Try printing a different file, or using a different print command.

Try using a different cable.

Compare the pin assignments listed in Appendix C with the specifications of your cable.

Call for the assistance of a service person.

If the above checks do not solve the problem, call for the assistance of a service person.
