STEP

Positioning the Printer

Make sure that the place of installation meets the following requirements:

2

Clearance

30 cm (11-13/16 inches)

30 cm
(11-13/16
inches)

60 cm
(23-5/8
inches)

20 cm (7-7/8 inches)
[40 cm (15-3/4 inches) when the option
face-up output tray is installed]

Be sure to secure enough space
around the printer. Prolonged
use without sufficient clearance

25 cm
(9-7/8
inches)

may cause heat to build up
within the printer, resulting in
fire.

Environment

Te m pe r a t u re

Humidity

Do not install the printer where temperature or humidity is outside the rec­ommended range. Print quality may suffer and there will be an increased
chance of paper jams.

10 to 32.5 °C (50 to 90.5 °F), ideally about 23 °C (73.4 °F)

20 to 80 %, ideally 60 %

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 building entrances.)

• Sudden temperature or humidity changes

• Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators

•Excessive dust

•Vibration

• Unstable surfaces and surfaces that are not level

• Ammonia or other harmful fumes (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or
make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!)

• Excessive sunlight or humidity

• Lack of ventilation

• Low air pressure, e.g., elevations greater than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above
sea level

the printer alone.

• Only use this printer with the supply voltage indicated on the serial number
label attached to the printer’s rear panel.

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

Adding Paper to the Paper Cassette and MP
Tray

7

The paper cassette can accommodate A5 to A4/Letter size paper and can hold
approximately 500 sheets. The MP (Multi Purpose) tray can accommodate the vari­ous paper sizes and can hold approximately 100 sheets of paper.

Paper sizes that are not standard sizes (custom sizes) but within the size limita­tions can also be loaded into the cassette. When loading custom sizes into the cas­sette, the size must be input into the printer on the operator panel (Refer to the
Operation Guide [PDF file] provided on the Kyocera Mita Digital Library CD-
ROM). Standard size paper settings are indicated as fixed positions in the cas­sette.

A paper cassette (PC-60LG) that can accommodate A5 to A4/Letter and Legal size
paper is optionally available.

The following paper weights can be used with the printer.

Paper source Paper weight

Paper cassette 60 to 105 g/m²

MP tray 60 to 200 g/m²

The edges of paper are sharp. When loading paper, be careful not to cut
your hand on the paper.

If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, for example, if the
paper is already printed on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite
direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.

Prolonged Non-Use and Moving the Printer

! Prolonged Non-use

If you ever leave the printer unused for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the wall outlet.
We recommend you consult with your dealer about the additional actions you should take to avoid possible dam-

ages that may occur when the printer is used next time.

! Moving the Printer

When you move the printer:

• Move it gently.

• Keep it as level as possible, to avoid spilling toner inside the printer as

shown in the figure.

• The handhold on the right side of the printer doubles as the memory

card slot. Be sure to remove the memory card first, if inserted, before
lifting or moving the printer.

• Be sure to remove all the option units such as the sorter and duplexer

before moving the printer.

If you need to move the printer to another location, remove the toner container, waste toner bottle, and developer
unit. The procedure for removing these is as follows:

1 Remove the toner container and waste toner bottle from the printer. Put the toner container into

the plastic bag in which it was supplie d to prevent spilling of toner. Close the cap of the waste toner
bottle tightly.

2 Disconnect the connector of the developer unit from the printer and while pulling the developer

unit release lever, remove the developer unit from the printer (1). Close the protect cover on the
developer unit (2) and put the developer unit into the supplied plastic bag (3).

(1) Remove the developer unit. (2) Close the protect cover. (3) Put the developer unit.

IBM PROGRAM LICENSE AGREEMENT

THE DEVICE YOU HAVE PURCHASED CONTAINS ONE OR MORE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ("PRO­GRAMS") WHICH BELONG TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION ("IBM"). THIS
DOCUMENT DEFINES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS BEING
LICENSED TO YOU BY IBM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS
LICENSE, THEN WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER YOUR ACQUISITION OF THE DEVICE YOU MAY RETURN
THE DEVICE FOR A FULL REFUND. IF YOU DO NOT SO RETURN THE DEVICE WITHIN THE 14 DAYS,
THEN YOU WILL BE ASSUMED TO HAVE AGREED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

The Programs are licensed not sold. IBM, or the applicable IBM country organization, grants you a license for
the Programs only in the country where you acquired the Programs. You obtain no rights other than those
granted you under this license.

The term "Programs" means the original and all whole or partial copies of it, including modified copies or por­tions merged into other programs. IBM retains title to the Programs. IBM owns, or has licensed from the owner,
copyrights in the Programs.

1. License

Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the device on which they are installed and transfer pos­session of the Programs and the device to another party.

If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this license and any other documentation to the other
party. Your license is then terminated. The other party agrees to these terms and conditions by its first use of
the Program.

You may not:

1) use, copy, modify, merge, or transfer copies of the Program except as provided in this license;

2) reverse assemble or reverse compile the Program; or

3) sublicense, rent, lease, or assign the Program.

2. Limited Warranty

The Programs are provided "AS IS."
THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES COVERING THE PROGRAMS (OR CONDITIONS), EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

3. Limitation of Remedies

IBM's entire liability under this license is the following;

1) For any claim (including fundamental breach), in any form, related in any way to this license, IBM's liability

will be for actual damages only and will be limited to the greater of:

a) the equivalent of U.S.$25,000 in your local currency; or
b) IBM's then generally available license fee for the Program

This limitation will not apply to claims for bodily injury or damages to real or tangible personal property for
which IBM is legally liable.

27

IFS18+EE.book Page 28 Thursday, August 9, 2001 3:38 PM

IBM will not be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, or any incidental damages or other economic consequen­tial damages, even if IBM, or its authorized supplier, has been advised of the possibility of such damages. IBM
will not be liable for any damages claimed by you based on any third party claim. This limitation of remedies
also applies to any developer of Programs supplied to IBM. IBM's and the developer's limitations of remedies
are not cumulative. Such developer is an intended beneficiary of this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow
these limitations or exclusions, so they may not apply to you.

4. General

You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may terminate your license if you fail to comply with the terms
and conditions of this license. In either event, you must destroy all your copies of the Program. You are respon­sible for payment of any taxes, including personal property taxes, resulting from this license. Neither party may
bring an action, regardless of form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If you acquired the Pro­gram in the United States, this license is governed by the laws of the State of New York. If you acquired the
Program in Canada, this license is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario. Otherwise, this license is
governed by the laws of the country in which you acquired the Program.

Be sure to turn off printer power before connecting or disconnecting an interface cable to the printer. For pro­tection against static discharge which may be applied to the printer's internal electronics through the interface
connector(s), keep any interface connector which is not in use capped using the protective cap supplied.
