OPERATION GUIDE xvii

• 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 unple a san t. To ma in tain
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.

Other Precautions

Handling of Plastic Bags

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.

Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensu re that

the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily
accessible.

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.

xviii OPERATION GUIDE

Precautions for Use

Cautions when Using the Machine

Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower
vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This
situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they
fall inside.

Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a
danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the
machine.

Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not
place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or
cause any other type of damage.
These types of situations present a dange r of fire or elec t rica l
shock.

WARNING:

Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts
as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the
laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing
blindness.

If the machine becomes excessively hot, sm ok e ap pe a rs fr om
the machine, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal
situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn
the power switch off (O) immediately, be absolutely certain to
remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact your
service representative.

If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into
the machine, turn the power switch off (O) immediately. Next, be
absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the outlet to
avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your
service representative.

Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as
there is a danger of electrical shock.

Always contact your service representative for maintenance or
repair of internal parts.

OPERATION GUIDE xix

CAUTION

Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power
cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire
or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when remo vin g the
power cord from the outlet.)

Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the
machine. If the power cord is d ama ge d, the re is a d ang er of fire
or electrical shock.

If the machine will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O). If it will not be
used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the
power plug from the outlet for safety purpose s during the time the
machine is not in use.

Always hold the designated parts when lifting or moving the
machine.

For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the
outlet when performing cleaning operations.

If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire
or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult
with your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal
parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to
seasons of high humidity. Consult with your servic e
representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the
machine.

Other Precautions

Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to the
machine.

Do not open the upper front cover, turn off the power switch, or pull out the
power plug during copying.

When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.
Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards.

They could be damaged by static electricity.
Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook.
Use shielded interface cables.

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 internal parts need periodic cleaning.

3-2 OPERATION GUIDE

Toner Container Replacement

Frequency of toner container replacement

The life of the toner containers depend s on the amount of toner r equired to
accomplish your printing jobs. Assuming paper of A4 size, an average
toner coverage of apporoximatetly 5% and Eco Prin t mo d e tur n ed off, the
toner container will need replacing apporoximately once every 20,000
pages (FS-4000DN); 15,000 pages (FS-3900DN); 12,000 pages (FS­2000D).

You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner
container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the
status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represen ts how much
toner is left in the toner container.

Starter Toner Container

The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner contain er.
The starter toner container lasts an average of 10,000 pages (FS­4000DN); 7,500 pages (FS-3900DN); 6,000 pages (FS-2000D).

Maintenance

Toner Kits

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

A new toner kit contains the following items:

• Toner Container

• Cleaning cloth

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

• Waste toner box

• Installation Guide

NOTE: Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are

ready to install it in the printer.

Understanding Messages Requesting Toner Container Replacement

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

• When the printer becomes low on toner, the printer displays the
message Toner low 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. 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 3-3.

Replacing the Toner Container

NOTE: During toner container replacement, temporarily put storag e

media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from around
the toner container . Th is is to avoid damaging media by the ma gnetism of
toner.

This section explains how to replace the toner container. When replacing
the toner container, always replace the waste toner box at the same time.
If this box is full, the printer may be damaged or contaminated by the waste
toner that may spill over the box.

NOTE: You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the

replacement. Any data that may be under printing process in the printer
will be deleted if you turn printer power off.

Troubleshooting

General Guidelines

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

Symptom Check Items Corrective Action

Print quality is not good. Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 4-3.
Paper is jammed. Refer to Clearing Paper Jams on page 4-11.
Nothing lights on the operation

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 jam recovery.

• If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,
replace the paper with paper from another ream, flip the paper stack
over, or rotate the paper stack 180 degrees. The printer may have
problems if paper jams recur after the paper was replaced.

• Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after
printing is resumed depends on the location of the paper jam.
