This product has been developed and manufactured with the express interest of reducing the impact on the environment.

Using Kyocera's innovative cartridge free technology, Kyocera has created an advanced printing system that does not require the wasteful replacement and disposal of a cartridge.

Introduction

The Kyocera laser printer has many extremely desirable features. It was designed to make a contribution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer technology.

Superb print quality

The latest technology from Kyocera such as KIR 2 (Kyocera Image Refinement 2) function, this laser printer delivers superb print quality and clarity.

Long life modules

The main modules in this laser printer such as the drum, developer unit, and fuser unit, which are disposable in conventional printers, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need no periodic replacement. The only maintenance regularly needed therefore is to replenish the toner supply in the developer approximately every 3,000 printed pages (A4 at a toner ceverage of approximately 5%) and to clean some parts inside the printer.

Environmentally benign waste parts

Introduction

The toner container is made out of a benign, flammable material. (Be sure to dispose of containers according to local laws and regulations.)

Bitmap and scalable typefaces

In addition to its 80 bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that are equivalent to HP LaserJet fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to 999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.

Introduction

A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE IIe

PRESCRIBE IIe provides features including advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills, gray-scale shading, a user-accessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print directions within the same page.

PDF417 two-dimensional bar code

The printer includes the capability that allows the user to implement the two-dimensional stacked bar code symbology, PDF417, or Portable Data File 417. This expanded functionality is achieved by using the PRESCRIBE IIe language commands.

Automatic rotation of fonts and graphics

Images and scalable fonts are automatically rotated to match the page orientation.

A wide variety of internal symbol sets

The printer supports most HP LaserJet 5P compatible symbol sets for both bitmap and scalable fonts.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliance

Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer

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

insecticide, 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.

Basic requirements

1- 2

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).

Chapter 1 Installing the Page Printer

• 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.)

• Only use this printer under the voltage listed on the serial number label attached to the rear

panel of the printer.

Power requirements are:

Voltage 120 V (U.S.A.), 230 V (European countries, Australia)

±10% at each voltage

Frequency 60 Hz (120 V), ±2%

50/60 Hz (230 V), ±2%

Current capacity Max. 4.3 A at 120 V, or Max. 2.1 A at 230 V

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 too damp or dry

Temperature 10°C to 32.5°C, ideally about 23°C (50°F to 90.5°F, ideally about 73.4°F) Humidity 20% to 80%, ideally 65%

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.

1- 3

Environmental Requirements of the Page Printer

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.

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