General Guidelines 2-2 Selecting the Right Paper 2-4 Paper Type 2-13 Loading Paper 2-14

Handling Paper 2-1

General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.

Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality , and pap er waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the machine’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce highquality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m² (16 to 32 pounds).

Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages.

Item Specification

Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty , torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes.

Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 % of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.

Paper Sizes

Cassettes and the MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. For details, including the paper sizes for the paper feeder (Optional paper feeder PF-500, PF-510) refer to Cassette (1 to 4) Size (Setting the cassette paper size) on page 6-28. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

2-4 Handling Paper

Smoothness

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.

The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120 g/m² (16 and 32 lb/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 and 59 lb/ ream) for the MP tray.

Paper Weight Equivalence Table

The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.

Thickness

The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Handling Paper 2-5

Moisture Content

Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.

The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.

Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6 % .

To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:

• Store paper in a cool, dry location.

• Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper that is not in use.

• Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton to separate it from the floor.

• After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as the machine for 48 hours before use.

• Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.

Note When using coated paper, be aware that the sheets will

stick together in a very humid environment.

Paper Grain

When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber. Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper

jams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is

electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the Output Tray.

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

2-6 Handling Paper

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually correctly packaged.

Note Y ou might see the printer emitting steam in the area around

the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected

Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) VELLUM Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) THICK Colored paper COLOR Recycled paper RECYCLED Overhead projector transparencies TRANSPARENCY Postcards CARDSTOCK Envelopes ENVELOPE Label LABELS Coated paper COATED

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes, postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP tray. For details, refer to Paper Source (Selecting the paper feed source) on page 6-34.

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator .

Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample

on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

Handling Paper 2-7

Transparency

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4).

The table below lists the specifications for transparency:

Item Specification

Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F) Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils) Material Polyester Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°

T o prevent printing problems, feed transparencies into the printer one sheet at a time from the MP tray . Always load the transparencies vertically (with the long edge towards the printer).

If the transparencies have rough edges on the back, it may cause a paper jam. Remove the rough edges, reverse the sides or feed the sheet from the opposite edge.

When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.

2-8 Handling Paper

Labels

Labels must be fed from the MP tray.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.

Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.

Handling Paper 2-9

Postcards

Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.

Envelopes

Slide the envelope switch to envelope mode and print.

IMPORTANT Envelopes cannot be printed in paper mode. When printing plain paper while the envelope mode is selected, the printing speed and quality will lower than in paper mode.

Rough Edge

Envelope Switch

Envelopes should always be fed from the MP tray, with the print-side down.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.

• If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.

• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the top tray.

2-10 Handling Paper

Thick Paper

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Note If the paper jams

even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper , refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.

Recycled Paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness, refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.

Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the

machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

Coated Paper

Coated paper is created by treating the surface of the base paper with a coating that provides higher printing quality than plain paper. Coated paper is used for particularly high quality printing.

The surface of high-quality or medium-quality paper is coated with special agents that improve ink coverage by making the paper surface smoother. These agents are used either to coat both sides of the paper or just one side. The coated side appears slightly glossy.

IMPORTANT When printing on coated paper in very humid environments, ensure that the paper is kept dry as moisture may cause sheets to stick together when they are fed into the printer.

Handling Paper 2-11

Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510)

If you are going to load non standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-510, cut out the blank section of the attached paper type indicator sheet, fold the remaining sheet in half and insert it into the cassette's display folder so that the paper type symbol is displayed.

General Information 4-2 Toner Container Replacement 4-2 Replacing the Waste Toner Box 4-6 Cleaning the Printer 4-8

Maintenance 4-1

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 following parts need periodic cleaning:

• Paper Transfer Unit

Note Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory

chip attached to the toner container is designed to improve convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new product planning and development. The information gathered is anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and the data is intended to be used anonymously.

Toner Container Replacement

The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows Toner low 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 Replace toner C,M,Y,K message will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.

Frequency of Toner Container Replacement

The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your printing jobs. According to ISO/IEC 19798 and EcoPrint switched off the toner container can print as follows (A4/Letter paper is assumed):

FS-C5100DN

Toner Color Life of the Toner Container (Printable pages)

Black 5,000 images Cyan 4,000 images Magenta 4,000 images Yellow 4,000 images

FS-C5200DN

Toner Color Life of the Toner Container (Printable pages)

Black 7,000 images Cyan 6,000 images Magenta 6,000 images Yellow 6,000 images

4-2 Maintenance

FS-C5300DN

Toner Color Life of the Toner Container (Printable pages)

Black 12,000 images Cyan 10,000 images Magenta 10,000 images Yellow 10,000 images

Note The toner containers packed with the new printer are

starter toner containers. The starter toner container prints up to 50 % of the printer's capacity before running out (For example: FS-C5200DN can print 3,500 monochrome images using the black starter toner container).

Toner Kits

For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera Parts and Supplies. Should any damage be caused by the application of a toner other than the original Kyocera Mita toner, then this damage is excluded from the guarantee.

The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:

• Toner Container

• 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 for individual colors at two stages of toner usage. This message is automatically alternated with the other printer message (such as Ready):

• When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan container , the printer displays the message Toner low C 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. Clean the separate charger wires, etc. 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 3-2.

Maintenance 4-3

Replacing the Toner Container

This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When replacing the toner container of any color, 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.

CAUTION Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner Container. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.

IMPORT ANT During toner contain er replacement, tem porarily move storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from the toner container. This is to avoid damaging media by the magnetism of toner.

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 contai ner for an othe r destin ation s is installed, the printer will stop printing.

Note You do not have to turn printer power off before st arting the

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

Top Cover (Top Tray)

To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner container requiring replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you are replacing the yellow toner container.

If a problem cannot be corrected, contact your service technician.

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.

Symptom Check Items Corrective Action

Print quality is not good. Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 5-3. Paper is jammed. Refer to Clearing Paper Jams on page 5-12. 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 does not print jobs from the computer.

The printer is emitting steam in the area around the top tray.

Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the power outlet.

Check that the power switch is in the On (|) position.

Check the printer cable or the interface cable.

Check program files and application software.

Check the room temperature to see if it is low, or if damp paper was used.

Turn off the printer’s power, plug in the power cord securely , and try turning on the printer’s power again.

Set the power switch to the On position.

Connect both ends of the printer cable securely. Try replacing the printer cable or the interface cable.

Try printing another file or using another print command. If the problem occurs only with a specific file or application, check the printer driver settings for that application.

Depending on the printing environment and the paper's condition, the heat generated during printing will cause the moisture in the paper to evaporate, and the steam emitted may look like smoke. This is not a problem, and you can continue printing. If the steam concerns you, raise the room temperature, or replace the paper with a newer, dryer paper.

Tips

Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have encountered a problem that following the above guidelines will not solve, try the following:

• Turn the printer power off and wait for several seconds. Then, turn on the printer.

• Reboot the computer which sends the 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 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 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.
