䋱䋩 Reducing the cost of service

In order to increase the reliability of our systems, we are utilizing long-lasting parts which decrease the
operating costs for both the user and the maintenance costs for the dealers, by reducing the down time of the
systems and the labor costs of technicians. The use of unit maintenance kits will reduce the time needed for
maintenance to be completed when it is required. As a result, marketing this product to current and new
dealers should be easier, since the dealer profit will increase, strengthening current partnerships between
dealers and Kyocera Mita and enabling us to gain new dealers who are marketing competitors' products.

a) By using an A-Si drum and other long-lasting parts, the maintenance cycle will be 4 to 5 times longer than
before. The scheduled maintenance will be done only once during the machine life.

b) Since maintenance parts will be replaced as units, the time of maintenance is shortened to 20 minutes,
which is one third of the previous time. Also, maintenance processes have been simplified for any service
rep to perform easily, so we can maintain consistent quality in the market. Customers will benefit a great
deal, since their s

r

Kyocera Printer Dealers will be able to market this product as a MFP and can sell them with printers for
combined sales. As a result, we are expecting to have a great expansion of sales through many current and
new sales channels.. The reasons for this are:
a) Since our printers and MFP Driver, controller, NIC, KM-Net viewer, etc. are the same, Network Managers
will be able to control their network settings using a unified system, reducing the time and energy needed
for management tasks..
b) For end users, the driver and error messages are the same, ensuring a familiar user-friendly operation.
c) Because Fonts & Emulations are the same, it is possible to have a same print output from both Kyoceramita
MFPs & Printers.
d) Since the HDD and the Bar Code Reader are compatible, eMPS function
are realized in the same way as Kyocera mita Printers.

Immediate Re-Output: The Bar Code Document Management Function.

When a sudden meeting is called and there is no time to re-spool and print a document, and the user is
worried about the copy quality...Then the Bar Code document management function of the Ecosys
printer is very useful in this case. The data will be linked with the bar code and saved into the HDD.
Just scan the bar code, which is printed with the original document, with the bar code reader, so that it
will be able to re-printed easily without starting a PC and re-sending the data. Of course, it is possible
to choose to print all pages or specified pages only. If the bar codes of the documents which are used
often are listed and readily available, it will be easy for users to print out their stored document
whenever needed quickly and easily. It is very convenient to print out the letters or proposals which
are the fixed form document.

4） High Productivit

y

a) With a first copy speed of less than 3.9 seconds, even one copy is fast & convenient.
Realized because of the short paper path and inner exit tray design.
This is the fastest first copy speed in its class compared with competitors.
b) Stackless duplexing mechanism improves productivity. Duplexing productivity 90% [KM-2530] / 84%
[KM-3530]
High Duplexing productivity nearly as fast as single-sided copying increases the customer's
productivity while reducing energy consumption and TCO.
c) The original scanning speed for the RADF and ADF is performed at 100% speed, the same speed as
the print speed.
This will enable users to get the first page out from the exit tray at the same time as the document is
finished feeding..
d) The 3000 sheet Finisher staples and hole punches at 100% copy speed. Additionally, the Booklet Finisher
(Saddle Stitcher) output speed will not be reduced too when RU-1 is installed.
e) A large paper supply of a Maximum 4200 sheets is possible when the optional 3000 sheet paper feeding
deck is installed.
This is recommended for high volume copy and print users.
f) This system comes with a 200 sheet built-in internal bypass which can be used like an additional cassette.
This bypass unit comes equipped with auto paper size sensors and it is possible for 200 sheets to be fed
continuously in the same way as a normal cassette. Up to A4 Landscape Size paper can be stored inside
the machine allowing three paper sources for the standard configuration.

5） Environmental Friendly Design

a) Because of our new single component toner design, there is no need to dispose of developer.
b) Due to the longer lasting parts, there are fewer replacement parts and waste created by the parts being
replaced.
c) Kyocera Mita's environmentally friendly product designs, especially the long life of our drums and toner,
has earned us the Eco Mark and Blue Angel Environmental Awards (Under evaluation).
d) We use only bio-degradable, recyclable cardboard packing materials for our products to reduce waste.

a) 3 Different types of finishers are available to match the customer's requirements.

・A built-in type finisher which saves space & requires no special attachment kit.
　　・A Multi-functional finisher with which booklet stitching, multi-stapling, center folding, and punching can

be done.
　　・A High productivity finisher with which 3000 sheets stacking, punching, and multi-stapling can be done.
b) The RADF can hold a maximum set size of 100 originals at once, which is the largest capacity in its class.
As a result, large sets of originals do not need to be divided in order to scan once and copy many.
c) The optional duplex unit is an internally integrated system, like the Vi230/Vi310, greatly
reducing space, unlike many competitors with internal exit trays.　Another advantage of this unique design
is the fact that the user's paper supply is not reduced by a duplex unit that usually takes the place of a paper
feeding cassette.
d) Two types of optional paper feeders are available.　The 3000 sheet deck for high copy and print volume
customers and the 500 x 2 drawers for customers who wish to have access to various types of paper media
online.

7䋩 Printing System (N)

a) Print Data ripping time is fast, since a high performance PowerPC 750CX 350 MHz CPU is used.

䇭䇭䊶KM-4230/5230 : PowerPC603e 166MHz

b) By utilizing Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR2) smoothing, beautiful image quality (2400 x 600 dpi ) is
produced.
c) 32MB of RAM is standard, ensuring that large print data files will be processed by 䋱䌒䌉䌐.

䇭 A HDD will not be needed, since the RAM can be upgraded to 256MB.

8䋩 Scanner Function [Print/Scan System (N)]

a) The Wide TSI panel makes Scan operation easy and similar to using a Fax. Additionally,
multiple originals can be scanned automatically, unlike flat-bed scanners selling in the market now, which
only allow single-sheet scanning. Because of the SRDF-2, both duplex and single-sided originals can be
scanned automatically as one image file.
b) The Print/Scan System offers a high performance original scanning speed equal to the copy speeds: KM­2530 =
25 sheets/min.䇮KM-3530 = 35 sheets/min @ 600 dpi.
c) Network traffic will be reduced, since scanned data will be compressed by the scanning system internally..
d) Compressed data is sent directly to an SMTP server by attaching the data to an E-Mail message.
Therefore, Scanner Delivery Utility software is not necessary, and does not need to be installed in a PC
Server.
e) Compared with former scanner products, distribution capabilities have been expanded and improved.
Broadcast functionality is possible, using Scan to PC, as scanned data can be sent to multiple PC folders
simultaneously.
A PopUp Message will also be displayed at client PCs that receive scanned data files.
f) Special "Address Book" software will also be included with the scanning system, to enable users to
organize destinations which frequently receive scanned data. Scan to E-Mail Destinations that are
registered at a PC will be displayed at the TSI Operation Panel for easy selection when scanning. It is also
possible to import E-Mail address information from E-Mail Programs such as Outlook Express or from
other lists using the C䌓䌖 file format (eg. Excel).
