About this Operation Guide
This Operation Guide is included with your Printing System (P) and should be read in combination with the Operation Guide <Set-Up
Edition> for that product.
This Operation Guide contains information on making settings in your printer, as well as on installing and setting the printing properties for the corresponding Printer Drivers.
The explanations in this Operation Guide were written with the assumption that the user has a basic understanding of how to work in
Microsoft Windows. For further information on using Windows, refer to your Microsoft Windows manual.
NOTE:
This Operation Guide contains information that corresponds to using both the inch and metric versions of this printer. When the difference in a
message is only one of upper- and lower-case spelling, we have listed the information as it specifically pertains to the inch version of this machine.
When there is even a slight difference in the message, we have listed the information for the inch version followed, in brackets, by the corresponding
information for the metric version.

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

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

1. Features of the Printer
1. Printer Settings (15 ppm copier)
This printer comes equipped with the following features.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
A smoothing function exclusive to Kyocera. This function uses software to increase the resolution of the printer and ensure high-quality printing. The
factory default setting for this function is “ON”. (This function is available for black and white printing only.)
High-Speed Printing
The printing speed can reach up to 30 pages per minute (11" x 8 1/2" [A4]) for black and white printing and up to 8 pages per minute (11" x 8 1/2" [A4])
for full color printing. (These speeds are applicable when making multiple copies of the same document. Actual printing speed will differ depending
upon the content of the print job.)
Media type selection
If different types of copying media (standard copy paper, OHP transparency film, label sheets, etc.) are set in the various locations for paper feed, the
printer will automatically select the type of paper that was designated for that particular print job.
EcoPrint
This printer comes equipped with an EcoPrint function that enables the reduction of toner consumption. By using the EcoPrint function, the same
quantity of toner will last longer. (This function is available for black and white printing only.)
Two-Way Parallel Interface
Data transfer from your computer to the printer is accomplished using an IEEE 1284 parallel interface.
Printer Control Commands
This printer has built-in Printer Control Commands (PRESCRIBE) with improved graphic functionality. A simple command will enable you to change
the margin setting, the character- or line-spacing, to rotate or fill in outlined fonts and graphics, and much more.
e-MPS Functions
This printer comes equipped with e-MPS (enhanced-Multiple Printing System) functions. With these functions, document data can be stored on the
Hard Disk (option) that is installed in the printer and printed out afterwards using the printer's operation panel. Available e-MPS functions include Quick
Copy, Proof and Hold, Private Print, Stored Job Printing (Job Storage), Virtual Mailbox (VMB), Temporary/Permanent Code Job and Electronic
Sorting.
Hard Disk
The optional Hard Disk can be installed in the printer. By installing the optional Hard Disk in your printer, you will be able to use the available e-MPS
functions as well as increase the efficiency of your printer with electronic sorting.
Memory (Compact Flash) Card Slot
The optional Memory Card can be installed in the printer. By installing the optional Memory Card in your printer, you will be able to use the optional
fonts, macro, and form functions, etc.
