Operation Guide

Cautions

• To prevent the printer from tipping over, the optional CA-31B caster kit must be installed when the printer is installed

with more than one paper feeder or a duplex unit. For detailed information on the CA-31B caster kit, see page A-11.

• Do not block the cooling air in and out vents and the exhaust duct against walls or with other objects. If the flow of cooling air is blocked, heat will be built up in the printer, and there will be a risk of fire.

Note

Moisture condensation inside the printer can cause blurred printing. When a heavily blured printing occurred, turn printer power off while the power cable is plugged to power. Then, open the front cover, draw the paper transfer unit fully out, and draw the primary transfer unit out. Allow approximately 2 hours before use.

Please read the Operation Guide before using the printer. Keep it close to the printer for easy reference.

Chapter 1 Introduction

W elcome to the professional color printer from Kyocera Mita. Using the Ecosys Color Printer, you can now print top quality documents at 31 pages per minute for monochrome and 8 pages per minute for color in A4, Letter, and A5 paper sizes.

The Kyocera Mita Ecosys Color FS-C8008N/DN Series printers are available in the following two models:

Ecosys Color FS-C8008N

Basic model of the FS-C8008 Series. Equipped with two paper cassettes, each with a capacity for holding 500 standard-size sheets of paper.

Ecosys Color FS-C8008DN

FS-C8008 Series model which is equipped with a duplexer (for two-sided printing) and a paper cassette with a capacity for holding 500 standard-size sheets of paper.

1.1 Features

1.1.1 General

This section outlines the common major printer features of the FS-C8008N and the FS-C8008DN Ecosys color laser printers.

Components with an ultra-long product life

The main printer components such as the imaging drum, development units, and fuser unit have an ultra-long product life.

The imaging drum has been developed using Kyocera’s leading-edge ceramic technology that makes full use of amorphous silicon.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface

This printer supports Full-Speed USB 2.0. Connection to a computer with a USB interface gives a higher communication speed than parallel interface connection.

High-speed printing

The printer supports print speeds of 31 pages per minute for monochrome outputs; and 8 pages per minute for color outputs. (Actual time varies according to page complexity.)

Superb color printing quality and versatile color control

This printer contains a mode that allows you to switch the gray level of each pixel between 2 bpp and 4 bpp (bits per pixel). The intelligent color calibration system automatically optimizes colors every time the printer is powered.

Variety of paper sizes and types

In addition to ordinary paper, you can use print media such as transparencies, labels, and other special papers for printouts.

Sleep mode

Conserves energy while printing is in standby.

1.1.2 Hardware

Advanced Performance Data Processing

A 400 MHz CPU, 128 MB of RAM, and the optional hard disk deliver ideal throughput for wide varying printing applications.

1-2

1.1 Features

Two expansion slots for hardware interfaces

The printer is equipped with two expansion slots for plugging in an optional network interface card and a hard disk.

Standard bidirectional parallel interface

Ensures high-speed data transfer between the host computer and printer.

Memory card slot

You can select and read the data in a memory card set in this slot from the printer operator panel.

Large-capacity paper cassettes

Each paper cassette can hold approximately 500 sheets of 80 g/m² paper which is 0.1 mm thick. The printer also has a multipurpose tray that can hold approximately 150 sheets of nonstandard size paper. Printed sheets can be stacked in the face-down output tray or an optional face-up output tray.

1.1.3 Software

Displaying printer messages in any of eight languages

Printer messages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, or Swedish.

e-MPS

‘e-MPS’ is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System,’ which is a post-processing function that combines electronic sorting, job retention, and virtual mailboxing.

When printing multiple copies of a document, the data is transferred from the computer to the printer only for the first copy; the data is then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Copies of the document are printed using the stored data.

Printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic. Furthermore, printed data that is stored on the hard disk can be called up using job retention

functions, such as Quick Copy etc., allowing you to quickly print additional copies of a document from the printer at any time, without needing to re-spool the document or start up the computer system.

Printer control language PRESCRIBE

The printer uses PRESCRIBE, Kyocera Mita’s page printer control language with enhanced color graphics capabilities. The simple commands of PRESCRIBE allow the programmers to easily define pagination and device control.

Chapter 2 Handling Paper

The printer can use a variety of media in various sizes. However, any media you will choose to use with the printer must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in this chapter. Use of paper not satisfying these guidelines and s pecifications may cause problems such as frequent paper jams, poor quality printing, and possible damage to the printer mechanism.

Even meeting the instructions provided in this chapter, special media such as transparencies, labels, envelopes, non-standard-size paper must be fed directly from the printer’s MP (multi-purpose) tray and delivered in the face-up tray in ‘straight path’ manner. For details on use of MP tray, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.1 MP Tray Mode

on page 3-69.

2.1 General

The Ecosys Color FS-C8008 Series printers are designed for high-grade bond (copy) paper, like those widely used for ordinary xerographic copiers. The printers will also support other types of paper as long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter.

Selecting the right paper is very important. Use of unsuitable paper can cause paper jams, misfeed, curling, poor print quality, and even worse, printer damage. This chapter shows you how to use your printer in a way that will ensure efficient, error-free printing and minimal printer damage. This practice will increase your office productivity.

Kyocera Mita will not be liable for any problems that may occur if you use paper that does not meet these standards.

Note

2.1.1 Available paper types

The FS-C8008 Series printers can use almost any type of printer paper. These printers accept paper used for xerographic copiers as well.

Paper comes in three generic grades: economy, standard, and premium. The grades are determined by how easily the paper can pass through the printer. This depends on the smoothness, size, moisture content, and cutting of the paper. The higher the grade, the less risk of problems (such as paper jams), and higher the print quality.

The differences in paper characteristics of different paper makers also affect the printer performance. High-performance printers can produce high-quality results only when the right types of paper are selected. Low-priced paper is not always economical, especially if it ends up causing frequent printing problems.

Paper of the different grades is available in basis weights (explained later). The recommended basis weights of paper for the printers are 16, 20, and 24 pounds. When expressed in grams per square meter, the recommended basis weights range from 60 to 90 g/m².

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper

T o get clean, crisp printouts from laser printers all the time, select high-quality printer paper that meets the printer’s requirements. Laser printers use laser beams, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat, all of which affect the paper. Furthermore, paper slide, bends, and twists as it passes through laser printers during printing. Therefore, printer paper must be able to withstand such great stress.

This section describes the major considerations for selecting the right printing paper.

2.2.1 Guidelines

Paper conditions

Do not use paper with folded edges, curls, warps, smudges, tears, or embossing. Also do not use paper containing lint, clay, or paper debris. Using such paper may cause illegible printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product life of the printer. Never use paper with surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as smooth and even as possible.

Paper composition

Do not use paper with surface-coating or containing plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing causes such paper to emit toxic fumes.

Bond paper should have at least an 80 % pulp content. The percentage of cotton and other fibers should not exceed 20 %.

Paper sizes

Ta bl e 2- 3 lists the standard paper sizes and dimensions. Note that certain paper sizes are

available only for MP tray feeding (as remarked) and face-up tray delivering. For details on using MP tray, seeChapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.1 MP Tray Mode on

page 3-69.

The dimensional tolerances for these paper sizes are length and width of paper. The corner angles must be 90

Table 2-3 (Continued)

Smoothness

Paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause gaps in printouts. However, paper with surfaces that are too smooth may cause multiple-sheet feeding and fogging problems (fogging is a gray background effect).

Basis weights

Basis weight is the weight in pounds of 500 sheets (called a ream) of paper cut to the basic size, which is 17

22 inches. The number of sheets in a ream and the basic paper size

relating to basis weights depend on paper classifications. In the metric system, the basis weight is expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²).

Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause misfeeds, jams, and premature wear of printer parts. Uneven weight of paper can cause multiple-sheet feeding, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The recommended basis weights for this printer are between 64 and 90 g/m² (17 to 24 lb per ream).

When you use paper with basis weights of 135 to 220 g/m², use the face-up tray for high-quality printouts.

Paper Weight Equivalence Table

The paper weight is listed with expression in U.S. bond weight (lb) and European metric (g/m²). The shaded point indicates the standard weight.

T able 2-4 (Continued)

Thickness (Caliper)

Thick paper is called high-caliper paper and thin paper is called low-caliper paper. Paper used by the printer should be neither too thick nor too thin. If you encounter paper jam, multiple-sheet feed, or too light printing problems, the paper may be too thin. If you encounter paper jam or too heavy printing problems, the paper may be too thick. The recommended thickness of a sheet for this printer is between 0.086 and 0.110 mm (from 3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Moisture content

Moisture content is the percentage of the weight of water in paper. Moisture affects the appearance, feeding, curling, electrostatic properties, toner fusing of the paper.

The moisture content of paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. If the room is too humid, paper will absorb more moisture. The edges will swell and the paper will become wavy. If the room is too dry and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and the print contrast may be degraded.

Wavy or tight edges can cause paper misfeeds and misalignments. The recommended moisture content is between 4 and 6 %.

T o maintain the correct moisture content level, store the paper in an environment that allows moisture control. These are tips for moisture control:

• Store paper in a cool, dry place.

• Leave packages of paper wrapped as long as possible. Rewrap unused paper.

• Return paper to its paper carton, whenever possible. Place the cartons on a pallet or other furniture so that they are not in direct contact with the floor.

• Before using paper stored for an extended period of time, condition it in the printer’s environment for at least 48 hours.

• Do not expose paper to heat, direct sunlight, or damp.

Grain

Technically, grain is the direction of paper in the paper machine. Grain is parallel with the direction of movement in the paper machine. Grain long means that the grain runs along the length of the sheet, and grain short means that the grain runs along the width of the sheet. Because grain short causes paper feed problems, always select grain long for the printers.

2-6

2.2.3 Other properties of paper

Porosity

The density of paper structure, which indicates the compactness of the fiber bonding. It is also the characteristic that allows air to pass through paper (i.e., air permeability).

Stiffness

The ability of paper to resist deformation under stress. In the printer, limp paper can buckle and too stiff paper can bind. Both conditions result in paper jams.

Curl

Most paper naturally tends to curl one way. To produce flat printouts, load the paper sheets so that the upward pressure from the printer can correct their curling. When loading paper, it is also important to distinguish between the front side and backside of the paper. Be sure to follow the paper loading instructions printed on the paper carton.

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper

Electrostatic discharge

During the printing process, paper is given an electrostatic charge to attract the toner. Therefore, the paper must discharge the static electricity so that the printouts do not stick to each other in the output tray.

Whiteness

The contrast of printed images depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper produces sharper and clearer images.

Quality control

Uneven paper sizes, corners that are not square, jagged paper edges, irregularly cut sheets, torn edges and corners, etc. can cause various printer troubles. Before purchasing paper, find out whether the paper store always takes measures to prevent such problems in its products.

Packaging

Paper sheets should be shipped in strong cartons to protect them from damage during transportation. Before purchasing paper, make sure the store ships its products in proper packages.

T able 2-5

You can assign one of these special paper type to a paper cassette or MP (multi-purpose) tray by using the printer’s operator panel keys. Then, the printer can automatically select the paper cassette or multi-purpose tray to feed the special paper from and internally adjust the electrical parameters for optimum printing performance according to the special paper type. For details, see

Paper Type on pa ge 3-7 3

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.4 Setting the Cassette

Note that some types of special paper do not allow feeding from the paper feeder cassette or duplex (two-sided) printing.

2.4.1 Selecting the Special Paper

Since special paper differs significantly in paper composition and quality, special paper is more likely to cause problems than white bond paper during printing. When using special paper, be sure that they are manufactured for photocopiers and/or laser printers.

Before purchasing any special paper, make a test print using the printer and check whether the results are satisfactory.

Kyocera Mita shall not be liable for any danger to a person or machine that is caused by using special paper (e.g., fumes emitted from the special paper).

Note

To avoid problems, stack transparencies, labels, or envelopes on the tray or cassette face up. Major considerations for each type of special paper are given below.

2-11

2.4 Special Paper

Transparency

Transparencies for overhead projectors must withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is as follows:

3M CG3700 (Letter, A4) Transparencies must be placed on the MP (multi-purpose) tray with the long edge towards

the printer. To avoid problems, stack transparencies face up on the face-up tray.

MP Tray

Figure 2-10

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

Adhesive-backed labels

Label paper must be fed manually. For printing on labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact

with any part of the printer. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers will cause printer damage.

Labels consist of three parts. Printing is done onto the top sheet (also called the face sheet). The adhesive contains chemicals. The carrier sheet (also called the backing paper or liner) bears the top sheet. This composition of labels can cause more problems than other print forms during printing.

Top sheet (white bond paper)

Adhesive Carrier sheet

Figure 2-11

When using label paper, do not leave gaps between the arranged labels (i.e., top sheets). Labels arranged with gaps in-between can easily be peeled off during printing, causing serious jam problems.

2-12

2.4 Special Paper

When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s outside edges that correspond to the margins of the printable area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until printing is finished.

T able 2-6

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.

Figure 2-13

2-13

2.4 Special Paper

Envelopes

Envelopes must be fed manually. 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. See section 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.

Other handling cautions follow:

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

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

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

Colored paper

Colored paper should have the same specifications as the white bond paper listed. In addition, the pigments in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing durin g the printing process (up to 200

C or 392 °F).

Note

Pre-printed paper

Pre-printed paper should basically be bond paper. The inks on the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process and must not be adversely affected by silicon oil. Do not use paper with any kind of coating, such as calendar stock.

Recycled paper

Select recycled paper that has the same specifications as white bond paper . See

page 2-2

Before purchasing recycled paper, make a test using the printer and check whether the print quality is satisfactory.

. Recycled paper, however, does not have to be as white as white bond paper.

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel

This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys Color printer. In general you need to use the operator panel only to make default settings. Y ou can make most changes to the printer settings using the printer driver trough the application software.

Changes to printer settings made using a software application override changes made using the operator panel.

Note

You can also rely on other printer utilities such as Kyocera Mita PrintMonitor if you need to change settings that are not available on the printer driver. It will allow you remotely access to printer settings. Printer utilities are supplied in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

The chapter describes the operator panel in detail, including its menus and the procedures for changing various printer settings.

3.1 Understanding the Operator Panel

3.4 e-MPS

e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System’ which implements the following functions that are available from the printer driver:

• Job Retention

• Job Storage

In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.

• To use the e-MPS system, the standard hard disk must be installed in the printer. For details, see Appendix A Options.

Note

• The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Ho ld and Private Print modes. See Using the RAM Disk on page 3-67 for details on RAM disk setup.

Job Retention

Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application software:

Quick Copy Proof-and-Hold Private Print Stored Job

tional copies

Note

3.4 e-MPS

Job Storage

Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer.

Virtual Mailbox

Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the hard disk without printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operator panel or the KM-NET Printer Disk Manager utility in the CD-ROM.

Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode. By default, each mailbox is numbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’ ... etc. To ‘post’ a job in one of these mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the printer driver when printing.

To retrieve the stored job for printing, see Retrieving Jobs from Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on

page 3-28.

The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.

3.4.1 Using Quick Copy

This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies of a job, simultaneously storing the job on the hard disk. When additional copies are required, you can reprint the required number of copies from the printer operator panel. To print a job as a quick copy job, see KX Printer Drivers Operation Guide.

The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the hard disk is 32. This value can be increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. For details, see Changing the

Maximum Number of Quick Copy/Proof-and-Hold Jobs on page 3-30

3.4.2 Using Proof-and-Hold

When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can proof it before continuing to print the remaining copies. Since you can proof the printouts before printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced.

The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the hard disk/RAM disk. You can also change the number of copies when resumin g printing from the operator panel.

When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

Printing Remaining Copies of a Proof and Hold Job

Printing a Proof-and-Hold job on the operator panel is similar to printing a quick copy job. See

Printing Additional Copies using Quick Copy on page Chapter 3-22

Press the ENTER key. The stored quick copy job is deleted.

3-23

3.4 e-MPS

3.4.3 Printing a Private Print/Job Retention

In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed until you release the job from the operator panel. At sending the job from the application software, you can specify a 4-digit access code in the printer driver. The job is releas ed for printing by entering the access code on the operator panel. Thus, this function ensures confidentiality of the print job.

In the job retention mode, access codes are not mandatory, but can be set on the printer driver if printing with the PIN security is required. Then, the access code must be entered on the operator panel to print a stored job. Print data will be stored in the hard disk/RAM disk after printing. See KX Printer Drivers Operation Guide for the driver settings.
