Installation Precautions
Environment
Caution
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable
or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down
or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal
injury or damage to the machine.
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt
become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the
danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or
locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and
maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave
adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to
be properly ventilated out of the printer.
Other Precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and
performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room
(recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity:
around 60% RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site
for the machine.
•Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
•Avoid locations with vibrations.
•Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
•Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
•Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause
any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long
period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely
large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain
the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room
be properly ventilated.

Other precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure
that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is
easily accessible.
Handling of plastic bags
Warning
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from
children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing
suffocation.
xviii
Precautions for Use
Cautions when using the machine
Warning
Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower
vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This
situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they
fall inside.
Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a
danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the
machine.
Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not
place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or
cause any other type of damage. These types of situations
present a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts as
there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser. If
the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing blindness.
If the machine becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the
machine, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation
occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the main
power switch off ({) immediately, be absolutely certain to remove the
power plug from the outlet and then contact your service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into
the machine, turn the main power switch off ({) immediately.
Next, be absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the
outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your
service representative.
Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as
there is a danger of electrical shock.
Always contact your service representative for maintenance or
repair of internal parts.
Caution
Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the
power cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a
danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug
when removing the power cord from the outlet.)
Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the
machine. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock.
If the machine will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O). If it will not be used
for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power
plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the machine is
not in use..
Always hold the designated parts only when lifting or moving the
machine.
For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the
outlet when performing cleaning operations.
Introduction-xix
If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire or
other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with
your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal parts.
This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of
high humidity. Consult with your service representative in regard
to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the machine.
Other precautions

General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can
also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified
below.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can
result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper 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 high-
quality 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 31.9b).
Paper Specifications
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details
are given on the following pages:
Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that
occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

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. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and
width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
MP Tray:

to 216 × 356mm (5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough
or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper
that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.
(Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm, you can
load the standard-size paper from Folio to Letter.
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm, you can
load the standard-size paper from Folio to Legal.
Loading Paper 2-5
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 120g/m² (16 to 31.9
lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59
lib/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 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
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.

2-6 Loading Paper
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.
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. When
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce
flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the
machine can correct their curling.
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.
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.
Loading Paper 2-7
Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
•Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)
•Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)
•Colored paper
•Recycled paper
•Overhead projector transparencies
•Cardstock
•Coated paper
•Envelopes
•Labels
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock,
coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.
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.
Transparency
This printer is available for monochorome printing on transparencies.
Transparencies must be fed to the MP Tray. One transparency can be
loaded at a time.
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process.
Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge
towards the printer.
Labels
Labels must be fed to the MP Tray. One label can be loaded at a time.
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.
Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample
on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

bond paper)
Adhesive
Carrier sheet
2-8 Loading Paper
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.
The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.
Postcards
Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. 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
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in
the face-up position, right edge first.
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 less envelopes on the MP tray.
•To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the output tray.

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.
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 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.
Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the
machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

4-2 Maintenance
General Information
This chapter describes basic maintenance tasks you can perform for the
printer. You can replace the toner container according to the printer's
status:
Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.
Toner Container Replacement
The Toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner
usage.
•When the printer becomes low on toner, the toner indicator for the
indivisual colors flashes. Note the replacement is not always
necessary at this stage.
•If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the Toner
indicator lights up just before the toner is used up. The toner
container must then be replaced immediately.
In either case, replace the toner container.
Frequency of toner container replacement
Assuming an average toner coverage of 5% and EcoPrint mode turned
off, the toner container will need replacing approximately once every
7,200 pages.
Starter Toner Container
The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner
container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 3,600 pages.
Toner Kits
For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera
Parts and Supplies.
A new toner kit contains the following items:
•Toner Container
•Plastic waste bag for old toner container
•Installation Guide
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.
