It was designed to make a contribution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer technology. Maintenance Features Compact design-- Thanks to the inboard paper cassette configuration, the printer requires no more space than the average computer. Ultra long life modules-- The main modules for developing image and printing, such as the drum, developer, and the fuser, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need no periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally benign and is designed as a permanent component in the printer. The only maintenance regularly needed is to replenish the toner supply in the developer approximately every 10,000 pages and to clean some parts inside the printer. Amorphous silicon drum-- Kyocera's own unique ceramics technology has led to the development of an extremely hard and durable drum with extraordinarily long service life. Also, the drum has several excellent photoconductive properties, such as stability and reliability in varying temperatures, resistance to heat and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution printing. Print Engine Features Superb print quality-- With 600 dots-per-inch, the printout is close to typeset quality. Also, Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR) technology provides excellent sharpness and consistency. High speed-- A4-size pages typically print at the rate of 18 (12 for model FS-1700+) pages per minute. (Actual time required varies according to page complexity.) Large paper capacity-- The printer accommodates a paper cassette with a capacity of approximately 250 sheets (75 g/m2 [20 lb./ream] basis weight, 0.1 mm thickness) and a multi-purpose tray with a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (350 sheets in total). Wide variety of print media-- In addition to standard paper, the printer prints on special media of a wide range of types and sizes, including recycled paper, envelopes, labels and OHP film. xiii Introduction Sleep mode (Ecopower)-- conserves energy during the printer's idle periods. Ecoprint mode-- extends toner yield by reducing the amount of toner used on the page. Standard bi-directional parallel interface-- supports high-speed data exchange with the computer. Software Features Bitmapped and scalable typefaces-- In addition to its 80 bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that are equivalent to HP LaserJet fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to 999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments. A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE IIe, is provided with features including advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills, gray-scale shading, a useraccessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print directions within the same page. KPDL (Kyocera Printer Description Language)-- The printer is equipped with KPDL (Kyocera's implemantation of the PostScript page description language) and Adobe PostScript Type 1 compatible 35 fonts. Automatic rotation of fonts and graphicsq-- Images and scalable fonts are automatically rotated to match the page orientation. A wide variety of internal symbol sets-- The printer supports most Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5M compatible symbol sets for both bitmap and scalable fonts. Display of printer messages in any of three languages-- English, French, or German. As an option it is also possible to have the messages displayed in other languages. Please contact your Kyocera dealer. Memory card slot for option fonts, macros, forms, etc.-- Data in the memory card can be selectively read from the printer's control panel. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliance-- Offers network managers complete open system network management. Kyocera PrintMonitor (KPM)-- Provides network wide management of the Kyocera FS family of laser printers. Refer to the readme file located in the Kyocera Digital Library CD-ROM (included with the printer) for details. PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes-- The printer includes the capability that allows the user to implement the two-dimensional stacked bar code symbology, PDF417, or Portable Data File 417. This expanded functionality is achieved by using the PRESCRIBE IIe language commands. xiv Introduction Options The following options are available for the printer.

Positioning the Printer Chapter 1 Installing the Printer This chapter explains how to unpack and install the printer. The topics covered are: Positioning the printer Unpacking and inspection Names of parts Setting up and interfacing 1.1. Positioning the Printer Clearance Allow at least the necessary minimum clearance around the printer (see below). A total space of 92 cm by 61 cm by 138 cm (36 by 24 by 54 inches) is needed. 30 cm (12 inches) 30 cm (12 inches) 40 cm (16 inches) [20 cm (8 inches) when the face-up output tray* is not installed.] * Optional with the FS-1700+ 60 cm (24 inches) 25 cm (10 inches) Places to Avoid Avoid installing the printer in locations subject to: Ì Direct drafts of hot or cold air Ì Direct drafts from outside (Avoid locations near doors leading outside.) Ì Sudden temperature or humidity changes Ì Sources of high temperature, for example, near stoves or radiators Ì Excessive dust Ì Vibration 1-1 1.1. Positioning the Printer Ì Ammonia or other harmful fumes. (If you are planning to fumigate the room, or make liberal use of insecticide, remove the printer first!) Ì Excessive sunlight or humidity Ì Lack of ventilation Ì Low air pressure, e.g., located more than 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level Basic requirements The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is: Ì Near the computer If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable should be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet). Ì Level and well supported Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer. Ì Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see section Power Supply on next page). Power requirements are: Voltage Frequency Current capacity 120 V (U.S.A./Canada), 220 V to 240 V (European countries), ±10 % at each voltage 60 Hz (120 V), ±2 % 50 Hz (220 V to 240 V), ±2 % FS-1700+: Max. 5.8 A at 120 V, or Max. 3 A at 220 V to 240 V FS-3700+: Max. 7.8 A at 120 V, or Max. 4 A at 220 V to 240 V The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used. If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less. Ì Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry Temperature Humidity 10°C to 32.5°C, ideally about 20°C (50°F to 90.5°F, ideally about 68°F) 20% to 80%, ideally 60% If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you may not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams. 1-2 1.2. Unpacking and Inspection Power Supply The printer should not be on the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light, copier, or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it must share a power circuit with equipment like this, a high-frequency noise filter or isolation transformer is advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.) Avoid using plug multipliers to connect a large number of devices on the same circuit as the printer. If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In places where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator. As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer's AC primary circuit, an easily accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment. If the printer is used with the optional Sorter (SO-6) or Stacker (ST-20), in order to avoid short-circuiting, it should be ensured that these devices are plugged securely into their respective power outlets. Da kein Trennschalter in den Wechselstrom-Primärkreis des Druckers eingebaut ist, muß eine leicht zugängliche Steckdose in der Nähe des Gerätes vorhanden sein. Wenn der Drucker mit dem gesonderten Sorter (SO-6) oder Stapler (ST-20) verwendet wird, muß darauf geachtet werden, daß diese Geräte einwandfrei an separate Steckdosen angeschlossen sind, um Kurzschluß zu vermeiden. 1.2. Unpacking and Inspection The printer is packed as shown below. Unpack the printer following diagrams 1 and 2 on the next page. While unpacking it, check that the listed parts are all accounted for. Examine the package for any signs of damage that may have been caused during transportation. If the carton is found to be badly damaged, leave the carton unopened and immediately notify the dealer from whom you purchased the printer. Save the box and other packing materials in case you have to repack the printer for transportation at a later date. 1-3 1.2. Unpacking and Inspection List of shipped components Ì (A) Face-up output tray (FS-3700+ only) Ì (B) Toner container (Box for the developer unit) Ì (C) Power cord Ì (D)User's Manual and Kyocera Digital Library (CD-ROM), including the printer drivers and manuals. 1 (B) (A) 2 (C) (D) Printer To remove the printer from the box, grasp the handholds on either side of the printer.
