Index-1 viii Introduction The Kyocera Mita page printer has many extremely desirable features. It was designed to make a contribution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer technology. This section contains the following subsections. · · · Features For More Information... Guide to the Operation Guide ix Features This section outlines the common major printer features of the FS-3830N page printer. Ultra long life modules The drum, developer, and fuser have been designed for ultra long life. Amorphous silicon drum The drum has been developed using Kyocera's unique ceramic technology using amorphous silicon. KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) This is Kyocera's original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer's resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On. Superb print quality Using 1200 dpi resolution in Fast 1200 mode or Fine 1200 mode, the printout is close to typeset quality. Also, with Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR) technology, high quality printing can be achieved even at 300 dpi and 600 dpi. Large paper capacity Approximately 500 sheets can be loaded into the paper cassette, and about 100 sheets can be loaded into the MP tray. Wide variety of print media As well as standard paper, the printer will print on transparency, labels and other types of special purpose media. Sleep Mode Conserves energy during the printer's idle periods. Ecoprint Extends the toner yield by reducing the amount of toner used on the page. Displaying printer messages in any of eight languages Printer messages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese. x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface This printer supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 standards. Connection to a computer with a USB interface gives a higher communication speed than parallel interface connection. 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. KPDL3 (Kyocera Printer Description Language 3) KPDL3 is the Kyocera's implementation of the PostScript page description language Level 3. The printer has 80 fonts that are compatible with Adobe PostScript fonts. (The printer also has 80 PCL fonts.) PDF direct printing Allows you to send a selected PDF (version 1.4 or less) file directly to the printer without invoking a printer driver. Account management system The account management system function records the number of pages printed by each department. The administrator can preset the maximum number of pages that each department will be allowed to print. xi Microdrive (hard disk unit) slot for various functions such as job retention, VMB, and more By saving print jobs onto the Microdrive, they can be printed out at the operator panel when desired. The electronic sort function can be used for much faster printing. CompactFlash card slot for option fonts, macros, forms, etc. Data in the CompactFlash card can be selectively read from the printer's operator panel. SNMP compliance The printer complies with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SNMP is used for providing and transferring management information (MIB) between the printer and the host computer. Built-in and external network interfaces Because the network interface supports TCP/IP IPX/SPX, NetBEUI and , EtherTalk protocols, network printing is possible with various environments including Windows, Macintosh, UNIX and NetWare, etc. Support for network printer monitor utility (KM-NET VIEWER) Allows network wide management of printers. See the readme file in the CD-ROM (comes with the printer) for details. xii For More Information...

Option xv Chapter 1 Using the Operator Panel 1 This chapter explains the following topics: · · · · · · · · Understanding the Operator Panel Printing Test Pages Paper Handling Pagination e-MPS Interface Operating the Storage Device Configuration 1-1 Understanding the Operator Panel Understanding the Operator Panel The operator panel has a LCD message display, three indicators, and eight keys. Messages that appear on the display and functions of indicators and keys are explained in the sections that follows. Message Display The message display gives information in the form of short messages. The eight messages listed below are displayed during normal warm-up and printing. Other messages that may appear when the printer needs the operator's attention are explained in Chapter 4. Message Meaning The printer is self-testing after power-up. The printer is warming up and is not ready. When the printer is switched on for the first time after the toner container is installed, (Adding toner) also appears. The printer is ready to print. The printer is receiving data, generating graphics, reading a CompactFlash card/Microdrive, or printing. The printer is in sleep mode. The printer wakes from sleep mode whenever the GO key on the operator panel is pressed, the cover is opened or closed, or data is received. The printer then warms up and goes online. The time that the printer takes to enter sleep mode depends on the sleep timer setting. Jobs inside the printer are being canceled. To cancel a job, see the table on page 1-5. The printer is waiting for the end-of-job command before printing the last page. Pressing the GO key allows you to obtain the last page immediately. The printer is printing the last page after a waiting period.
