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.

Power Supply/Grounding the Machine

Warning

Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.

Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.

Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service representative.

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.

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.

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 display.

Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.

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.

Toner Container Replacement

The message identifies the toner status at two stages of toner usage.

•

When the printer becomes low on toner, the message Toner low is displayed. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.

•

If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the message

Replace toner Clean printer is displayed 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.

You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. The Toner Gauge in the consumables status section on the status page shows a progress bar, which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.

Starter Toner Container

The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 2,300 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:

Replacing the Toner Container

This section explains how to replace the toner container.

CAUTION Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner

Container. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.

IMPORTANT During toner container replacement, temporarily move storage media and computer supplies (such as floppy disks) away from the toner container. This is to avoid damaging media by the magnetism of toner.

IMPORTANT Kyocera Mita Corporation is not liable against any damages or problems arising from the use of toner containers other than those designated as original Kyocera toner containers. For optimum performance, it is also recommended to use only the Kyocera toner containers which are specifically intended for use in your country or region. If the toner container for another destinations is installed, the printer will stop printing.

Note

You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the replacement. Any data that may be processing in the printer will be deleted if you turn the printer power off.

General Guidelines

The table below provides basic solutions for problems you may encounter with the printer. We suggest you consult this table to troubleshoot the problems before calling for service repairs.

Symptom

Print quality is poor.

Check Items

–

Text is missing on the

Windows test page.

Paper is jammed.

Nothing lights on the operation panel even when power is turned on and the fan makes no noise.

The printer prints a status page but data from the computer is not being printed.

–

–

Check the power cord is property plugged into power outlet.

Check the power switch is in the

On ( | ) position.

Check program files and application software.

Check the interface cable.

Vapor is emitted near the top tray.

Check if the temperature is low near the location of the printer, or if the paper that is being used has been exposed to humidity.

Corrective Actions

Select half speed mode using the printer driver.

Refer to Print Quality Problems on page 5-3.

This is a problem specific to the Windows OS. It is not a printer problem. It does not affect print quality.

Refer to Clearing Paper Jams on page 5-10.

Connect both ends of the power cord securely. Try replacing the power cord. Refer to Installation Guide for more information.

Refer to the Installation Guide for more information.

Try printing another file or using another print command. If the problem occurs with a specific file or application, check the printer settings for that application.

Connect both ends of the interface cable securely.

Try replacing the printer cable. Refer to the

Installation Guide for more information.

Depending on the operating environment of the printer and the condition of the paper, heat generated during printing can evaporate water moisture in the printed paper, emitting vapor from the printer. In this case, printing can be continued without any problem.

To correct this, increase the temperature in the room, and use paper that has been stored in a dry place.

Tips

Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have encountered a problem that cannot be solved following the guidelines above, try the following:

•

Restart the computer you are using to send print jobs to the printer.

•

Obtain and use the latest version of the printer driver. The latest versions of printer drivers and utilities are available at: http://www.kyoceramita.com/download/.

•

Make sure that the procedures for printing are correctly followed in the application software. Consult the documentation supplied with the application software.

General Considerations for Clearing Jams

Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting paper jam removal:

CAUTION When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult to remove and may be easily overlooked, deterring the paper jam recovery.

•

If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace the paper with paper from another ream, or flip the paper stack over. The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after the paper is replaced.

•

Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after printing is resumed, depends on the location of the paper jam.
