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

Features

This section outlines the common major printer features of the FS-1920 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 Kyoceras unique ceramic technology using amorphous silicon. KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) This is Kyoceras original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printers resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On. Superb print quality Using 1200 dpi resolution in Fast 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 printers 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.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface This printer supports Full-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 printers 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 Mitas 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 Kyoceras 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 file directly to the printer without invoking a printer driver. Account management system The account management system funciton 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.

Operating the Storage Device
The printer supports three types of storage devices: CompactFlash card, Microdrive, and RAM disk. The printer is equipped with a slot for a CompactFlash card and a Microdrive. By inserting a CompactFlash card or Microdrive into the printer, the following operations become available. For details about the handling of the CompactFlash card and Microdrive, see Appendix A. The following procedure assumes use of a CompactFlash card. The similar procedure can be applied when using the Microdrive. You can format the Microdrive using the operator panel when the first time you installed a new Microdrive. About formatting a new Microdrive.

Activating the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that can temporarily store print jobs for electronic sorting. The stored print job can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of period required to print the whole job. It acts similar to the option Microdrive except that the data is effective only during the printer is powered up. To set up the RAM disk, the option Microdrive must not be installed. To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of the RAM disk in the manner described below. The maximum RAM disk size can be calculated as follows: Maximum RAM disk size = Total printer memory - 9 MB For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 32 MB, you can set 23 MB of RAM disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond this restriction, the printer automatically round it down so that the size is always 9 MB less than the total printer memory. Once the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset. By default, the RAM disk is not activated (Off). To confirm the RAM disk size or activate the RAM disk, proceed as follows:

Lit Check the ATTENTION indicator. Flashing Lit
A maintenance message appears in the message display. Print quality is not good. Paper is jammed. Nothing lights on the operator 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 normally.

Open the left cover on the left side of the printer.

While holding the waste toner box, press the lock lever and then gently remove the waste toner box.
Remove the waste toner box as gently as possible so as not to scatter the toner inside. Do not let the opening of the waste toner box face downward.
Cap the waste toner box after removing from the printer.
To avoid toner spilling, place the capped waste toner box in the plastic bag supplied before proper disposal.

Ensure that it is correctly inserted and close the left cover.
The printer parts must be cleaned when replacing the toner container. See Cleaning section
If the toner container is replaced before it is empty, reset the toner counter (see Toner Counter Resetting in the users manual).
