1.1  
Features  
This section outlines the common major printer features of the FS-C8008N and the  
FS-C8008DN Ecosys color laser printers.  
1.1.1  
General  
Components with an ultra-long product life  
The main printer components such as the imaging drum, development units, and fuser unit  
have an ultra-long product life.  
The imaging drum has been developed using Kyocera’s leading-edge ceramic technology  
that makes full use of amorphous silicon.  
USB (Universal Serial Bus) Interface  
This printer supports Full-Speed USB 2.0. Connection to a computer with a USB interface  
gives a higher communication speed than parallel interface connection.  
High-speed printing  
The printer supports print speeds of 31 pages per minute for monochrome outputs; and 8  
pages per minute for color outputs. (Actual time varies according to page complexity.)  
Superb color printing quality and versatile color control  
This printer contains a mode that allows you to switch the gray level of each pixel between  
2 bpp and 4 bpp (bits per pixel). The intelligent color calibration system automatically  
optimizes colors every time the printer is powered.  
Variety of paper sizes and types  
In addition to ordinary paper, you can use print media such as transparencies, labels, and  
other special papers for printouts.  
Sleep mode  
Conserves energy while printing is in standby.  
1.1.2  
Hardware  
Advanced Performance Data Processing  
A 400 MHz CPU, 128 MB of RAM, and the optional hard disk deliver ideal throughput for  
wide varying printing applications.

1.1 Features  
Two expansion slots for hardware interfaces  
The printer is equipped with two expansion slots for plugging in an optional network  
interface card and a hard disk.  
Standard bidirectional parallel interface  
Ensures high-speed data transfer between the host computer and printer.  
Memory card slot  
You can select and read the data in a memory card set in this slot from the printer operator  
panel.  
Large-capacity paper cassettes  
Each paper cassette can hold approximately 500 sheets of 80 g/m² paper which is 0.1 mm  
thick. The printer also has a multipurpose tray that can hold approximately 150 sheets of  
nonstandard size paper. Printed sheets can be stacked in the face-down output tray or an  
optional face-up output tray.  
Displaying printer messages in any of eight languages  
Printer messages can be displayed in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish,  
Spanish, or Swedish.  
1.1.3  
Software  
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.

Chapter 2 Handling Paper  
The printer can use a variety of media in various sizes. However, any media you will choose  
to use with the printer must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in this  
chapter. Use of paper not satisfying these guidelines and specifications may cause problems  
such as frequent paper jams, poor quality printing, and possible damage to the printer  
mechanism.  
Even meeting the instructions provided in this chapter, special media such as transparencies,  
labels, envelopes, non-standard-size paper must be fed directly from the printer’s MP  
(multi-purpose) tray and delivered in the face-up tray in ‘straight path’ manner. For details

2.1 General  
2.1  
General  
The Ecosys Color FS-C8008 Series printers are designed for high-grade bond (copy) paper,  
like those widely used for ordinary xerographic copiers. The printers will also support other  
types of paper as long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter.  
Selecting the right paper is very important. Use of unsuitable paper can cause paper jams,  
misfeed, curling, poor print quality, and even worse, printer damage. This chapter shows  
you how to use your printer in a way that will ensure efficient, error-free printing and  
minimal printer damage. This practice will increase your office productivity.  
Kyocera Mita will not be liable for any problems that may occur if you use paper that  
does not meet these standards.  
Note  
2.1.1  
Available paper types  
The FS-C8008 Series printers can use almost any type of printer paper. These printers  
accept paper used for xerographic copiers as well.  
Paper comes in three generic grades: economy, standard, and premium. The grades are  
determined by how easily the paper can pass through the printer. This depends on the  
smoothness, size, moisture content, and cutting of the paper. The higher the grade, the less  
risk of problems (such as paper jams), and higher the print quality.  
The differences in paper characteristics of different paper makers also affect the printer  
performance. High-performance printers can produce high-quality results only when the  
right types of paper are selected. Low-priced paper is not always economical, especially if it  
ends up causing frequent printing problems.  
Paper of the different grades is available in basis weights (explained later). The recommended  
basis weights of paper for the printers are 16, 20, and 24 pounds. When expressed in grams  
per square meter, the recommended basis weights range from 60 to 90 g/m².

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper  
2.2  
Selecting the Right Paper  
To get clean, crisp printouts from laser printers all the time, select high-quality printer paper  
that meets the printer’s requirements. Laser printers use laser beams, electrostatic discharge,  
toner, and heat, all of which affect the paper. Furthermore, paper slide, bends, and twists as  
it passes through laser printers during printing. Therefore, printer paper must be able to  
withstand such great stress.  
This section describes the major considerations for selecting the right printing paper.  
2.2.1  
Guidelines  
Paper conditions  
Do not use paper with folded edges, curls, warps, smudges, tears, or embossing. Also do  
not use paper containing lint, clay, or paper debris. Using such paper may cause illegible  
printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product life of the printer. Never use  
paper with surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as  
smooth and even as possible.  
Paper composition  
Do not use paper with surface-coating or containing plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing  
causes such paper to emit toxic fumes.  
Bond paper should have at least an 80 % pulp content. The percentage of cotton and other  
fibers should not exceed 20 %.  
Paper sizes  
Table 2-3 lists the standard paper sizes and dimensions. Note that certain paper sizes are  
available only for MP tray feeding (as remarked) and face-up tray delivering. For details on  
The dimensional tolerances for these paper sizes are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for both  
length and width of paper. The corner angles must be 90 ±0.2 °.

Paper properties  
Smoothness  
Paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can  
cause gaps in printouts. However, paper with surfaces that are too smooth may cause  
multiple-sheet feeding and fogging problems (fogging is a gray background effect).  
Basis weights  
Basis weight is the weight in pounds of 500 sheets (called a ream) of paper cut to the basic  
size, which is 17 × 22 inches. The number of sheets in a ream and the basic paper size  
relating to basis weights depend on paper classifications. In the metric system, the basis  
weight is expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²).  
Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause misfeeds, jams, and premature wear of printer  
parts. Uneven weight of paper can cause multiple-sheet feeding, print defects, poor toner  
fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The recommended basis weights for this  
printer are between 64 and 90 g/m² (17 to 24 lb per ream).  
When you use paper with basis weights of 135 to 220 g/m², use the face-up tray for  
high-quality printouts.

Table 2-4 (Continued)  
Thickness (Caliper)  
Thick paper is called high-caliper paper and thin paper is called low-caliper paper. Paper  
used by the printer should be neither too thick nor too thin. If you encounter paper jam,  
multiple-sheet feed, or too light printing problems, the paper may be too thin. If you  
encounter paper jam or too heavy printing problems, the paper may be too thick. The  
recommended thickness of a sheet for this printer is between 0.086 and 0.110 mm (from 3.4  
to 4.3 mils).  
Moisture content  
Moisture content is the percentage of the weight of water in paper. Moisture affects the  
appearance, feeding, curling, electrostatic properties, toner fusing of the paper.  
The moisture content of paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. If the room is  
too humid, paper will absorb more moisture. The edges will swell and the paper will  
become wavy. If the room is too dry and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and  
tighten, and the print contrast may be degraded.  
Wavy or tight edges can cause paper misfeeds and misalignments. The recommended  
moisture content is between 4 and 6 %.  
To maintain the correct moisture content level, store the paper in an environment that allows  
moisture control. These are tips for moisture control:  
Store paper in a cool, dry place.  
Leave packages of paper wrapped as long as possible. Rewrap unused paper.  
Return paper to its paper carton, whenever possible. Place the cartons on a pallet or  
other furniture so that they are not in direct contact with the floor.  
Before using paper stored for an extended period of time, condition it in the printer’s  
environment for at least 48 hours.  
Do not expose paper to heat, direct sunlight, or damp.  
Grain  
Technically, grain is the direction of paper in the paper machine. Grain is parallel with the  
direction of movement in the paper machine. Grain long means that the grain runs along the  
length of the sheet, and grain short means that the grain runs along the width of the sheet.  
Because grain short causes paper feed problems, always select grain long for the printers.

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper  
2.2.3  
Other properties of paper  
Porosity  
The density of paper structure, which indicates the compactness of the fiber bonding. It is  
also the characteristic that allows air to pass through paper (i.e., air permeability).  
Stiffness  
The ability of paper to resist deformation under stress. In the printer, limp paper can buckle  
and too stiff paper can bind. Both conditions result in paper jams.  
Curl  
Most paper naturally tends to curl one way. To produce flat printouts, load the paper sheets  
so that the upward pressure from the printer can correct their curling. When loading paper, it  
is also important to distinguish between the front side and backside of the paper. Be sure to  
follow the paper loading instructions printed on the paper carton.  
Electrostatic discharge  
During the printing process, paper is given an electrostatic charge to attract the toner.  
Therefore, the paper must discharge the static electricity so that the printouts do not stick to  
each other in the output tray.  
Whiteness  
The contrast of printed images depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper  
produces sharper and clearer images.  
Quality control  
Uneven paper sizes, corners that are not square, jagged paper edges, irregularly cut sheets,  
torn edges and corners, etc. can cause various printer troubles. Before purchasing paper, find  
out whether the paper store always takes measures to prevent such problems in its products.  
Packaging  
Paper sheets should be shipped in strong cartons to protect them from damage during  
transportation. Before purchasing paper, make sure the store ships its products in proper  
packages.

Special Paper  
Besides plain paper, this printer can use the following types of special paper:  
Paper type to be used  
Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)  
Thick paper (90 to 200 g/m²)  
Colored paper  
Media type to be selected  
Vellum  
Thick  
Color  
Recycled paper  
Recycle  
Overhead projector transparencies Transparency  
Postcards  
Envelopes  
Label  
Cardstock

Labels  
Table 2-5  
You can assign one of these special paper type to a paper cassette or MP (multi-purpose)  
tray by using the printer’s operator panel keys. Then, the printer can automatically select the  
paper cassette or multi-purpose tray to feed the special paper from and internally adjust the  
electrical parameters for optimum printing performance according to the special paper type.  
Note that some types of special paper do not allow feeding from the paper feeder cassette or  
duplex (two-sided) printing.  
2.4.1  
Selecting the Special Paper  
Since special paper differs significantly in paper composition and quality, special paper is  
more likely to cause problems than white bond paper during printing. When using special  
paper, be sure that they are manufactured for photocopiers and/or laser printers.  
Before purchasing any special paper, make a test print using the printer and check whether  
the results are satisfactory.  
Kyocera Mita shall not be liable for any danger to a person or machine that is caused  
by using special paper (e.g., fumes emitted from the special paper).  
Note  
To avoid problems, stack transparencies, labels, or envelopes on the tray or cassette face up.  
Major considerations for each type of special paper are given below.  
2-11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
2.4 Special Paper  
Transparency  
Transparencies for overhead projectors must withstand the heat of fusing during the printing  
process. The recommended transparency product is as follows:  
3M CG3700 (Letter, A4)  
Transparencies must be placed on the MP (multi-purpose) tray with the long edge towards  
the printer. To avoid problems, stack transparencies face up on the face-up tray.  
MP Tray  
Figure 2-10  
When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to  
avoid leaving fingerprints on them.  
Adhesive-backed labels  
Label paper must be fed manually.  
For printing on labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact  
with any part of the printer. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers will cause printer  
damage.  
Labels consist of three parts. Printing is done onto the top sheet (also called the face sheet).  
The adhesive contains chemicals. The carrier sheet (also called the backing paper or liner)  
bears the top sheet. This composition of labels can cause more problems than other print  
forms during printing.  
Top sheet (white bond paper)  
Adhesive  
Carrier sheet  
Figure 2-11  
When using label paper, do not leave gaps between the arranged labels (i.e., top sheets).  
Labels arranged with gaps in-between can easily be peeled off during printing, causing  
serious jam problems.  
2-12

2.4 Special Paper  
When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s outside edges that correspond to  
the margins of the printable area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet  
until printing is finished.

104 to 151 g/m² (28 to 40 lb)

0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)  
4 to 6 % (composite)  
Top sheet thickness

Table 2-6  
Postcards  
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.  
Figure 2-13

2.4 Special Paper  
Envelopes  
Envelopes must be fed manually.  
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. See section 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.  
Other handling cautions follow:  
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.  
To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack the printed envelopes no higher than  
10 on the output tray.  
Colored paper  
Colored paper should have the same specifications as the white bond paper listed. In  
addition, the pigments in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the  
printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).  
Pre-printed paper  
Pre-printed paper should basically be bond paper. The inks on the paper must be able to  
withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process and must not be adversely affected  
by silicon oil. Do not use paper with any kind of coating, such as calendar stock.  
Recycled paper  
Select recycled paper that has the same specifications as white bond paper. See Table 2-1 on  
page 2-2. Recycled paper, however, does not have to be as white as white bond paper.  
Before purchasing recycled paper, make a test using the printer and check whether  
the print quality is satisfactory.

Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel  
This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys Color printer. In  
general you need to use the operator panel only to make default settings. You can make most  
changes to the printer settings using the printer driver trough the application software.  
Changes to printer settings made using a software application override changes made  
using the operator panel.  
Note  
You can also rely on other printer utilities such as Kyocera Mita PrintMonitor if you need to  
change settings that are not available on the printer driver. It will allow you remotely access  
to printer settings. Printer utilities are supplied in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.  
The chapter describes the operator panel in detail, including its menus and the procedures  
for changing various printer settings.

3.4 e-MPS  
3.4  
e-MPS  
e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System’ which implements the  
following functions that are available from the printer driver:  
Job Retention  
Job Storage  
In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the  
computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document  
are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling  
time and less network traffic.  
To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be installed in the printer.  
For details, see Appendix A Options.  
Note  
The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes.  
See Using the RAM Disk on page 3-67 for details on RAM disk setup.  
Job Retention  
Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected when you  
choose on the printer driver through the application software:  
Quick Copy  
Proof-and-Hold Private Print  
Stored Job

3.4 e-MPS  
Job Storage  
Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as  
you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer.  
Virtual Mailbox  
Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the hard disk without  
printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operator panel or the KM-NET  
Printer Disk Manager utility in the CD-ROM.  
Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode.  
By default, each mailbox is numbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’ ... etc. To ‘post’ a job in  
one of these mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the printer driver  
when printing.  
To retrieve the stored job for printing, see Retrieving Jobs from Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on  
The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.  
Note  
3.4.1  
Using Quick Copy  
This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies of a job, simultaneously  
storing the job on the hard disk. When additional copies are required, you can reprint the  
required number of copies from the printer operator panel. To print a job as a quick copy  
job, see KX Printer Drivers Operation Guide.  
The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the hard disk is 32. This value can be  
increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. For details, see Changing the  
jobs reaches the limit, the oldest job will be overwritten by the new one.  
When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

Deleting a Quick Copy Job  
All quick copy jobs are automatically deleted when the printer is turned off. If you desire to  
explicitly delete a stored quick copy job, proceed as follows:  
Follow steps 1 through 8 in the above section to let the title of the job to be deleted  
displayed.

3.4.2  
Using Proof-and-Hold  
When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can proof it  
before continuing to print the remaining copies. Since you can proof the printouts before  
printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced.  
The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the hard disk/RAM  
disk. You can also change the number of copies when resuming printing from the operator  
panel.  
When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.  
Printing Remaining Copies of a Proof and Hold Job  
Printing a Proof-and-Hold job on the operator panel is similar to printing a quick copy job.

3.4.3  
Printing a Private Print/Job Retention  
In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed until you release the job from the  
operator panel. At sending the job from the application software, you can specify a 4-digit  
access code in the printer driver. The job is released for printing by entering the access code  
on the operator panel. Thus, this function ensures confidentiality of the print job.  
In the job retention mode, access codes are not mandatory, but can be set on the printer  
driver if printing with the PIN security is required. Then, the access code must be entered on  
the operator panel to print a stored job. Print data will be stored in the hard disk/RAM disk  
after printing. See KX Printer Drivers Operation Guide for the driver settings.

Setting Print Quality  
The printer features the Print Quality menu which lets you select:  
Tone mode (Normal and Fine)  
Gloss mode (Low and High)  
3.8.1  
Tone Mode  
The Tone Mode selects the way the printer handles a pixel for representing the color and  
halftoning for each pixel — Normal or Fine. The Fine tone mode uses four-bit smooth  
halftone for photographs, image, etc.; and the Normal tone mode uses a two-bit halftone for  
text, solid objects, etc. Either of these tone modes consistently affects all objects on a page.  
The Fine tone mode provides the print quality better than Normal, but the printing speed is  
slower and more memory is required. To enable the printing in Fine tone mode (4 bpp) on  
A3 or B4 with duplex printing, the minimum printer memory requirement is 160 MB.  
The amount of memory actually required may vary depending on the data to print.  
Note  
The default tone mode is Normal. To confirm and change the tone mode, proceed as

operations on the hard disk.  
Reading data  
Writing data  
Deleting data  
Formatting hard disk  
Printing a list of data names (partitions)  
When an option hard disk is inserted into the printer for the first time, it must be formatted

appear on the message display.  
The operations of the option hard disk are the same as those of the memory card. See the  
When data is written to the hard disk, the name automatically given to the corresponding  
file will be DataH001 (for the 1st file), DataH002 (for the 2nd file), DataH003 (for the 3rd  
file), etc.  
3.9.3  
Using the RAM Disk  
The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that can temporarily  
store print jobs. The RAM disk can be used only for electronic sorting. The stored print job  
can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of time  
required to print the whole job. It acts similar to the hard disk except that the data is  
effective only during the printer is powered up. By default, the RAM disk is not activated  
(Off).  
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 -36 MB  
For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 256 MB, you can set 224 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 36 MB less than the total printer  
memory. Once the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset.  
To activate RAM disk in the printer's memory, first you must set the RAM disk mode to On  
and set the desired data size for the RAM disk as descriped in the following section. This  
allows you to perform the following operations on the RAM disk.  
Reading data  
Writing data  
Deleting data  
Printing a list of data names (partitions)  
The operations of the RAM disk are the same as those of the memory card. See the relevant  
sections in Section 3.9.1 Using the Memory Card on page 3-60. When data is written to the  
RAM disk, the name automatically given to the corresponding file will be DataH001 (for  
the 1st file), DataH002 (for the 2nd file), DataH003 (for the 3rd file), etc.

3.9 Operating the Storage Device  
The RAM disk can not be used when an option hard disk is installed.  
The RAM disk stores data only temporarily. When the printer is reset or turned off,  
the stored data will be erased.  
Note  
The RAM disk is allocated within the printer's memory available to users. If the  
size of the RAM disk is set too large, the printing speed may decrease or the  
memory may become insufficient.

3.10 Paper Handling  
This section explains how to change mode for the MP (multi-purpose) tray, the paper size  
and type for each paper source, mode for the option sorter, and how to select the paper  
source and paper destinations.  
3.10.1 MP Tray Mode  
The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassetteor First. The MP tray  
feed paper differently depending on the mode:  
Cassette Mode (default)  
The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper source. The printer can correctly  
feed paper from any paper source as you command on the printer driver. The cassette  
mode provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.  
First Mode  
The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper  
source that is selected on the printer driver. After all paper sheets in the MP tray have  
been used up (approximately 150 sheets), paper will be fed from the paper source  
originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type  
without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if  
you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.  
To switch the MP tray to Firstmode, proceed as follows:  
Press the MENU key.

3.10.6 Duplex Printing (FS-C8008DN)  
The FS-C8008DN is equipped with the PD-800 duplex unit as a standard feature. The Paper  
Handling menu on the operator panel provides you with activating the duplexer for printing  
both sides of paper. You can also select the direction the duplex printed pages are bound —  
short or long edge binding. See Figure 3-13 below.  
Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:  
Plain  
Prepunched  
Bond  
Recycled  
Rough  
Letterhead  
Color  
Prepunched  
Vellum  
Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long  
edge binding mode.  
Duplex printing can be also performed from the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. When the MP  
tray is set to First Mode (“First”), the paper size and paper type will be the same as those  
of the paper cassette currently set at the paper feed source. If the paper to be fed from  
the MP tray does not match the paper size and paper type of the current paper feed  
source cassette, a paper jam may occur.  
Note  
Binding Modes  
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing,  
stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are: long-edge binding, in  
which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which  
they are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also  
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding  
with either landscape or portrait printing.  
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of  
binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge,  
and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.

Note on Duplex Printing from the MP Tray  
You cannot select the MP tray, when it is set to ‘cassette’ mode, to perform duplex  
printing. To perform duplex printing, select a paper cassette.  
It is possible to duplex-print using the MP tray if it is set in ‘first’ mode. (See Section  
3.10.1 MP Tray Mode on page 3-69.) However, be sure to set the MP tray paper size  
and paper type to the same paper size and paper type as those of the current paper  
cassette. If the paper size or type differs, a paper jam may occur.

3.10.8 Creating Custom Paper Types  
The Type Adjust menu on the operator panel may be used to create a user-defined paper  
type for the printer. Custom paper types allow you to optimize printing parameters such as  
the fuser temperature best suited for the paper property. It also enables the printer to  
automatically select the paper cassette in which the custom paper is loaded as commanded  
by the printer driver  
Up to eight custom user settings may be registered on the operator panel. Creating a custom  
paper type using the operator panel is a 4-step job:  
selecting one of eight custom setting positions (Custom 1 through 8)  
selecting the paper weight  
selecting the fuser temperature  
enabling or disabling duplexing for the paper type  
Custom paper types can be reset afterwards by following the steps in Section 3.10.9

3.10.11 Selecting the Option Sorter Mode  
If you install an option sorter (SO-30), you can have your printouts automatically sorted in  
three different ways when printing multiple copies. The three methods are:  
Sorter mode  
The sorter receives a complete set of a document starting from the top tray.  
Collator mode  
The sorter receives all copies of the same page in each tray starting from the top tray.  
Mailbox mode  
The sorter receives all copies of the same page in each tray starting from the bottom  
tray.

The maximum number of copies is 9. If a tray becomes full  
(approximately 200 pages), the printer pauses and indi-  
cates the Sorter tray # paper fullmessage. You  
will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi-  
cated by #in the message.  
Copy 2 (1-50 pages)  
Copy 3 (1-50 pages)  
Copy 4 (1-50 pages)  
In the example, four copies of a document of 50 pages long  
are printed, and each copy is stacked in trays 1, 2, 3, and 4,  
respectively.

.....  
Collator mode  
The collator mode sorts the output pages by page as shown  
in the example. When multiple copies of a file are printed,  
all copies of a single page are delivered together to a single  
tray. A typical use of this mode is in printing material to be  
distributed at a meeting.

The maximum number of copies is 200. If a tray becomes  
full (200 pages), the printer pauses and indicates the  
Sorter tray # paper full message. Then, you  
will need to remove all the printed pages from the tray indi-  
cated by #in the message.

In the example, we make 200-copy stacks of each page of  
an 4-page long document.

Mailbox mode  
The mailbox mode simply stacks the printed pages into the  
sorter’strays withoutsorting thepages in any way, starting  
from the bottom tray and going to the top tray. When the  
top tray becomes full, the printer indicates the Sorter  
tray # paper fullmessage and pauses until you  
remove all the pages in the tray indicated by #in the mes-  
sage. In this way, you can print a large job up to approxi-  
mately 1,000 pages without interrupting the printing  
process.

3.13.12 Color Calibration  
This printer contains a calibration function that automatically makes adjustments in  
compensation for secular changes that occur over time due to variations in the ambient  
temperature and humidity. So that the highest quality color printing can be maintained, this  
color calibration operation is carried out automatically each time the power to the printer is  
turned on, as well as each time the printer reverts to normal operation from the sleep mode.  
To manually carry out the color calibration operation, perform the following procedure.

Tips  
Printer problems may be solved easily by following the tips below. When you have  
encountered a problem that following the above guidelines will not solve, try the following:  
Turn the printer power off and wait for several seconds. Then, turn on the printer.  
Reboot the computer which sends the 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.  
If the printer prints garbage characters or stalls when the computer is turned on,  
particularly when the printer is connected to the computer under Windows 98 via the  
parallel port, rename device driver file drvwppqt.vxd. This file may be located in  
Windows\System\Iosubsys or Arcada\System folder. For technical details, visit  
Microsoft web site for the device driver.

Clearing Paper Jams  
If the paper jammed in the paper transport system, or no paper sheets were fed at all, the  
Paper jammessage appears and the location of the paper jam (the component where the  
paper jam has occurred) is also indicated. The printer automatically goes off-line when this  
message is displayed. Remove jammed paper. After removing jammed paper, the printer  
will re-start printing.  
4.4.1  
Possible Paper Jam Locations  
The figure below explains the printer’s paper paths including the options, for example, the  
document finisher and the duplexer (a standard accessory for the FS-C8008DN). The  
locations where paper jams might occur are also shown here, with each location explained  
in Table 4-7 below. Paper jams can occur in more than one component on the paper paths.

General considerations for clearing jams  
Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting jam removal:  
When you remove paper jams, be sure to remove all of the jammed paper in the printer.  
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace the paper with  
paper from another ream, flip the paper stack over, or rotate the paper stack 180  
degrees. Selection of paper is fully discussed in Chapter 2 Handling Paper on page 2-1.  
The printer may have problems if paper jams recur after the paper was replaced.  
Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after printing is resumed  
depends on the location of the paper jam.  
Caution  
Utilizing Online Help Messages  
Online help messages are available in the printer’s message display to provide simple  
instructions for clearing jams. Press the ? key when the paper jam message has appeared.  
Then a help message will appear to facilitate jam clearing in the location.

Toner Container Replacement  
5.1.1  
Frequency of toner container replacement  
The life of the toner containers depends on the amount of toner required to accomplish your  
printing jobs. When 5 % coverage (a typical business document) of individual toner colors  
is assumed for A4 or letter size paper in landscape orientation:  
The black toner container lasts an average of 25,000 monochrome pages.  
The cyan, magenta, and yellow toner containers last an average of 10,000 color images.  
You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. For  
page 3-17. The Toner Gauge section on the status page shows a progress bar for each color,  
which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.  
Starter Toner Containers  
The toner containers packed with the new printer are starter toner containers. The black  
starter toner container lasts an average of 12,500 monochrome pages. The cyan, magenta,  
and yellow starter toner containers last an average of 5,000 color images for each.  
Toner Kits  
It is strongly recommended to use the new Kyocera Mita TK-800 Toner Kit supplied from  
Kyocera Mita to prevent printer troubles and ensure a long printer life.  
The TK-800 Toner Kits are supplied in each of the following four colors. The letter  
following TK-800 describes the color of toner included in the container as follows:  
TK-800C  
TK-800M  
TK-800Y  
TK-800K  
Cyan  
Magenta

5.1 Toner Container Replacement  
5.1.2  
Understanding Messages Requesting Toner Container Replacement  
The printer displays messages for individual colors at two stages of toner usage. This  
message is automatically alternated with the other printer message (such as Ready):  
When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan container, the printer  
displays the message Toner low C, M, Y, Kas the first caution. Note the  
replacement is not always necessary at this stage.  
If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer displays the message  
Replace Toner— just before the toner is used up. The toner container must be  
replaced immediately. Clean the separate charger wires, etc. After the cleaning is  
finished, however, the message does not automatically change to Ready. To restart  
printing, you must press the GO key and make the printer ready.  
In either case, to replace the toner container, see Section 5.1 Toner Container Replacement

5.1 Toner Container Replacement  
5.1.3  
Replacing the Toner Container  
During toner container replacement, temporarily put storage media and computer  
supplies (such as floppy disks) away from around the toner container. This is to avoid  
damaging media by the magnetism of toner.  
Note  
This section explains how to replace the toner containers. When replacing the toner  
container of any color, always replace the waste toner box at the same time. If this box is  
full, the printer may be damaged or contaminated by the waste toner that may spill over the  
box.  
You do not have to turn printer power off before starting the replacement. Any data  
that may be under printing process in the printer will be deleted if you turn printer  
power off.  
Note  
To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner container requiring  
replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you are replacing the black toner container.  
Open the front cover.

RS-232C Protocol  
B.4.1 Parameters of the RS-232C Protocol  
A protocol is a set of rules followed by various devices to send or receive data. The  
parameters of the RS-232C protocol are stored in the battery-powered memory of the  
printer. You can verify these parameters on the status printout as marked by the following  
identifications:  
H1: Baud rate  
H2: Number of data bits  
H3: Number of stop bits  
H4: Parity  
H5: Protocol logic  
H6: Buffer-nearly-full threshold  
H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold  
H8: Received data buffer size  
The parameters can be changed from the printer operator panel. To change the value for the

H6: Buffer nearly-full threshold  
A percentage value from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 90.  
H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold  
A percentage value from 0 to 99. The factory setting is 70. The factory settings of the buffer  
nearly-full and nearly-empty thresholds (H6 and H7) are subject to change without notice.  
The difference between the nearly-full and nearly-empty thresholds allows the computer to  
send a fairly large amount of data in a continuous stream.  
H8: Received data buffer size  
The input buffer size is specified in increments of 100 kB. The factory setting is 5 (500 kB).  
B.4.2 PRESCRIBE FRPO D0 Command  
The PRESCRIBE FRPO D0 command is provided to allow manipulating XON/XOFF when  
an error has occurred on the serial interface. Table B-5 summarizes the error status  
corresponding to different D0 values.

RS-232C Cable Connection  
B.5.1 Preparing an RS-232C Cable  
After you procure an RS-232C cable, check its wiring against the pin assignments shown in  
page section B.1.2 Interface Signals on page B-3. If you have an IBM communications  
adapter cable type 1502067, use the procedure below to solder the wiring at the end (printer  
side) of the cable:  
Unscrew the plastic cover at the end (printer side) of the cable.  
1
A bare shield wire is provided for each wire in the cable. Solder all shield wires  
together into a single bundle.  
2
Connect the bundled shield wires to the connector metal face using a piece of flat  
cable about 3 mm wide and 15 mm long,. Make sure that the soldered connections  
are secure.  
3
Unsolder wires 2 and 3, then resolder them in a crossover configuration. In other  
words, solder wire 2 to pin 3 and wire 3 to pin 2. Cover the solder joints with a  
thermofit tube.  
4
Cut wires 4, 5, 6, and 20.  
5
Solder wires 5 and 6 together and connect them to pin 20. Cover the solder joints  
with a thermofit tube. Leave wire 4 unconnected.  
6
Tape all remaining loose ends together, or seal them with a thermofit tube.  
7
8
Screw the plastic cover back on the cable end.  
B.5.2 Connecting the Printer to the Computer  
Make sure that both computer and printer are powered off.  
Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a metal object such as a  
doorknob.  
1
Plug the end (printer side) of the RS-232C cable into the printer's serial interface  
connector and screw it on securely.  
2
Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s serial interface connector.  
3
4
Power on the printer.  
The printer’s parameters are set at the factory as follows:  
5
Baud rate = 9600 bps, data bits (character length) = 8, stop bits = 1, parity = none  
The two RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR. The printer executes both of  
these protocols simultaneously, using positive logic for DTR.

B.5 RS-232C Cable Connection  
If you are not sure about the printer’s current parameter settings, reset them to the  
values shown above (i.e., baud rate = 9600 bps, etc.). You can perform parameter  
settings from the operation panel. See Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section  
On the computer, set the same parameters as that of the printer. Most computers  
allow you to do this by DIP switch settings that should be made before power is  
turned on.
