granted you under this license.
The term “Programs” means the original and all whole or partial copies of
it, including modified copies or portions merged into other programs. IBM
retains title to the Programs. IBM owns, or has licensed from the owner,
copyrights in the Programs.
1. License
Under this license, you may use the Programs only with the device on
which they are installed and transfer possession of the Programs and
the device to another party.
If you transfer the Programs, you must transfer a copy of this license and
any other documentation to the other party. Your license is then
terminated. The other party agrees to these terms and conditions by its
first use of the Program.
You may not:
1. use, copy, modify, merge, or transfer copies of the Program except as
provided in this license;
2. reverse assemble or reverse compile the Program; or
3. sublicense, rent, lease, or assign the Program.

authorized supplier, has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. IBM will not be liable for any damages claimed by you based
on any third party claim. This limitation of remedies also applies to any
developer of Programs supplied to IBM. IBM's and the developer's
limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such developer is an
intended beneficiary of this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow
these limitations or exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
4. General
You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may terminate your
license if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this license.
In either event, you must destroy all your copies of the Program. You are
responsible for payment of any taxes, including personal property taxes,
resulting from this license. Neither party may bring an action, regardless
of form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If you
acquired the Program in the United States, this license is governed by

General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can
also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified
below.
Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that
occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can
result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in
extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below
will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-
free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper
intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and
premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease
with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the
smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in
which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less
risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the
level of quality your printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the
machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-
quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not
economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined
later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 31.9b).
Paper Specifications
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details
are given on the following pages:

Selecting the Right Paper
This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.
Condition
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn,
embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper
jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using
paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should
have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains
plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off
harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the
total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
Paper Sizes
Cassettes and the MP Tray are available for the paper sizes shown
below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and width.
The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
MP Tray:
Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6,
Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II,
Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, JIS B6,
Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to
216 × 356mm (2-13/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Cassette:
Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, A6 (only
for machine’s paper cassette), Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, Envelope C5, 16
kai, Custom (Paper Cassette: 105 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (4-1/8 × 5-
13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches), Paper Feeder: 148 × 210 to 216 × 356mm
(5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough
or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper
that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.
(Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis weight
Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter
(g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or
paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of
paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet
feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner
fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.9
lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59
lib/ream) for the MP tray.

Thickness
The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor
extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple
feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you
are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may
be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Moisture Content
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry
mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed
ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.
Loading Paper
2-5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the
room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs
moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.
When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the
edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.
Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The
moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.
To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a
controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:
•
•
Store paper in a cool, dry location.
Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper
that is not in use.
•
•
•
Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton
to separate it from the floor.
After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as
the machine for 48 hours before use.
Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.
Paper Grain
When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running
parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain).
Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper
used in the machine should be long grain.
Other Paper Properties
Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.
Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper
jams.
Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce
flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the
machine can correct their curling.
Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is
electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to
release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the
Output Tray.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness
of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged
edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can
cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper
supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do
not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable
supplier is usually correctly packaged.

Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)
Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)
Colored paper
Recycled paper
Overhead projector transparencies
Cardstock
Coated paper
Envelopes
Labels
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock,
coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,
special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during
printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off
during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample
on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Transparency
This printer is available for monochorome printing on transparencies.
Transparencies must be fed to the MP Tray. One transparency can be
loaded at a time.
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process.
Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge
towards the printer.
Labels
Labels must be fed to the MP Tray. One label can be loaded at a time.
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must
never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper
sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.
Label paper has a structure
comprising of three layers, as
shown in the diagram. The top
Top sheet (white
bond paper)
Adhesive
sheet is printed on. The
adhesive layer consists of
pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The carrier sheet (also called
the linear or backing sheet)
holds the labels until used.
Due to the complexity of its
composition, adhesive-
Carrier sheet
backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no
spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are
liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.

Postcards
Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. 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.
Envelopes
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in
the face-up position, right edge first.
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. Refer to Paper
when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes,
make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.
•
•
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.
•
•
If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.
To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the output tray.

Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the
MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place
and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth
them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
Note If the paper jams
even after you smooth it
out, load the paper in
the MP Tray with the
leading edge raised up
a few millimeters as
shown in the
illustration.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper.
used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond
must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process,
and must not be affected by silicone oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of
paper commonly used for calendars.
Recycled paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white

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
status:
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 Toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner
usage.
•
When the printer becomes low on toner, the Toner indicator flashes.
Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage.
•
If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the Toner
indicator lights up 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 (FS-1300D) or 4,000 pages (FS-1100).
Starter Toner Container
The toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner
container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 3,600 pages
(FS-1300D) or 2,000 pages (FS-1100).
Toner Kits
For best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera
Parts and Supplies.
A new toner kit contains the following items:
•
•
•
Toner Container
Plastic waste bag for old toner container

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.
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:

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
