Introduction  
Introduction  
The Kyocera laser 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.  
Superb print quality  
With an amorphous silicon drum, microfine ceramic toner, and the latest technology from Kyocera  
such as KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) function*, this laser printer delivers superb print  
quality and clarity. (*See page 2-31.)  
Ultra long life modules  
The main modules in this laser printer such as the drum, developer unit and fuser unit, which are  
disposable in conventional printers, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need  
no periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally benign.  
The only maintenance regularly needed therefore is to replenish the toner supply in the developer  
approximately every 10,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20 and approximately every  
20,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20H (A4 portrait at a printing rate of approximately 5%)  
and to clean some parts inside the printer.  
Amorphous silicon drum  
Kyocera’s own unique ceramics technology has led to the development of an extremely hard and  
durable drum with extraordinarily long service life. Also, the drum has several excellent  
photoconductive properties, such as stability and reliability in varying temperatures, resistance to  
heat and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution printing.

Introduction  
High speed printing  
A3-size pages typically print at a rate of 11 pages per minute, B4 at 12.5 pages per minute, and A4  
(landscape feed) at 20 pages per minute (when printing multiple copies of the same page). (Actual  
printing time varies depending on what is being printed.)  
Environmentally benign waste parts  
The toner container is made out of a benign, flammable material. (Be sure to dispose of  
containers according to local laws and regulations.)  
Large paper capacity cassettes  
The paper cassette can hold approximately 250 sheets (75 g/m2, 0.1 mm thickness). There is also  
a multi-purpose tray with a capacity of approximately 100 sheets. Paper can be output on a face-  
down output tray or an optional face-up output tray (PT-3).  
Scalable printing  
This printer allows reductions between various paper sizes using the page setup function.  
Bitmapped and scalable typefaces  
In addition to its 80 internal bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces  
that are equivalent to HPLJ fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to  
999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.  
A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE 2e  
PRESCRIBE 2e includes advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable  
outline shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills,  
gray-scale shading, a user-accessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print  
directions within the same page.

Introduction  
PDF417 two-dimensional bar code  
The printer includes the capability that allows the user to implement the two-dimensional stacked  
bar code symbology, PDF417, or Portable Data File 417. This expanded functionality is achieved  
by using the PRESCRIBE IIe language commands.  
KPDL (Kyocera Printer Description Language)  
The printer is equipped with KPDL (Kyocera's implementation of the PostScript page description  
language) and Adobe PostScript Type 1 compatible 35 fonts.  
Automatic rotation of fonts and graphics  
Images and scalable fonts are automatically rotated to match the page orientation.  
A wide variety of internal symbol sets  
The printer supports most Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5M compatible symbol sets for both bitmap  
and scalable fonts.  
Display of printer messages in any of three languages  
English, French, or German. As an option it is also possible to download the messages in other  
languages. Please contact your Kyocera dealer.

1.1. Positioning the Printer  
Basic requirements  
The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:  
Near the computer  
If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to the computer, the connecting cable should  
be shielded type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).  
Level and well supported  
Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or  
table. The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage to the printer.  
Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone (see section Power  
Supply on next page).  
Power requirements are:  
120 V (U.S.A./Canada), 220 V to 240 V (European countries), ±10 % at  
each voltage  
Voltage  
60 Hz (120 V/220 V to 240 V), ±2 %  
50 Hz (220 V to 240 V), ±2 %  
Frequency  
Current capacity  
Max. 8 A at 120 V, or Max. 4 A at 220 V to 240 V  
The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be used.  
If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power cord plus extension should be 5 meters  
(17 feet) or less.  
Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry  
Temperature  
Humidity  
10˚C to 32.5˚C (50˚F to 90.5˚F)  
20% to 80%  
If you install the printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the above ranges, you may  
not get the best print quality, and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.

Chapter 1 Installing the Page Printer  
Power Supply  
The printer should not be on the same power circuit as an air conditioner, fluorescent light, copier,  
or shredder, because these devices generate electrical noise on the power line. If it must share a  
power circuit with equipment like this, a high-frequency noise filter or isolation transformer is  
advisable. (Filters and transformers are available commercially.)  
Avoid using plug multipliers to connect a large number of devices on the same circuit as the  
printer.  
If the power from the outlet itself appears to be unstable, a line stabilizer should be used. In places  
where the voltage tends to fluctuate, it may be necessary to install a voltage regulator.  
As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer’s AC primary circuit, an easily  
accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment.  
Da kein Trennschalter in den Wechselstrom-Primärkreis des Druckers eingebaut ist, muß  
eine leicht zugängliche Steckdose in der Nähe des Gerätes vorhanden sein.

1.6. Memory Card  
1.6. Memory Card  
A memory card is a microchip card containing, for example, nonresident fonts and/or macros,  
forms, etc. The printer reads the contents of the card into its internal memory when power is  
switched on. The presence of this data in the printer memory can be confirmed on the status  
printout.  
Note  
The maximum card capacity that can be used is 32 Megabytes. The type of the memory card to be  
used must be of either flash memory card (+5 V type) or SRAM-type and conform to the PCMCIA  
2.1 (JEIDA 4.2) standards. Please use memory cards recommended by Kyocera.  
The memory card slot is located at the bottom right of the printer.  
To insert and use a memory card:  
1. Switch printer power off.  
Note  
Do not insert or remove a memory card while power is on. If the memory card is removed while the  
printer is on, damage could result in the printer’s electronics or the memory card.  
2. Insert the memory card in the slot. Insert it face up, connector end first. Push it in all the way.

By using the printer’s >Resource prot., you can select from two resource protection modes as  
follows:  
>Resource prot.  
Permanent  
In this mode, the printer stores fonts, macros, symbol sets, etc. in memory that were downloaded  
as permanent PCL resources. All temporary resources are lost when the emulation mode is  
changed from HP LaserJet 5M to another or vice versa.  
>Resource prot.  
Perm / Temp  
In this mode, the printer stores both permanent and temporary resources when the emulation  
mode is changed from HP LaserJet 5M to another or vice versa.  
Note  
The printer requires 10 MB or more of memory in order to set resource protection. (14 MB or more  
is required when a DU-25 duplexer is installed.)

the printer, including the printer’s resident fonts, and symbol  
sets.

3.1. Resident Fonts  
3.1. Resident Fonts  
A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Several  
characteristics identify a font. These include the font type (bitmap, scalable, or KPDL), symbol set,  
spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.  
The printer provides three types of resident fonts: bitmap fonts, scalable (outline) fonts, and  
KPDL fonts. Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printer’s memory from a memory card or disk.  
These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. The printer accepts as many  
downloadable fonts as its user available memory permits.  
Bitmap fonts  
A bitmap font is made of a fixed bit pattern (Figure 3.1.). This pattern is stored in a special format  
for use in the printer. Bitmap fonts have a fixed height (size) for each character. Therefore, different  
font sets are required for different font sizes. For example, Dutch801BM10-Roman is a 10-point  
font and Dutch801BM8-Roman is an 8-point font.  
Figure 3.1. Bitmap Font Character  
Scalable fonts  
Scalable fonts provide the outline of the characters (Figure 3.2.). This outline is scaled according to  
the scaling information from the computer and filled in for printing. Depending on the capabilities of  
the software you use, the scalable fonts can be scaled from 0.25 point to 999.75 points in quarter  
point increments.

the printer by using the printer’s control panel key. To print a list of fonts, refer to Mode Select  
Menu, List of Resident fonts.  
Bitmap Fonts  
Scalable Fonts  
KPDL Fonts  
The printer has 80 resident bitmap fonts. Note that all resident bitmap fonts include the letters BM  
in the typeface name.  
The printer has 45 resident scalable fonts. These fonts include the letters SWC or SWM in the  
typeface name and are equivalent to HP LaserJet 5M fonts.  
The printer has 35 KPDL (Kyocera Page Description Language: Kyocera’s version of PostScript),  
KPDL fonts are Adobe PostScript Type 1-compatible, and have the suffix SWA at the end of the  
font name.

3.3. Symbol Set  
3.3. Symbol set  
A symbol set is the set of alphabetical and numerical characters and symbols the printer prints.  
Each character is assigned to a particular character code.  
The page printer offers not only a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts but also a large  
selection of symbol sets (also referred to as character sets). This is because the printers the  
Kyocera page printer emulates have a number of their own symbol sets for printing in different  
languages and other purposes. Most of those symbol sets are the same regarding the letters of  
the alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation marks, but they differ considerably in their special  
symbols which lie in the upper half of the character code table, consisting of character codes 128  
through 254 (hex 80 through FE).  
The symbol set selection can also be made from the printer’s control panel. See Mode Select  
Menu on the last page in this manual.

Maintenance  
This printer is designed to provide years of trouble-free  
service without the necessity of printer module replacement.  
However, you must replace the toner container in the printer  
with a replacement container from a new toner kit. Also, to  
ensure good print quality, various parts inside the printer  
must be cleaned at regular intervals.

4.1. Toner Kit Replacement  
4.1. Toner Kit Replacement  
The toner container in the printer should be replaced as soon as the message display shows  
Toner low TK-20 Clean printeror soon after. If you continue to use the printer, eventually  
the toner supply will be exhausted at which point the printer will stop printing and the Replace  
Toner Clean printermessage will be shown instructing you to install a new toner kit.  
If the printer stops and the message Replace Toner Clean printerappears in the message  
display, continue printing after replacing the toner with a new toner kit and cleaning the inside of  
the printer.  
Toner kit replacement interval  
The life of the toner container will vary according to the density of print in your documents. If you  
print documents with an actual toner coverage of approximately 5% (A4 or letter size, landscape  
feed and with the Ecoprint mode* turned off), the toner container will need replacing approximately  
once every 10,000** pages (A4 or letter size, 20,000 pages with the TK-20H.)  
*
Turning the Ecoprint mode ON conserves toner. Refer to Chapter 2 for details.  
** In the case of a new printer in which a toner kit has been installed for the first time, the number  
of pages that can be printed will be 5,000 or less.

The Paper jammessage is displayed on the message display when paper becomes stuck in the  
paper transport system, the paper feed timing is incorrect, or paper fails to feed at all. The jam can  
be corrected by removing the paper.  
The printer goes off-line when the Paper jammessage is displayed.  
Compare the symbol on the front panel that is flashing to Figure 5.1 and take the appropriate  
action listed below:

5.6. Correcting a Paper Jam  
When the jammed paper has been removed, open and close the printer’s top cover or the paper  
feed unit. Then the printer automatically warms up, goes on-line, and continues printing.  
Depending on the point at which the jam occurred, the printer may or may not print the jammed  
page.  
If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace with paper from another  
ream, turn the stack of paper over, or turn the paper the other way around. Read the information in  
Appendix B. Also, look for tiny pieces of paper that may have been torn off and overlooked when  
the jammed paper was removed.  
If you cannot solve the problem by changing the paper, there may be a problem with the printer.  
Call a service person.  
Note  
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 jam recovery.  
The fuser unit inside the printer is hot. Do not touch it with your hands as it may result in burn  
injury. Remove jammed paper carefully.

Note  
Take care when removing paper as the printer interior may be hot and there are protrusions inside  
which may possibly result in burning or other injury.

B.1. General Guidelines  
B.1.General Guidelines  
Although the page printer is designed for printing on standard dry PPC photocopier copy paper  
(standard paper), it can print on various types of paper that conforms to the specifications given in  
this chapter.  
Select paper carefully as use of paper inappropriate for the printer may result in paper jams or  
wrinkling of output paper. Low-quality paper may reduce printing quality, not only wasting paper  
but possibly leading to damage to the printer. It is possible to achieve efficient printing with few  
problems and minimize the risk of printer damage or wear by following the precautions listed  
below.  
Usable Paper  
Be sure to use copy paper (standard paper) used in standard dry PPC photocopiers.  
Note  
Some recycled paper does not meet the necessary specifications of Table B.1. for use in this  
printer due to conditions such as stored water and pulp content. Before purchasing recycled  
paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory. Be sure to select  
a brand of recycled paper which offers good printing quality and does not contain excessive levels  
of paper dust.  
There are differences in grade between each paper manufacturer, and these differences can affect  
printer operations. Satisfactory printing results cannot be obtained through the use of poor-quality  
paper. Even inexpensive paper may turn out to be uneconomical from a result standpoint if its  
quality is inappropriate for the printer.

B.2. Selecting the Right Paper  
B.2.Selecting the Right Paper  
The following sections explain the basic things to look for when selecting paper.  
Keep these things in mind when selecting paper.  
Condition of the Paper  
Avoid using paper that is folded at the corners, curled, dirty, stained, has fuzzy fibers, rough  
surface or is easily torn.  
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can  
shorten the life of the printer. Select paper which has as smooth and even a surface as possible.  
Note that use of paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment may damage the drum or  
fuser unit.  
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, and may damage the drum.  
Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content should  
consist of cotton or other fibers.

B.2. Selecting the Right Paper  
Smoothness  
Although it is important to use paper with a smooth and even surface, do not use paper which has  
been coated. Paper that is too smooth, can cause multiple feeding and paper jams.  
Basis Weight  
Thickness  
Basis weight is the weight of one square meter sheet of paper. Paper that is too light or too heavy  
can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause  
multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The  
proper weight is 60 to 90 g/m2 for regular paper and 90 to 200 g/m2 for thick paper.  
The paper used with the printer should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are  
having problems with multiple feeds and paper jams, the paper may be too thin. The paper may  
also be too thick if you are having problems with paper jams. The proper thickness is 0.086 to  
0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Appendix B Paper Selection  
Moisture Content  
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture  
can affect feedability, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.  
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 misfeeding and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the  
paper should be 4% to 6%.  
To ensure the proper moisture content it is important to store the paper in a controlled  
environment. Some tips on moisture control are:  
Store paper in a dry, well-ventilated location.  
Keep the paper flat and in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap 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.  
Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.

B.2. Selecting the Right Paper  
Stiffness  
Paper that is too limp or too stiff may fold or bend inside the printer, resulting in a paper jam.  
Curl  
Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction or the other if it is stored unwrapped.  
Paper will curl slightly upward when it passes through the fuser unit. Load the paper with its  
natural curl downward so that it will come out flat.  
Electrostatic properties  
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.  
Quality control  
Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and  
crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. Pay particular  
attention to these considerations if you are choosing paper yourself.  
Packaging  
Select paper that is wrapped by the ream and then placed in a box. The best wrapping is one  
whose inner surface is coated to protect again humidity.

B.3. Special Paper  
B.3.Special Paper  
This section explains printing on special paper.  
The page printer can use the following types of special paper.  
(1) Colored paper  
(2) Preprinted paper  
(3) Overhead projector transparencies  
(4) Postcards  
(5) Envelopes  
(6) Labels  
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products that are specified for use with  
photocopiers and/or page printers. Feed paper other than colored paper or pre-printed paper from  
the MP (multi-purpose) 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. Special paper may be used with this printer if  
it meets the following conditions. Note that these types of paper differ greatly in their construction  
and quality, resulting in an increased chance of problems occurring during printing. No liability will  
be assumed if moisture etc. given off in printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or  
operator.  
Note  
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing  
quality is satisfactory.

Appendix B Paper Selection  
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.  
Colored Paper  
Colored paper should meet the same specifications as listed for white bond paper in page B-3. In  
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the temperature during printing.  
Preprinted Paper  
The paper base of preprinted paper should meet basic specifications. The preprinted ink must be  
able to withstand the temperature during printing and must not be susceptible to the effects of  
silicon oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper  
commonly used for calendars.  
Overhead Projection (OHP) Film  
OHP film must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. Specifications  
are as follows.  
Note  
Note that use of OHP film which does not meet these conditions may result in damage to the  
printer.

Notes  
When using OHP film, set the Paper typesetting on the Mode Select Menu to Extra thick  
and feed the OHP film one at a time from the multi-purpose tray.  
Do not use film made from anything other than polyester.  
Postcards  
Envelopes  
Use postcards weighing 90 to 128 g/m2. Avoid using postcards whose printing surface has been  
coated. Any postcards of size 100 mm by 148 mm or larger may be used.  
Envelopes made from paper weighing 60 to 79 g/m2 may be printed using this printer.  
Envelopes are not of even thickness due to their folded construction. It therefore may not be  
possible to print evenly on an envelope surface in some cases. Envelopes which are particularly  
thick may wrinkle as they come out of the printer. Test a sample envelope on the printer and check  
that printing quality is satisfactory before purchasing.  
Envelopes with exposed adhesive cannot be used regardless of their type. Envelopes which use  
peel-off strips to cover adhesive also cannot be used as this little strip coming off inside the printer  
can result in major damage.  
Envelopes which have been specially treated also cannot be used. For example, envelopes with  
string attached for sealing, envelopes with open windows, and envelopes with film covered  
windows cannot be used with this printer.

Appendix B Paper Selection  
Labels  
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact  
with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer.  
Label paper must be manually fed.  
Label paper has a structure comprising three layers, as shown below. The top 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 use. Due to the complexity of its composition,  
adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give trouble in printing.  
Top sheet (white bond paper)  
Adhesive  
Carrier sheet  
Adhesive-back label  
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the  
individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious jam problems.  
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the edge. Do not  
remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.

C.3. RS-232C/RS-422A Protocol  
H7: Buffer nearly-empty threshold  
This is a percentage 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 notification.  
The gap 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  
This is the size of the input buffer, specified in units of 10 K bytes. The factory-set value is 6  
meaning 60 K bytes.  
PRESCRIBE IIe FRPO D0 command  
The PRESCRIBE IIe FRPO D0 command is provided to allow manipulating XON/XOFF when an  
error has occurred on the serial interface. The following table summarizes the error status  
corresponding to different D0 values.

C.4.RS-232C Cable Connection  
Preparing an RS-232C Cable  
After obtaining an RS-232C cable, check that it is wired correctly, referring to the pin assignment  
table in Appendix C. If you have an IBM communication adapter cable type 1502067, you will have  
to resolder the wiring at the printer end of the cable. The procedure is as follows.  
1. Unscrew the plastic cover from the printer end of the cable.  
2. Next to each of the wires inside the cable is a bare shield wire. Solder all these shield wires  
together into a single bundle.  
3. Using a section of flat wire about 3 mm wide and 15 mm long, connect the bundle of shield  
wires to the metal facing of the connector. Check that the solder connections are secure.  
4. Desolder wires 2 and 3, then resolder them in crossed configuration. Solder wire 2 to pin 3 and  
wire 3 to pin 2. Cover the solder joints with thermofit tube.  
5. Cut wires 4, 5, 6, and 20.  
6. Solder wires 5 and 6 together and connect them to pin 20. Cover the solder joints with thermofit  
tube. Leave wire 4 unconnected.  
7. Tape all remaining loose ends, or seal them with thermofit tube.  
8. Screw the plastic cover back on.

C.4. RS-232C Cable Connection  
Connecting the Printer to the Computer  
1. Check that the power of both the printer and computer is switched off.  
2. Discharge yourself by touching a metal object such as a doorknob.  
3. Remove the plastic cap from the printer’s RS-232C interface connector.  
4. Plug the printer end of the RS-232C interface cable into the printer’s RS-232C connector and  
screw it in place.  
5. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s RS-232C interface connector.  
6. Switch on the printer’s power.  
7. The printer’s RS-232C parameters are factory-set to the following values:  
Baud rate=9600 bps, Data bits (character length)=8 bits, Stop bits=1, Parity=None  
The two RS-232C protocols are XON/XOFF and DTR. The printer performs both of them  
simultaneously, using positive logic for DTR.  
If you are uncertain as to the printer’s current parameter settings, you can reset them to the  
values listed above by following the manner described in the last page in this manual.  
C-18

Appendix C Host Computer Interface  
8. Set the computer to the same parameters as the printer. On many computers this can be done  
by setting DIP switches before power is turned on. Another method is as follows:  
In DOS, enter the following commands:  
C>MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P  
C>MODE LPT1:=COM1  
To test the interface, then enter:  
CTRL P  
C>DIR  
CTRL P  
The software settings made by the procedures above are temporary. On most computers,  
permanent settings must be made with DIP switches.  
If you want to use a different baud rate or change any of the other RS-232C parameters, you  
can use the printer’s FRPO (firmware reprogram) command. See the Programming Manual for  
details.
