FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Key Features
A tandem colour solution combining a
small footprint, image quality, and
speed, with an economical price is a
winning formula for success in the
office environment. Kyocera has
accomplished this enviable
combination with the FS-C5020N and
FS-C5030N Colour Print Systems.
The FS-C5020/30N features 600 x 600
multi-bit dpi image quality with 16 and
24 pages per minute Full-Colour and
Monochrome output speeds respectively for each machine. The FS-C5020/30N
can be configured with Automatic Duplexing, a choice of Network Interface
Cards, additional 500 sheet paper Drawers, an Envelope Feeder, a 20GB Hard
Disk Drive, and additional memory to meet the demanding colour imaging
requirements of bottom-line conscious corporations.
Consider These Other Outstanding Features:
Small Footprint
Most tandem colour printers
are large in size to
accommodate four sets of
developing units and drums.
The FS-C5020N/30N
however, was intentionally
designed to be compact,
lightweight, and about the
same size as a standard
monochrome laser printer.
Plus, since the FS-C5020N
and FS-C5030N only weigh 22 and 23 kg respectively, and they have easy resin
grips, these machines doesn’t require two people to lift or move the devices.
Fast Printing
The FS-5020/30N possesses high-speed 16 and 24ppm printing with fast
processing of complex data so busy office workers don’t have to wait for their
output. What’s more, the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N maintain most of their
full-rated speed when duplexing! Users don’t have to compromise speed when
reducing paper consumption and document storage space.

High-Quality
In addition to Kyocera’s original Multi-Bit image processing technology, as an
enhancement over the FS-C5016N, Kyocera has developed and incorporated
Normal (2 bit) and Fine Colour (4 bit) Technology hardware and Intelligent
Colour Technology software in the FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N to create
smoother and consistent high-quality prints.
Standard Connectivity
The FS-C5020/30N supports TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk
protocols enabling communication to the Printer from network environments
such as; Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, NetWare, etc.
When used in conjunction with a customer’s eMail system, the FS-C5020/30N’s
networking supports advanced POP3 functionality allowing users from
anywhere in the world to output a document on the Printer by sending the file
as an eMail attachment.
Hard Disk Drive Storage
An optional 20GB Hard Disk Drive transforms the FS-C5020/30N from a Page
Printer to a Document Printer, and adds the following capabilities:
• Job Storage
• Quick Copy
• Private Print*
• Proof and Hold*
• Virtual Mailbox
* can be used when HDD is not installed by using Printer RAM
Variable Gloss
Virtually all Colour Copiers, Thermal Wax Transfer, and Colour Laser Printers
produce a glossy image. Although this is sometimes appealing when printing
photographic images, the majority of business users generate documents
containing text and charts. Furthermore, business documents require the ability
to make notations or corrections, which is virtually impossible when the output is
too glossy.

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Key Features
By activating the Glossy Mode setting within the FS-C5020N or FS-C5030N’s
Operation Panel or the KX Driver, users have the ability to print glossy output
for photographs or presentations. When generating business graphics or
working documents requiring editing, approval signatures, or comments, users
may choose Low-Gloss Mode to produce printed pages with less sheen or for
different presentation styles.
Note: The Variable Gloss setting can be adjusted to either High or Low. The output speed
of the FS-C5020/30N will be reduced when Gloss Mode is used. It is not available for
Transparencies.
ECOSYS Concept
The FS-C5020/30N is an ECOSYS Printer, which means it is
based on Ecology, Economy, and System. Kyocera is dedicated
to the welfare of the environment and developed the
FS-C5020/30N within the guidelines of the ECOSYS concept: they are
environmentally friendly because they eliminate unnecessary waste and utilise
long-life drums to significantly reduce their cost per page.
Although ECOSYS printers also include Monochrome, the concept has even more
impact in Colour devices because it provides a significant cost advantage, and
helps differentiate the FS-C5020/30N printers from the competition. The ECOSYS
concept makes a difference, not in specifications, but in overall concept. ECOSYS
printers are the only line of printers on the market developed with customer cost
savings in mind from inception to production.
Low CPP
With Kyocera’s long-life technology, and the FS-C5020/30N’s ECOSYS
technology, Full-Colour and Monochrome CPPs are very low.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
With sales of Colour Laser Printers on the rise, savvy organisations view TCO
as an important consideration during the acquisition process. However, the
majority of prospects only evaluate the initial acquisition price and pay little
attention to the consumable and long-term maintenance costs. Successful
sales representatives focus on this strategy as opposed to “speeds and feeds”
to distinguish themselves from their competitors.
Kyocera realised the significance of TCO and utilises long-life technology
and Maintenance Kits to ensure an aggressive TCO.
EcoPrint*
Using the FS-C5020/30N Operation Panel or the KX Driver, users can activate
EcoPrint Mode to reduce Monochrome and Full-Colour Toner consumption by
as much as 50%. This mode is a perfect way to further reduce TCO and can
be used when printing document drafts or any information not requiring high-
resolution. (Off, 75%, 50%)

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Key Features
EcoPower (Sleep Mode)
The FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N have a built-in a power-saving feature called
EcoPower - the period of time before the FS-C5020/30N enters a power-saving
or “Sleep” Mode. Adjustable from the Operation Panel or from the workstation,
the FS-C5020/30N is configured with a default factory setting of 15 minutes. In
addition to turning this feature “off”, users can adjust this setting from a range of
5 minutes to 240 minutes, in 5-minute increments.
Throughput Capabilities
Corporate Colour users are increasingly more demanding of Colour imaging
equipment. Features such as multiple paper sources, combined with the ability
to print onto a wider range of paper stock, sizes, and weights are becoming key
buying criteria with potential buyers.
Multi-Purpose Tray (MPT)
The MPT capacity is approximately 100 sheets. Stocks up to 200gsm ranging in
size from 70mm x 148mm to 216mm x 297mm can be fed through this paper
source.
MPT First Mode (Automatic Feeding from MPT)
Activation of this feature assigns highest priority to paper fed from this tray. If
the MPT contains paper, the first sheet is always selected and fed from this tray,
even when a user specifies paper to be fed from another tray. Once the MPT
paper supply is depleted, paper is taken from the original drawer selected in the
Driver when the job was sent to the Printer. Duplexing from the MultiPurpose
Tray is only available in First Mode. The MPT paper size and paper type must
be the same as those of the current paper cassette or a paper jam may occur.
Note: First Mode is NOT the Default Factory Setting.
Multiple Interfaces Mean Flexibility
The multiple interfaces available on the FS-C5020/30N makes this printer very
useful in corporate workgroups. The FS-C5020/30N has a Hi-Speed USB2.0
Port allowing users to easily connect a laptop PC anytime and print without
rebooting. Using the standard networking capability of the FS-C5020/30N,
users can print directly from the Internet or print an eMail attachment using
POP3 functionality. This means a salesperson traveling overseas can print to
either the FS-C5020N or the FS-C5030N in their office through the internet
using the device’s IP Address. In addition to these standard interfaces, the
optional IC159-WLAN Wireless Networking Board allows Printing without
troublesome cabling. This all adds up to a flexible, full-colour corporate
resource that no business should be without.

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Key Features
Photoconductive Drum Composition
All FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Printers utilise extremely efficient (OPC)
Organic Photo Conductor Drums (four separate imaging units) requiring
replacement after 200,000 images. This compares to competitive solutions
typically needing replacement between 7,000 and 40,000 images for full-colour,
and 3,000 and 13,000 images for monochrome
Consumable Characteristics
Kyocera has applied a high quality resin coating to the FS-C5020N and
FS-C5030N’s Carrier, which helps to maintain electrification characteristics and
minimises premature deterioration that can occur when toner particles adhere to
the Carrier. The addition of the resin coating provides a 200,000 high quality
image yield for the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N carrier versus competitive
Colour devices requiring a carrier/developer change every 40,000 images.
Enhancements to the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N from the FS-C5016N
Along with any product update, the FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N have
several enhancements incorporated into them to continue the success of these
products. These enhancements improve upon two major categories in which
customers consider when purchasing a colour printer: Productivity, and Quality.
To increase productivity Kyocera first decreased the time it takes for these
machines to calibrate to about 29 seconds. Users don’t have to wait as long for
their machines to calibrate. In addition, rather than have the calibration be
timed to perform every 80 pages and force the possibility of a calibration in the
middle of a job, the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N now perform their calibrations
at the end of their jobs anywhere in between 70 and 80 pages. The machine
will wait until that job is complete before it performs it’s calibration. (In between
70 and 80 pages)
In addition, Kyocera has focused on several quality enhancements. These
enhancements ensure that the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N have the highest
quality prints and reliability throughout their lives.
Another great enhancment, and new feature on the FS-C5020N and the
FS-C5030N includes the ability to view the CMYK colour coverage breakdown
of the last printed page. Now you can calculate and show exactly how much
demo originals will cost your prospect. Simply print a status page from the
“Others” menu. The coverage information is located at the bottom. See page
27 for more information on how to print a status page with either your FS-
C5020N or FS-C5030N

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Technology
The FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N achieve excellent image quality for users in
today's demanding office Colour environments. Kyocera utilises a combination
of technological enhancements to achieve consistent image quality regardless
of the print volume generated. These enhancements include:
Multi-Bit Technology
This dithering technique enables
the FS-C5020/30N to achieve
high-quality output when printing
a variety of images, especially
continuous-tone photographs.
Additional benefits of this
technology include:
• Sharper Text
• Virtual Elimination of
Banding
• Smoother Gradations
Kyocera Fine Colour Technology (FCT)
FCT consists of the following innovative Kyocera Mita developed processes:
Advanced Beam Array, Touch Down Development, and Belt Transfer.
Advanced Beam Array
This advanced method, which is superior to LED printing, contributes
to the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N’s small sizes. ABA can maintain
consistent crisp, sharp images because the Kyocera Advanced Beam Array
has controls to make uniform dots of light.
Touch Down Development
This unique system is based on the
combined advantages of mono (high-
quality) and dual (long-life)
component development. The
FS-C5020/30N’s Developing
Roller allows the toner to jump onto
the Drum, which increases drum life
and maintains high-quality imaging.
Belt Transfer
This Kyocera developed process significantly contributes to low TCO.
Since the paper never touches the Drum, wear and tear is reduced and
paper dust is eliminated, thus increasing the Drum life. In addition,
overlapping colours are consistently aligned since the four colour toners are
transferred to the paper at the same time. Plus, the Transfer Belt has a
tri-layer coating, which increases durability and smoother paper feeding.

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Product Guide
FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Technology
Kyocera Intelligent Colour Technology (ICT)
ICT has three components: High-Speed Data Processing, High Speed Image
Processing, and High-Image Quality.
High-Speed Data Processing
DDR SDRAM technology is the newly adopted memory method. Its data
transfer speed is twice as fast as existing SDRAM technology, which
contributes to the improvement of total print performance.
High Speed Image Processing
Improved RGB to CMYK colour conversion and image generation speed
allows faster processing of files containing colour images.
High-Image Quality
Documents containing a mixture of text, graphics, charts, graphs, and
photos are printed clearly and precisely because each unique page element
is processed independently to provide the highest image quality possible.
Environment Adoption Stabilisation System (EASS)
Maintaining consistent image quality when utilising Advanced Beam Array
technology is effortless with EASS. Fluctuations in environmental conditions
such as temperature and humidity can cause image quality to “drift” resulting in
the same image appearing differently when printed on two separate days.
Kyocera includes sensors and developed unique technology to adjust toner
concentration levels within the FS-C5020/30N, virtually guaranteeing consistent
image quality regardless of environmental conditions.
Oil-Less Fusing
Newly developed polymerised toner eliminates the need for an Oil Roller, which
reduces cost per print and service calls.
Colour Matching
With the FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N you can satisfy Colour matching
requirements by using the Colour Tab in the KX Driver. (covered later in this
guide) This function offers the ability to output a variety of ink and monitor
simulations.
Colour Control
For those who want to make more refinements to image quality, users have the
ability to make setting adjustments to Hue, Lightness, and Saturation within the
KX Driver. In addition, Colour Reproduction Modes such as Picture Image, Text,
Chart/Graphic, and four automatic modes can be specified within the Driver.
Automatic Colour Calibration
Another tool ensuring optimum image quality is Automatic Colour Calibration.
Calibration takes place when the FS-C5020/30N is powered on, when the
engine has been inactive, and during long print runs to maintain colour quality
and consistency. It can also be user requested at any time from the Control
Panel. When the FS-C5020/30N is calibrating, a Control Panel message states:
“Please Wait (Calibrating)”. The process is very brief, and is done to ensure that
the quality of Page 1 is as good as Page 3,001.

FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Productivity
Speed
In addition to creating a solution with output speeds of 16 and 2 pages per minute
respectively in Full-Colour and Monochrome, Kyocera has incorporated the following
components to enhance overall user productivity and efficiency.
Electronic Sort*
Electronic Sort provides Send Once - Print Many technology producing multiple sets
from one print job. This means a multi-page report is sent once - Send, RIP, Print,
Print, Print, etc., saving time and eliminating network traffic. Without Electronic Sort,
data is sent to the Printer for each set required - Send, RIP, Print, Send, RIP, Print, etc.
e-MPS
e-MPS is an abbreviation for “enhanced-Multiple Printing System” and requires the
installation of the optional 20GB HDD. e-MPS provides added convenience and
performance when using the Printer’s Control Panel to reprint and/or access
documents stored on the Hard Disk Drive. In addition to reducing network traffic,
e-MPS provides faster printing with less PC spooling time.
e-MPS capabilities include:
1. Quick Copy - Activation of this feature enables users to print additional sets of doc-
uments directly from the Printer without having to return to their workstation and re-
send the file to the Printer. The default number of print jobs able to be stored is 32.
This can be increased to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration Menu. When the maxi-
mum number of jobs has been reached, the oldest job will be overwritten. Users
can choose application defined or assign a custom name within the Print Driver.
Jobs are stored after printing, but deleted when the Printer is powered off.
2. Proof and Hold* - When this feature is activated, only the first set of a multiple set
document is printed, enabling users to proof the document before outputting the
remaining sets. After proofing, users have the ability to cancel or print the remain-
ing job from the Operation Panel. The default number of print jobs able to be held is
32. This can be increased to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration Menu. Jobs are
stored after printing, but deleted when the Printer is powered off.
3. Private Print* - When printing confidential documents, users can input a four digit PIN
from the KX Print Driver before sending their job to the Printer. The Printer will hold the
job(s) until the user enters the same four digit PIN into the Operation Panel to release
the job for printing. The number of jobs able to be stored using Private Print depends
on the free space remaining on the HDD. The jobs are automatically deleted after the
PIN is entered or when the Printer is powered off.
4. Job Storage - This timesaving feature enables users to store and recall frequently
printed documents; such as fax covers, directions, checklists, and order forms on
the Hard Disk Drive, and recall them using the Operation Panel. The number of jobs
able to be stored using this feature depends on the free space remaining on the HDD.
Jobs are stored after printing, and are not deleted when the Printer is powered off.
5. Virtual Mailbox - Part of Job Storage, Virtual Mailbox stores jobs on the Hard Disk
without printing. It enables users to retrieve jobs from the Operator Panel, or the
KM-NET Printer Disk Manager Utility (on the KM Driver Library CD). Up to 255
Virtual Mailboxes can be created. Each Mailbox may be used by an individual who
wants to share the Printer in this mode. By default, each Mailbox is numbered from
‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’ . . . etc. To ’post’ a job in a Mailbox, users assign a numbered
or named mailbox within the Print Driver when printing. Virtual Mailbox can be used
in PCL 6 emulation only.
* can be used when HDD is not installed by using Printer RAM

Total Counts System Solution
Using KM-NET Account Manager, accurate print counts are collected
electronically saving time, improving efficiency, and increasing productivity.
In addition, the total count is listed on the Status Page and is accessible from
the Control Panel.
Remote Maintenance System Solution
Using KM-NET@Service, customer meter readings are automatically collected
and sent via eMail to the designated dealer, improving customer relations by
offering prompt service activities.
Standard PDF Direct Printing
PDF, created by Adobe, is an acronym for Portable Document Format. It uses
the PostScript printer description language and is highly portable across
computer platforms. Since PDF files contain layout formatting, fonts, and
graphics from the original document, it is the ideal language for printers.
PDF has been widely accepted as the industry standard for document exchange
and publishing. They are created with Adobe Acrobat and can be viewed with
Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF reader programs. The FS-C5020N and the
FS-C5030N supports direct printing of PDF files, which means users can print a
PDF file without opening the application.

Expansion Memory
Each Printer is shipped with 128MB of memory (DDR SDRAM). To expand the
memory for more complex print jobs and faster processing (RIP) speeds,
optional DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules) may be installed in the two
memory slots provided on the Printer’s main board. Additional memory in 64,
128, 256, or 512MB modules can be installed by a technician.
Compact Flash Memory Slot
The FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N Printers are equipped with one Compact
Flash Card slot. Users requiring access to additional fonts not installed within
the Printer, can use an optional Font Card to add fonts to the device. The Font
Card is read, via commands found on the Control Panel, automatically when
“powering on,” or when resetting the Printer. Specific fonts to be placed into the
FS-C5020/30N Printer memory can be selected from the Operation Panel. In
addition, a Compact Flash Card can be used to store graphics such as logos
and letterhead information at the Printer, without requiring that data to be sent
over the network every time a document is printed. (Supports cards up to
256MBs.)
Hard Disk Drive (HD-ME4)
The optional 20GB Hard Disk Drive installed in the KUIO slot can be used to
store print jobs, fonts, macros, reduce the frequency of data sent from the
workstation to the Printer, and enable e-MPS (enhanced Multiple Printing
System) capabilities, and allow Electronic Sort.
Adding the Hard Disk Drive converts the FS-C5020/30N from a Page Printer to a
Document Printer. Since the print job is sent only once for multiple sets, network
traffic and computer spooling time are dramatically reduced.
Network Interface Cards
IB-11
The IB-11 supports the connection of RS-232C Serial devices.
IC159-WLAN
The IC159-WLAN is the IEEE 802.11b Wireless interface
card that allows users of laptops or mobile devices to print
to the FS-C5020N or FS-C5030N without physically connecting to the
network.

interface).
Printing a Status Page
Unlike a Copier, what’s installed within a Printer, such as additional RAM or a
Hard Disk Drive, cannot be determined by merely looking at the device.
Therefore, Printing a Status Page provides the user a variety of important
information about the that device. The status page also shows the user what
the CMYK colour coverage breakdown.
To print out a Status Page, follow these simple steps:
1. Press “Menu Key” on the
FS-C5020N of FS-C5030N
Operation Panel.
2. Press the right arrow until
“Print Status Page” appears.
3. Press the “Enter” Key two times.
4. The message “Processing”
followed by “Ready” will appear
on the panel as the Status Page
is generated.
To view the CMYK Colour Coverage
breakdown, Under “Services”, advance
to “Others”, then right to “Print Status
Page”. Press “Enter” twice.

To assist in understanding the capabilities of this feature, consider how a
document is printed on a company letterhead on a common Page Printer. The
user is required to walk to the Printer, load pre-printed letterhead stock, return to
their workstation, print the document, walk to the Printer, and finally return to
their desk.
Activation of Prologue/Epilogue Feature enables
users to call for the electronic version of an invoice
or letterhead, previously stored on a Compact
Flash Card inserted into the FS-C5020/30N.
By using Prologue/Epilogue Mode, users can write
simple PRESCRIBE command files to call out
various forms. System Administrators can then use
these files to create Printer Icons (company-wide)
with the PRESCRIBE file embedded within the
Prologue/Epilogue Tab. For example: When users
print to the Invoice Printer, their document would
print on the Invoice Form stored on the Compact
Flash Card without having to load pre-printed stationary into the Printer.
Advantages of PRESCRIBE include:
• Elimination of printing and storing stationary
• Ability to update stationary electronically
• Reduction of data sent over the network (forms reside on Compact
Flash Cards)
• Elimination of loading pre-printed stationary into the printer before
each print job
Watermark Tab
Users can choose to
apply watermarks to
documents either on All

PrintSystem Utilities
Kyocera Digital Library CD-ROM
The Kyocera Mita Digital Library offers the most current printer drivers, software
utilities and reference manuals. The Library CD contains the following components:
¡ Install Drivers
¡ Driver Tools
¡ Printer Utilities
¡ Networking
¡ Installation Notes
¡ Select Language
The latest Drivers and Utilities are also available on the internet at
Driver Emulations
Kyocera printer drivers support PCL and KPDL emulations. PCL, or Printer
Command Language was developed by Hewlett Packard® (HP) to provide a
simple and effective method for controlling a printer. In this language, the printer
commands appear as embedded escape sequence codes in the print job data
interpreted by the printer. Kyocera PCL drivers allow for font scaling, outline
fonts, and vector graphic printing. PCL is not supported on Macintosh and UNIX
based systems. Note: The factory default emulation for Kyocera printers is PCL.
If the selected printer driver does not match the printer emulation, the printer
emulation must be set for PCL, KPDL or KPDL (Auto) at the printer's front
panel.
PCL 5c
Kyocera colour drivers utilize the PCL 5c colour printer language. This printer
command language supports the commands necessary for colour printing, and
supports PJL (Printer Job Language) commands, which allow for bi-directional
communication between the printer and the computer. PCL 5c also provides
complete backwards driver compatibility with earlier PCL versions, and offers a
wide selection of fonts for use with Microsoft Windows applications.
PCL XL
Kyocera XL printer drivers utilize the PCL 6 printer language. PCL XL drivers
offer improved graphics printing, reduced file sizes, better print speeds, and
faster return to application than the PCL 5e driver. Drawbacks include no
backwards compatibility and the fact that not all Kyocera printer models support
XL printer drivers.
KPDL
Kyocera Page Description Language (KPDL) represents Kyocera's emulation of
PostScript printing. Because the printer is set to a factory default of PCL, you
must change the emulation from the printer's control panel or send the printer a
command. PostScript print drivers have strong graphics reproduction
performance and usually print slower than PCL drivers.

Driver Tools
Kyocera Driver Deleter
The Kyocera Driver Deleter Utility quickly removes a Printer Driver, its
corresponding files, and Registry entries from a Windows based PC. It runs
directly from the CD and displays a simple tree view of all installed printers on
the system, the printer's files, registry entries, orphaned files, and OEM files. To
uninstall, select the desired driver from the Printers section in the registry tree
then press the Delete Key. The Uninstaller can remove one, or multiple printers
from a system at the same time.
Install Optional Printer Components
This utility allows the installation of additional components such as Common
Profiles, ICM Profiles, Localized Help Modules, or TrueType Fonts based on the
driver installed.
Printer Utilities
KM-NET Printer Disk Manager
This Utility manages the Job Storage features
available when using an optional Hard Disk or
a RAM Disk. From a desktop computer, the
Printer Disk Manager monitors and manages
the Virtual Mailboxes and Job List items on
these storage devices.
The Printer Disk Manager may also be used to
monitor, access, and manage other optional
printer data storage devices, such as a Memory
Card, Compact Flash, or a MicroDrive.
Printer Disk Manager can be used with
multiple printers connected locally (LPT, COM)
and over a network (TCP/IP, IPX).
To ensure proper security, the Printer Disk
Manager requires an Administrator Password
to operate after installation. An Administrator
Password must be defined during the software
installation process, but may later be modified
within the Utility.

PrintSystem Utilities
IC Link for Windows
The IC Link Utility assembles and organizes all of the necessary components to
create an IC Card project (PCMCIA/JEIDA, standard 4.0). Once assembled, the
utility formats the components and transfers them onto an IC Card inserted into
a locally connected printer. The IC Card contains the project information that will
be read into printer memory upon power-up. The removable IC Card can be
moved from one printer to another.
The IC Card project components include:
¡ Font data (TrueType, KPDL, etc.)
¡ Host data (forms, logos, signatures)
¡ Macros, Program data (PRESCRIBE, PCL, KPDL)
¡ Message data (to change the printer's Message Language setting).
The IC Link Utility enables you to download data directly to the printer's optional
Hard Disk and EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Data on
these alternative storage devices can be managed in the same manner as the
IC Cards, with the exception of Message data, which cannot be transferred.
IC Link for Windows can import DOS-based IC Link projects and manage, edit
and delete information on previously used IC Cards. However, IC Link projects
cannot be opened in DOS-based IC Link.
IC Link Benefits:
1. Facilitates the upgrade of firmware by managing new data the distribution.
2. Converts graphic information to PRESCRIBE Macro format for electronic
forms management
3. Distributes MACRO information to a resident storage device on the
Printer.

PDF Direct Print Utility
PDF Direct Print is standard on the FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N allowing
PDF eMail attachments to be printed without having to detach and open the file.
PDF Direct Print allows any PDF file to be printed simply by choosing the file
within the KM-NET Direct Print Dialog Box. In addition, users can choose the
Number of Copies, Collate, Layout (Fit to Page, Booklet, Catalogue), N-Up,
Paper Size, Single or Double Sided, Resolution, and EcoPrint.
Life Counters
Users can access the Total Print Counter under the Colour Mode Menu - Life
Counters, or by printing the Status Page. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black
Toner Counter information can also be found under Life Counters.
Individual Toner Counters
The life of each toner cartridge is illustrated on the Status Page using a gauge
ranging from 100 (indicated toner is full) down to 0. Having access to this data
will enable users to pro-actively add toner when needed before starting a large
print job.
Note: To ensure accuracy of each meter, a simple procedure must be followed.
If the Operation Panel shows “Low Toner” and the toner is replaced, the user must reset
the colour meter for that toner through the Operation Panel. If the user continues to use
the Printer when the toner level is low, the Printer will stop printing when the toner is
depleted and “Replace Toner” will display on the Operation Panel. When the toner is
replaced after receiving this message, the meter is automatically reset without user inter-
vention.
