Cassette mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When this mode is
used, approximately 200 sheets of plain paper can be fed con-
tinuously, the same as for the cassette. Cassette mode is spec-
ified as the factory setting, but you can change this setting
from the printer’s operator panel.
dpi (dots per inch)
This indicates the number of dots printed per inch, and is the
unit of printer resolution.
EcoPrint
This is a printing mode that controls toner consumption. Pag-
es printed in the Ecoprint mode are lighter than pages print-
ed in the normal mode. The default setting is Off.
Emulation
This refers to emulation of manufacturers’ printers. The print-
er emulates the operation of the following printers: PCL 6, KC-
GL, Line printer, IBM Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-
850, and KPDL.
Expansion memory
This option is used to increase printer memory. The printer
has two expansion sockets, into both of which you can install
a 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB DIMM (Dual Inline
Memory Module). See your Kyocera Mita dealer to purchase
the DIMM that is best suited for use with this printer.
First mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. If there is paper
inserted in the MP tray, the first paper will always feed from
there even if another paper source is selected.
IEEE1284
This is a standard used when connecting a printer to a com-
puter, and was established by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers in 1994.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
This is Kyocera Mita’s original smoothing function. It uses
software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce
high-quality printing. The default setting is On.
KM-NET VIEWER
This is a network management tool that can be used with the
Kyocera Mita FS series. You can view information for
printers connected to the network using SNMP commands.
KM-NET VIEWER is contained on the Kyocera Mita
Software Library CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
MB (mega byte)
This unit is used to express data quantities and memory ca-
pacities. 1 MB is equivalent to 1024 kB, or 1,048,576 bytes.
MP tray
This is an abbreviation for Multi-Purpose tray. The MP tray
is used instead of the cassette when printing on envelopes,
postcards, transparency sheets, and labels.
Offline
The printer can receive data, but cannot print. Turn the
printer online if you want to print.
Online
The printer can output received data.
Operator panel
This is located on the top of the printer. The panel consists of
the message display, three indicators and eight keys. The
message display shows the printer’s status. Press the keys
when you want to switch the printer between online and of-
fline status, or to cancel printing.
Outline font
With outline fonts, characters’ outlines are represented by
numerical expressions, and fonts can be enlarged, reduced, or
painted in different ways by changing the numeric values of
those expressions. Printing remains clear even if you enlarge
fonts, since the letters are defined by an outline. You can
specify font size in steps of 0.25 points up to 999.75 points.
Parallel Interface
With this interface, data transfer between the printer and the
computer takes place on 8-bit chunks. The printer can per-
form IEEE1284 compatible bi-directional communications.
