The FS-1600+/FS-3600+ is a page printer from Kyocera with

an attractive range of functions. in its development
were both aspects of environmental protection and newest
Technological knowledge in the field of side printing processes is
taken into account. Some of its special advantages are listed
below:

maintenance

Compact design — Thanks to the integration of the paper

tray, the FS-1600+/FS-3600+ takes up as little space as
a normal computer.

Particularly durable modules — The main modules for the

Image development and printing such as the
The drum, the developer unit and the fuser unit guarantee
long-term trouble-free operation and must
are not exchanged regularly. The drum is made
made of particularly environmentally friendly amorphous silicon
and remains in the printer as a permanent component. The
only regular maintenance work is to
10,000 pages to refill the toner in the developer unit and to
clean certain parts inside the printer.
Amorphous silicon drum — Thanks to the ceramic material
specially developed by Kyocera, this printer's drum is
extremely hard and resistant
due to its exceptional longevity. In addition
the drum has outstanding photoconductive properties
such as stability and reliability in the face of temperature
fluctuations, resistance to heat and solvents, etc., which
ensure high-resolution printouts with great reliability.

Excellent print quality — With a resolution of

At 600 DPI, the FS-1600+/FS-3600+ almost achieves
typesetting quality. In addition, the special "Kyocera Image
Refinement" is incomparably sharp even at 300 DPI
and even print.
High speed — A4 pages are copied at speeds of 10 or
18 pages per copy in copy mode
minute printed. (The time it takes to print one page
varies depending on the complexity of the expression.)
Standard bi-directional parallel port —
Supports data exchange with the calculator in high
speed mode.
Large paper capacity — The printer includes a paper
cassette with a capacity of 250 sheets (75 g/m2
basis weight, 0.1 mm thickness). In addition, the

printed side up or down.

Large selection of printing material — In addition to

plain paper, the printer also processes different types and
Sizes of special print material such as B. Envelopes,
Stickers and foils for overhead projectors.

environmental aspects

Development from an environmental point of view — avoiding waste

and protecting the environment were key factors in the development of the
FS-1600+/FS-3600+ the most important development
conditions in addition to the economic and system-technical
aspects.
CFCs — KYOCERA Corporation's manufacturing facilities
in Japan have banned the use of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons)
in the manufacture of electronic equipment since January
1, 1993. There are also no components made of selenium or
cadmium use.
Minimal Ozone Emission — The FS-1600+/FS-3600+ does
not operate with intense negative energy like many laser printers

tion of the corotron and therefore produces only one extremely

small amount of ozone gas. The ozone emission is below 0.02
ppm and thus meets the MAK value (maximum workplace
concentration) of 0.1 ppm.
Packing Materials — The Packing Materials
are free of styrofoam parts. Only undyed ones find it
Cardboard boxes and PE foil use.
Sleep mode saves energy — Sleep mode saves energy when
the printer is not in use. the
FS-1600+/FS-3600+ meets EPA (Energy
Protection Agency) to obtain EnergyStar.

In principle, the EPA™ does not

make any recommendations
in favor of a company
or its products.

Zero Noise — The FS-1600+ generates in

Sleep mode no noise - 0 dB (A).
No consumables except toner — it just has to
the toner containers have to be changed approx. every 10,000
pages. By using the particularly durable drum,
Developer unit and fuser unit eliminates the regular
replacement of these components.
Toner savings through ECOprint mode — The ECOprint
mode reduces the toner consumption in the settings
Light, medium and dark significantly again.
Non-Hazardous and Environmentally Sound Waste — The
toner container is made of a material that does not emit gases
that are hazardous to your health when burned. the
toner used is non-toxic. This is proven by safety data
Sheets, as well as an existing AMES test. The drum in
FS-1600+/FS-3600+ consists of an aluminum cylinder
with a light-sensitive layer of doped, amorphous silicon. The
drum is non-toxic and can be disposed of without any problems.
Also the toner container as well as the toner
are "household waste capable".

an extensive disposal system for the 1.12.1991
resulting consumables, including the old F series
printer, on. They are collected and cleaned and dismantled by
a disposal company. Metal parts are returned to the metal
cycle. The cleaned ones
Plastic parts are also recycled.
Eco- Friendly Paper — The manuals are printed on
Recycled paper printed from 100% recycled paper.
Additional information — KYOCERA specialist retail partners
have additional information available in the form of an
environmental brochure.

Inappropriate locations
You should never install the printer in a location where
to which it is exposed to the following environmental conditions:

Direct exposure to hot or cold air

Drafts (Avoid locations near exterior doors.)
Sudden changes in temperature or humidity
Heat-producing devices such as radiators or stoves
Excessive dust generation
vibration

Ammonia or other harmful vapors (Should a room

disinfected or sprayed with insecticide, for example, the printer
must be removed beforehand!)

Excessively warm and humid rooms

Confined room without adequate ventilation
Higher than 2000 meters above sea level

printer memory 1 - 31

With duplex printing, the paper is printed on the front and

back.

600 DPI mode is available in HP LaserJet 4 emulation and

KPDL 2.

If complex printouts are to be created in 600 DPI mode in

the LaserJet 4 emulation, we recommend expanding the
memory.

If the existing memory capacity is not sufficient to print with

600 DPI in the selected configuration, it is automatically
switched to 300 DPI.

For printouts that are to be created in 200 DPI, the 600 DPI
mode must be activated and the 200 DPI resolution selected
with SW commands.

KPDL 2, the PostScript Level 2 emulation developed by

KYOCERA, automatically sets the VIDEO RAM to A4/Letter.

Setting the VIDEO RAM to Legal does not make sense when
using A4-size paper.

Additional fonts and/or macros that are loaded into the printer
must be taken into account when setting up the memory.

If there is a change between KPDL 2 and the HP

LaserJet 4 emulation loaded fonts and/or macros are not
deleted, the resource protection mode is closed

ÿ Pack the developer unit carefully in the protective sleeve and

place it on a flat surface. The unit
must not be stored in a dusty place. Touch
never touch the magnetic roller on the developer unit,
and keep floppy disks away from the developer.
The toner container and developer unit contain toner
and should therefore be packed dust-proof.

If installed, the print tray should also be at the rear and

the manual paper feeder can be removed.

Be sure to pack the printer back in the original box that

came with it. The individual steps for this are

shape feed time Set out 2 – 23

2.5 Set Form Feed Time Out

While dot matrix printers are able to print a few lines and then
finish printing, page printers are like
the FS-1600+/FS-3600+ forced for technical reasons

If the side to be printed is to be written with just a few lines,

almost all application programs create a

the page is ready and can also be output.

This page feed command is used for a screen printout (hard

will.

As long as the printer does not receive a form feed command

or enough data to print the page, it now waits
for more data.

To ensure that this waiting time does not exceed several hours,
the FS-1600+/FS-3600+ uses the following trick:

The FS-1600+/FS-3600+ automatically generates a page feed

command if it has run out of data for a precisely defined time
had received.

The time that the printer waits before it independently generates

a page feed command is called FF timeout – time monitoring
– and can be set according to the respective requirements.

While the FF timeout in most use cases is a

to increase or switch off by specifying zero seconds.

If zero seconds is entered as the waiting time for the FF timeout, no

automatic page feed is generated.

When printing complex full-page graphics, several million pixels can

be generated and transferred to the printer
will. Due to the enormous amounts of data, the graphic
often created in several parts and transferred to the printer.
Now that the printer has received part of the image,
the computer calculates the next section of the image. During this
time, the printer waits for further data.
Depending on the complexity of the data to be calculated by the
computer and the speed of the computer, it can
therefore happen that the set time for the FF timeout
reached before the printer receives the next data.

The printer thus independently generates a page feed command,

so that an image which should actually be printed out on one page
is distributed over several pages.

If the FF timeout time is increased accordingly, this will now be the case

paper over. See also the information in Appendix D. Also, be
aware of any scraps of paper that may have been overlooked
during jam handling.
If changing the paper type does not solve the problem, there

B.1 How the FS-1600+/FS-3600+ works

If you want to know how your page printer works, you should
read the following section. However, this information is not required
to use the printer.
A page is printed out in three steps:
(1) Receive and process data

(2) Write an image on the drum

(3) Image transferred from the drum to the paper

Step (1), receiving and processing data, is carried out by the main
circuit board in the lower part of the housing. The printer creates a
bitmap graphic from the data sent by the computer and defines
whether a point on a page should be printed or left out
target. This bitmap graphic is saved in individual sections in the
printer's raster memory (VIDEO-RAM).
Step (2), write image on the drum, is done by the optical
LED system, the drum and the developer unit.
As the drum rotates, it is powered by discharge of the
charging corotrons parallel to the drum initially uniform
electrically charged.
The optical LED print head, which is also parallel to the drum, consists
of small LED chips. These can not only be switched on and off, but
also in different ways
intensity are operated. This will result in a resolution of
Achieved 600 DPI.

The drum is photosensitive, which means it conducts electricity when

is illuminated. If it is illuminated by an LED chip, the

Basis weight is the weight of a certain amount of paper.
Traditionally, this is a
ream, ie 500 sheets measuring 17 x 22 inches (43 x 56 cm), im

Loading paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeds
and paper jams, and premature wear and tear on the printer. If the
paper is of different weights, multiple sheets may be fed in at the

Paper thickness should be 0.086 to 0.110 mm.

paper moisture
Moisture content is defined as a percentage
Moisture in the dry matter of the paper. The humidity
affects the appearance of the paper, the indentation, the
Curl, electrostatic properties and toner fixation.

The moisture content is also dependent on the relative

humidity of the environment. With high humidity, this decreases
Paper absorbs moisture, causing the edges to stretch and
get wavy. On the other hand, when the humidity is low, it dries out
so that the edges pull together and the printout has less contrast.

Wavy or puckered edges will cause errors

when feeding and aligning the paper. The moisture content should be 4
to 6%.

The consistently good moisture content can be guaranteed by storing the

paper properly. In particular, the following must be observed:

Always store paper in a dry and cool place.

If possible, leave paper wrapped until use and

repack when not in use.

Always store paper in its original packaging. the box

never place directly on the ground, but on a pallet or something
similar.

Paper before use at least 48 hours in the

Store room in which printing takes place.

Never expose paper to heat, direct sunlight, or moisture

Choosing the right paper D—7

paper direction
When paper is made, the sheets are either lengthwise
(narrow grain) or cut across (broad grain) to the grain.
Because wide grain paper can cause feeding problems,
should always be used with narrow web paper when used in a page printer,
marked with SB on the packaging.

Other paper properties

Permeability: Refers to the density of the paper structure,
ie on how tightly the paper fibers are bound.
Stiffness: Soft paper can flex in the printer while
stiff paper tends to get stuck in the printer. In both
cases, paper jams occur.
Curl: All paper tends to curl in one direction
roll up. As the paper is rolled up in the printer,
should you insert it against this natural tendency to curl,
so that the sheet comes out smoothly. Most types of paper
also have a top and bottom. The paper should
should therefore be placed upside down in the paper cassette
(see arrow on the packaging).
Electrostatic Properties: During the printing process
the paper becomes electrostatically charged, so that the toner
sticks to it. However, this charge must also be returned

Whiteness: The contrast of a printed page depends on the whiteness

of the paper. The whiter the paper, the clearer and sharper the
Output.

Quality: Various printer errors can be triggered if you print

sheets of different sizes, not exactly
square, cracked, welded (not cut) or
Load sheets with damaged corners and edges. With high-
quality paper, however, these difficulties are likely

can receive data at the same time via two interfaces. the
Print jobs from the various interfaces are printed separately so
that the pages don't get mixed up. The following

The size of the buffer is defined proportionally with the FRPO
command (M5 and M6 parameters).
Values between 0 and 9 are supported, with the
default factory setting is M5:M6=3:1. The total size of the buffer
area is specified with the H8 parameter (host buffer size) of the
