Glossary

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. Pages

printed in the Ecoprint mode are lighter than pages printed in the

normal mode. The default setting is Off.

Emulation

This refers to emulation of manufacturers’ printers. The printer

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 16

MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Mod-

ule). 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 insert-

ed 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 computer,

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 soft-

ware to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce high-qual-

ity printing. The default setting is On.

Kyocera Mita Digital Library

This is contained on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer. The

contents of the CD-ROM include manuals, printer drivers, and

various utilities.

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 Digital Library CD-

ROM supplied with the printer.

MB (mega byte)

This unit is used to express data quantities and memory capac-

ities. 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, post-

cards, 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 offline status, or to can-

cel printing.

Outline font

With outline fonts, characters’ outlines are represented by nu-

merical 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 perform

IEEE1284 compatible bi-directional communications.
