Kyocera DP-3600 manual Superb print quality, Ultra long life modules, Amorphous silicon drum

Introduction

Introduction

The 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 us such as

KIR 2 function*, this laser printer delivers superb print quality and clarity. (*See page 2-58.)

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 25,000 printed pages (A4 landscape at a printing rate of approximately 5%) and to clean some parts inside the printer.

Amorphous silicon drum

Our 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.

High speed printing

A3-size pages typically print at a rate of 20 pages per minute, B4 at 22 pages per minute, and A4/letter (landscape feed) at 36 pages per minute (when printing multiple copies of the same page). (Actual printing time varies depending on what is being printed.)
