Kyocera FS-1010 MB mega byte, MP tray, Offline, Online, Operator panel, Outline font, RAM disk

MB (mega byte)

This unit is used to express data quantities and memory capacities. 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 right side of the printer. The panel consists of four indicators and two keys. The four indicators light, flash, and go off in combination to indicate the printer’s status. Press the keys when you want to switch the printer between online and offline 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.

Glossary

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.

PRESCRIBE commands

This is the Kyocera Mita page printer control language installed on Kyocera Mita printers. PRESCRIBE commands enable most print settings necessary for pagination, and are easy to understand because they are written in text format, allowing you to do programming yourself. For information on the commands and how to use them, refer to the Programming Manual contained on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

Printer driver

The printer driver makes it possible for you to print data created using application software. The printer driver for the printer is contained on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM supplied with the printer. Install the printer driver on the computer connected to the printer.

Process unit

This is the printer’s main module and contains the photosensitive drum and developer unit.

RAM disk

This is a virtual disk drive that uses part of the printer’s memory. With RAM disk you can set any memory size arbitrarily, and use electronic sorting (to reduce print time).

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

This is a protocol for the management of networks that use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
