Custom*

70 × 148 to 216 × 356 mm, 2-3/4 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches

*If the length of custom paper is larger than 297 mm (11-11/16 inches), the machine can be substituted A4, Folio, Legal, and Oficio II as the standard paper size.

Smoothness

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.

The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 to 58.5 lib/ream).

Thickness

The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Moisture Content

Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.

FS-1020MFP, FS-1220MFP specifications

The Kyocera FS-1220MFP and FS-1020MFP are multifunction printers designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized offices looking for reliable and efficient printing solutions. Both models offer a blend of advanced features and user-friendly interfaces, making them suitable for various office environments.

The FS-1220MFP is equipped with powerful printing capabilities, enabling users to produce high-quality documents at speeds of up to 20 pages per minute. It features a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, ensuring sharp text and clear images. The FS-1020MFP, while slightly slower, still delivers impressive speeds at up to 18 pages per minute. Both devices utilize a compact design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any workspace without occupying excessive space.

One of the main highlights of these models is their multifunctional capabilities. Both the FS-1220MFP and FS-1020MFP support printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, allowing users to handle a variety of tasks using a single device. This all-in-one functionality reduces the need for multiple machines, ultimately lowering costs and saving space.

In terms of technology, both printers utilize Kyocera's ECOSYS technology, which enhances print efficiency and reduces waste. The long-life consumables mean that users can benefit from lower running costs, as toner cartridges have a longer lifespan compared to traditional toner cartridges. This aspect not only contributes to sustainability efforts but also minimizes downtime associated with frequent replacements.

The FS-1220MFP and FS-1020MFP also feature a user-friendly control panel with a clear display, making it easy to navigate through various functions. Their intuitive interface allows users to quickly access settings and print jobs, enhancing productivity.

Connectivity is another key characteristic of these models, as they come equipped with USB and network interfaces. This allows for seamless integration into existing office networks, enabling multiple users to share the printer without any hassle. The ability to print from smartphones and tablets further adds to the convenience of these multifunction devices.

In summary, the Kyocera FS-1220MFP and FS-1020MFP offer a comprehensive range of features, combining high-quality printing, versatile functionality, and efficient technologies. Their compact design, coupled with user-friendly interfaces and advanced connectivity options, make them ideal choices for modern office environments looking for reliable and cost-effective printing solutions.
