Glossary

Cassette mode

This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When this mode is used, approximately 100 sheets of plain paper can be fed continuously, the same as for the cassette.

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.

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 operation of the following printers: PCL, Line printer, IBM Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-850, KPDL.

Expansion memory

This option is used to increase printer memory. The printer has an expansion socket, into which you can install a 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, or

256 MB DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module). 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. When the MP tray setting is set to first mode (priority printing from the MP tray) with paper inserted in the MP tray, the first paper will always feed from there even if another paper source is selected. The printer is set to the cassette mode (another MP tray operation mode) as the factory default, but you can change this setting from the operator panel.

KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)

This is Kyocera’s original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On.

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 CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

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.
