Kyocera FS-5900C manual Connecting the Serial Interface, Installing the Hard Disk Option, Power On

Setup

Connecting the Serial Interface

To connect the printer to a computer using the serial interface, use the XSER connector at the rear panel of the printer. The serial connector is of a round, 8-pin DIN type and you will need a cable adaptor (SA-80) if you connect a DSub type serial connector.

Barcode Reader (BC-1)

With the hard disk option (see below) installed, you can take the advantage of the Kyocera MPS (Multiple Print System). The barcode reader then allows you to recursively print the jobs cached in the hard disk by reading the barcode printed on the printed job. For more information, refer to the user’s manual supplied with the barcode reader.

Installing the Hard Disk Option

The printer can be optionally installed with a hard disk kit HD-2C. Once the hard disk is installed, the printer can temporarily or permanently cache the print jobs in the hard disk so that you can print multiple collated copies quickly or take the advantage of the barcode reader system. (See the preceding section.)

Installing the hard disk option requires removal of the main controller board and mounting the hard disk on it and therefore requires a qualified technician. See your dealer from which the printer is purchased for installing the hard disk.
