Introduction

Introduction

The Kyocera 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 Kyocera such as KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) function*, this laser printer delivers superb print quality and clarity. (*See page 2-31.)

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 10,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20 and approximately every 20,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20H (A4 portrait at a printing rate of approximately 5%) and to clean some parts inside the printer.

Amorphous silicon drum

Kyocera’s 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.
