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.

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.
Parallel interface
With this interface, data transfer between the
printer and the computer takes place on 8-bit
chunks. The
FS-1000
can perform IEEE1284
compatible bi-directional communications.
PRESCRIBE commands
This is the Kyocera page printer control language
installed on Kyocera 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
FS-1000
is contained
on the
Kyocera Digital 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).
