Introduction
The Kyocera laser printer has many extremely desirable features. It was designed to make a contri-
bution to a cleaner environment as well as to represent the latest generation of page printer tech-
nology.
Maintenance Features
Compact design— Thanks to the inboard paper cassette configuration, the printer requires no
more space than the average computer.
Ultra long life modules— The main modules for developing image and printing, such as the
drum, developer, and the fuser, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need no
periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally benign
and is designed as a permanent component in the printer. The only maintenance regularly needed
is to replenish the toner supply in the developer approximately every 10,000 pages and to clean
some parts inside the printer.
Amorphous silicon drum— Kyocera's own unique ceramics technology has led to the develop-
ment 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 tem-
peratures, resistance to heat and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution printing.
Print Engine Features
Superb print quality— With 600 dots-per-inch, the printout is close to typeset quality. Also,
Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR) technology provides excellent sharpness and consistency.
High speed— A4-size pages typically print at the rate of 18 (12 for model FS-1700+) pages per
minute. (Actual time required varies according to page complexity.)
Large paper capacity— The printer accommodates a paper cassette with a capacity of approx-
imately 250 sheets (75 g/m
2
[20 lb./ream] basis weight, 0.1 mm thickness) and a multi-purpose
tray with a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (350 sheets in total).
Wide variety of print media— In addition to standard paper, the printer prints on special media
of a wide range of types and sizes, including recycled paper, envelopes, labels and OHP film.
