Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in a cassette (18 ppm model) or the two cassettes (22 ppm model) and the MP
tray. A paper feeder is also available as an option (refer to Optional Equipment on Appendix-2).
Before Loading Paper

When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets
to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following
steps.
1 Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the

middle.
2 Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while

keeping the entire stack swelled.
3 Raise the right and left hands alternately to create

a gap and feed air between the papers.
4 Finally, align the papers on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before

loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a
jam.
CAUTION: If you copy onto used paper (paper already

used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled or
clipped together. This may damage the machine or
cause poor image quality.
NOTE: If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled,

turn the stack in the cassette upside down.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures

and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of
problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading
in the MP tray or cassettes back in the paper
storage bag.
If the machine will not be used for a prolonged

period, protect all paper from humidity by removing
it from the cassettes and sealing it in the paper
storage bag.
NOTE: If you use special paper such as letterhead,

paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or
company name, refer to the Paper on Appendix-10.

Loading Paper in the Cassettes

Standard paper, recycled paper, and colored paper can be loaded into the cassette. Up to 300 sheets of
standard paper (80 g/m2) or 100 sheets of thick paper (90 to 105 g/m2) can be set.
The following paper sizes are supported: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5R, Folio, 11 × 17" (Ledger), 8 1/2 × 14"
2
(Legal), 11 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 11" (Letter), 5 1/2 × 8 1/2" (Statement), 8 1/2 × 13" (Oficio II), 8K, and 16K.
IMPORTANT:
• You should not use inkjet printer paper or any paper with a special surface coating. (Such papers may
cause paper jams or other faults.)
• Do not load thick paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 in the cassettes. Use the MP tray for paper that is
heavier than 105 g/m2.
1 Pull the cassette out toward you until it stops.
NOTE: Do not pull out more than one cassette at a

time.
2 Push down on the cassette base plate and secure

it.
3 Holding the paper width adjusting tab, move the

paper width guides to fit the paper.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the width guides are flush

against the paper. If there is space between the guides
and the paper, set the width guides again.
NOTE: The paper sizes are impressed in the cassette.

4 Using the paper length guide, move the plate to fit

the paper.
IMPORTANT:
• Make sure that the length guide is flush against the
paper. If there is space between the guide and the
paper, set the length guide again.
• When setting 11 x 17" (Ledger) paper, move the
paper length guide to the right end and push it down
as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: The paper sizes are impressed in the cassette.
5 Set the paper straight from the upper part.
IMPORTANT:
A
• Be careful not to bend or crease the paper when
inserting it into the cassette. Creases in the paper
may lead to paper jams.
• The maximum paper limit indicator A is provided on
a paper width guide. Make sure that the paper
loaded is below the maximum paper limit indicator.
• When loading paper into the cassette, set it with the
side which faced the top of its packaging facing up.
• Be sure to adjust the width and length guides to the
paper size before loading the paper. Failure to do so
may result in paper skewing or jamming.

• If the length and width guides are not flush against

the paper, a size that is different from the actual size
may be displayed on the message display.
• When the paper has become wrinkled from
moisture and cannot be fed, set the paper so that
the wrinkled side is toward the length guide.
2
NOTE: When loading paper into the cassette, set it

with the side to be printed facing up.
6 Stick the accompanying paper label so that the

paper size set in the cassette can be identified from
the front of the cassette.
7 Gently push the cassette back in.
IMPORTANT: When the machine will not be used for a

long period of time, remove the paper from the cassette,
put it in a storage bag, and seal the bag in order to
protect the paper from moisture.
Loading Paper in the MP Tray

Up to 100 sheets of standard (80 g/m²) paper (25 sheets of A3, B4, Folio, 11 × 17" (Ledger), 8 1/2 × 14" (Legal),

Basic Paper Specifications

This machine is designed to print on standard copy paper as used in regular ('dry') copiers and page printers
such as laser printers. It also supports a variety of other types of paper that conform to the specifications given
in this appendix.
Be careful when choosing paper. Paper unsuitable for the machine may cause jams or may be wrinkled.

Supported Paper
Use standard copy paper for regular copiers or laser printers. The printing quality will be affected by the quality
of paper. Poor quality paper may result in unsatisfactory output.
Basic Paper Specifications
The following table lists the specifications of paper that is supported with this machine. Refer to the subsequent
sections for further details.
Criteria Specifications
Weight Cassettes: 60 to 105 g/m2

NOTE: Some recycled paper does not meet requirements for use with this machine as listed in the Basic
Paper Specifications shown below, such as moisture or pulp content. For this reason, we recommend
purchasing a small amount of recycled paper as a sample for testing prior to use. Choose recycled paper that
gives the best printing results and contains low levels of paper dust.
We are not responsible for the problems occurred from the use of paper that does not conform to our
specifications.
Choosing the Appropriate Paper

This section describes guidelines for choosing paper.
Condition
Avoid using paper with bent corners or that is curled, dirty, or torn. Do not use paper that has a rough surface
or paper fiber lint, or that is especially delicate. Use of paper in any of these conditions will not only deliver poor
copies but may also cause jams and shorten the useful life of the machine. Choose paper with a smooth and
even surface; however, avoid coated paper or paper with a treated surface as it may damage the drum or fusing
unit.
Ingredient
Do not use paper such as paper that has been coated or surface-treated or paper that contains plastic or carbon.
These paper may produce harmful fumes from the heat of printing and may damage the drum.
Be sure to use the standard paper that contains at least 80% pulp, i.e., not more than 20% of the total paper
content consists of cotton or other fibers.

Supported Paper Sizes
Paper of the following sizes is supported by the machine.
Measurements in the table take into account a ±0.7 mm dimensional accuracy for length and width. Corner
angles must be 90° ± 0.2°.

Size Entry (98 × 148 to 297 × 432 mm)
Smoothness
The paper surface should be smooth, but it must be uncoated. With paper that is too smooth and slippery,
several sheets may accidentally be supplied at once, causing jams.
Basis Weight
In countries that use the metric system, basis weight is the weight in grams of one sheet of paper one square
meter in area. In the United States, basis weight is the weight in pounds of one ream (500 sheets) of paper cut
to the standard size (or trade size) for a specific grade of paper. Paper that is too heavy or too light may be
supplied incorrectly or cause paper jams, which may cause excessive wear of the machine. Mixed paper weight
(i.e., thickness) may cause several sheets to be supplied at once accidentally and may also cause blurring or
other printing problems if the toner fails to adhere correctly.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 105 g/m2 for the cassettes and between 45 to 160 g/m2 for
the MP tray.

Thickness
Avoid using paper that is too thick or thin. Signs that paper may be thin include frequent problems with paper
jams or with several sheets being supplied at once. Paper jams may also indicate that the paper is too thick. The
proper thickness is between 0.086 and 0.110 mm.
Moisture Content
Paper moisture content is the ratio of moisture to dryness expressed as a percentage. Moisture affects how the
paper is supplied, the electrostatic changeability of the paper, and how the toner adheres.
Paper moisture content varies depending on the relative humidity in the room. High relative humidity causes
paper to become damp, making the edges expand so it appears wavy. Low relative humidity causes paper to
lose moisture, making the edges tighten and weakening print contrast.
Wavy or tight edges may cause the paper to slip when it is supplied. Try to keep the moisture content between
4 to 6%.
To maintain the right level of moisture content, bear in mind the following considerations.
• Store paper in a cool, well-ventilated place.

• Store paper flat and unopened in the package. Once the package is opened, reseal it if the paper is not to
be used for a while.
• Store paper sealed in the original package and box. Put a pallet under the carton to keep it raised above the
floor. Especially during rainy seasons keep the paper a sufficient distance away from wooden or concrete
floors.
• Before using paper that has been stored, keep it at the proper moisture level for at least 48 hours.
• Do not store paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or dampness.
Other Paper Specifications
Porosity: The density of the paper fibers
Stiffness: Paper must be stiff enough or it may buckle in the machine, causing jams.
Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl after the package is opened. When paper passes through the fixing unit,
it curls upward slightly. To deliver flat printouts, load the paper so that the curl faces towards the bottom of the
paper tray.
Static electricity: During printing, paper is electrostatically charged so that the toner adheres. Choose paper
that can be discharged quickly so that copies do not cling together.
Whiteness: Paper whiteness affects print contrast. Use whiter paper for sharper, brighter copies.
Quality: Machine problems may occur if sheet sizes are not uniform or if corners are not square, edges are
rough, sheets are uncut, or edges or corners are crushed. In order to prevent these problems, be especially
careful when you cut the paper yourself.
Packaging: Choose paper that is properly packaged and stacked in boxes. Ideally, the packaging itself should
have been treated with a coating to inhibit moisture.
Specially treated paper: We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms
to the basic specifications. When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to
test.

• Glossy paper
• Watermarked paper
• Paper with an uneven surface
• Perforated paper
Special Paper
This section describes printing onto special paper and print media.
The following paper and media can be used.
• Transparencies
• Preprinted paper
• Bond paper
• Recycled paper
• Thin paper (from 45 g/m2 to 64 g/m2 or less)
• Letterhead
• Colored paper
• Prepunched paper
• Envelopes
• Cardstocks
• Thick paper (from 90 g/m2 to 160 g/m2 or less)
• Labels
• High-quality paper
When using these paper and media, choose that are designed specifically for copiers or page printers (such as
laser printers). Use the MP tray for transparencies, thick paper, envelopes, cardstocks, and label paper.
Choosing Special Paper
Although special paper that meets the following requirements can be used with the machine, print quality will
vary considerably due to differences in the construction and quality of special paper. Thus, special paper is more
likely than regular paper to cause printing problems. Before purchasing special paper in volume, try testing a
sample to ensure the print quality is satisfactory. General precautions when printing onto special paper are given
below. Note that we are not responsible for any harm to the user or damage to the machine caused by moisture
or specifications of special paper.
Select a cassette or MP tray for special paper.

Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing. Transparencies must meet the following
conditions.
Criteria Specifications
Heat resistance Must withstand at least 190°C
Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm
Material Polyester
Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm
Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°
To avoid problems, use the MP tray for transparencies and load transparencies with the long side facing the
machine.
If transparencies jam frequently at output, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gently as they are ejected.
Hagaki
Before loading Hagaki into the MP tray, fan them and
align the edges. If the Hagaki paper is curled, straighten
Burrs
it before loading. Printing onto curled Hagaki may cause
jams.
Burrs
Use unfolded Oufuku Hagaki (available at post offices).
Some Hagaki may still have rough edges developed by
a paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such
rough edges by placing the Hagaki on a flat surface and
rubbing the edges gently a few times with a ruler.
Envelopes
Use the MP tray for envelopes.
Due to the structure of envelopes, printing evenly over the entire surface may not be possible in some cases.
Thin envelopes in particular may be wrinkled by the machine in some cases as they pass through. Before
purchasing envelopes in volume, try testing a sample to ensure the print quality.
Storing envelopes for a long period may cause them to become wrinkled. Thus, keep the package sealed until
you are ready to use them.
Keep the following points in mind.
Do not use envelopes with exposed adhesive. In addition, do not use the type of envelope in which the adhesive
is exposed after the top layer is peeled off. Serious damage may be caused if the paper covering the adhesive
comes off in the machine.
Do not use envelopes with certain special features. For example, do not use envelopes with a grommet for
winding a string to close the flap or envelopes with an open or film-covered window.
If paper jams occur, load fewer envelopes at once.

To prevent paper jams when printing onto multiple envelopes, do not allow more than ten envelopes remain in
the output tray at once.
Thick Paper
Before loading thick paper in the MP tray, fan it and align the edges. Some thick paper may still have rough
edges developed by a paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges just as with Hagaki by
placing the paper on a flat surface and rubbing the edges gently a few times with a ruler. Printing onto paper
with rough edges may cause jams.
NOTE: If the paper is not supplied correctly even after it is smoothed, load the paper in the MP tray with the
leading edge raised a few millimeters.
Label
Be sure to feed labels from the MP tray.
For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the
machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or
rollers and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.
When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble.
Labels consist of three layers as shown in the

illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that
are easily affected by the force applied in the machine.
Top sheet The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is
Adhesive layer used. This composition of labels may cause more
problems.
Carrier sheet
The label surface must be covered completely with the
top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of
labels, resulting in a serious failure.
Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. When using such paper, do not peel these margins from
the carrier sheet before completing output.
Allowed Not allowed
Top sheet
Carrier sheet

Use label paper that conforms to the following specifications.

(overall paper weight)
Top sheet thickness 0.086 to 0.107 mm
Overall paper thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm
Moisture content 4 to 6 % (composite)
Colored Paper
Colored paper must conform to the specifications listed on the page 2 of the Appendix. In addition, the pigments
in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of printing (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper must conform to the specifications listed on the page 2 of the Appendix. The colored ink must
be able to withstand the heat of printing. It must be resistant to silicone oil as well. Do not use paper with a
treated surface such as glossy paper used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Recycled paper must conform to the specifications listed on the page 2 of the Appendix; however, its whiteness
may be considered separately.
NOTE: Before purchasing recycled paper in volume, try testing a sample to ensure that the print quality.

Glossary
AppleTalk
AppleTalk, which comes with Apple Computer's Mac OS, is a network protocol. AppleTalk enables file/printer
sharing and also enables you to utilize application software that is on another computer on the same AppleTalk
network.
Auto Form Feed Timeout
During data transmission, the machine may sometimes have to wait until receiving the next data. This is the auto
form feed timeout. When the preset timeout passes, the machine automatically put paper out. However, no
output is performed if the last page has no data to be printed.
Auto Paper Selection
A function to automatically select paper in the same size as original at printing
Auto Sleep Mode
A mode designed for electrical power saving, activated when the machine is left unused or data transfer for a
specific period. In Sleep mode, power consumption is kept to a minimum.
Default Gateway
This indicates the device, such as a computer or router, that serves as the entrance/exit (gateway) for accessing
computers outside the network that you are on, When no specific gateway is designated for a destination IP
address, data is sent to the host designated as the Default Gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) that automatically resolves IP addresses, subnet masks, and
gateway addresses on a TCP/IP network. DHCP minimizes the load of network management employing a large
number of client computers because it relieves individual clients including printers from the IP address being
assigned.
dpi(dots per inch)
A unit for resolution, representing the number of dots printed per inch (25.4 mm).
EcoPrint Mode
A printing mode that helps save toner. Copies made in this mode are thus lighter than normal.
Emulation
The function to interpret and execute other printers' page description languages. The machine emulates
operation of PCL6, KPDL, KC-GL, Line Printer, IBM Proprinter, DIABLO 630, and EPSON LQ-850.
IP Address
An Internet protocol address is a unique number that represents a specific computer or related device on the
network. The format of an IP address is four sets of numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.110.171. Each
number should be between 0 and 255.

IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a standard that uses TCP/IP networks such as the Internet to enable print jobs
to be sent between remote computers and printers.IPP is an extension of the HTTP protocol used to view
websites and enables printing to be carried out via routers on printers in remote locations. It also supports the
HTTP authentication mechanisms along with SSL server and client authentication as well as encryption.
KIR
This is Kyocera Mita’s original smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer's resolution and
produce high-quality printing. The default setting is On.
KPDL (Kyocera Page Description Language)
Kyocera's PostScript page description language compatible with Adobe PostScript Level 3.
Low power mode
This mode is provided for power saving. This mode is activated when operation on the main body and
transmission or reception of data do not occur for a preset time. In this mode, the machine consumes less power
than in the standby mode. The default setting of the preset time is 15 minute. You can use the operation panel
to change this time.
Multi Purpose (MP) Tray
The paper supply tray on the right side of the machine. Use this tray instead of the cassettes when printing onto
envelopes, Hagaki, transparencies, or labels.
NetWare
Novell's network management software that is able to run on a variety of operating systems.
PostScript
A page description language developed by Adobe Systems. It enables flexible font functions and highly-
functional graphics, allowing higher quality printing. The first version called Level 1 was launched in 1985,
followed by Level 2 that enabled color printing and two-byte languages (e.g. Japanese) in 1990. In 1996, Level
3 was released as an update for the Internet access and PDF format as well as gradual improvements in
implementation technologies.
PPM (prints per minute)
This indicates the number of A4 size printouts made in one minute.
Printer Driver
The software to enable you to print data created on any application software. The printer driver for the machine
is contained in the CD-ROM enclosed in the package. Install the printer driver on the computer connected to the
machine.
Sleep mode
This mode is provided for power saving. This mode is activated when operation on the main body and
transmission or reception of data do not occur for a preset time. In this mode, consumed power is reduced to

the minimum. The default setting of the preset time is 1 minutes. You can use the operation panel to change this
time.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
This is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication equipment connected to a network such as
routers, computers, and terminals through the network that uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol).
Status Page
The page lists machine conditions, such as the memory capacity, total number of prints and scans, and paper
source settings.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of an IP address. A subnet mask
represents all network address sections as 1 and all host address sections as 0. The number of bits in the prefix
indicates the length of the network address. The term "prefix" refers to something added to the beginning and,
in this context, indicates the first section of the IP address. When an IP address is written, the length of the
network address can indicated by the prefix length after a forward slash (/). For example, "24" in the address
"133.210.2.0/24". In this way, "133.210.2.0/24" denotes the IP address "133.210.2.0" with a 24-bit prefix
(network section). This new network address section (originally part of the host address) made possible by the
subnet mask is referred to as the subnet address.When you enter the subnet mask, be sure to set the DHCP
setting to Off.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each
other over a network.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)2.0
