Kyocera FS-1900 - Developer Initialization (Toner Install Mode)

3-14
FS-1900
(5) Developer initialization (Toner install mode)
The new developer unit is shipped from the factory with no toner contained. The developer can be
automatically replete with toner when a toner container is installed onto it and the printer is turned
on. However, because the toner reservoir in the developer has a large capacity, it requires a lengthy
period of time until a substantial amount of toner has been fed to get the printer ready. (A new
developer needs approximately 100 g for triggering the sensor inside.)
A great many seconds of time for this is greatly deducted by using the service menu in the printer’s
mode select routine as accessed by its operation panel. Follow these steps to use this feature, top to
bottom (For details, refer to section 2-3 Using the operator panel on page 2-18).

The printer continually engages in
this mode for a period of
approximately 8 minutes, after which
the printer reverts to the Ready state.
Make a test print by printing a
status page. If the status page is
printed satisfactorily, setup is
complete. If not, investigate
whether all step procedures are
properly followed.
