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 2-58.)
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 25,000 printed pages (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.
High speed printing
A3-size pages typically print at a rate of 16 pages per minute, B4 at 18 pages per minute, and A4
(landscape feed) at 28 pages per minute (when printing multiple copies of the same page). (Actual
printing time varies depending on what is being printed.)
