Cassette mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. When 
this mode is used, approximately 50 sheets of 
plain paper can be fed continuously, the same as 
for the cassette.
dpi (dots per inch)
This indicates the number of dots printed per 
inch, and is the unit of printer resolution.
EcoPrint
This is a printing mode that controls toner 
consumption. Pages printed in the EcoPrint 
mode are lighter than pages printed in the 
normal mode. The default setting is Off.
Emulation
This refers to emulation of manufacturers’ 
printers. The printer emulates operation of the 
following printers: PCL, Line printer, IBM 
Proprinter, DIABLO 630, EPSON LQ-850, 
KPDL.
Expansion memory
This option is used to increase printer memory. 
The printer has one expansion slot, and you can 
install a 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 
or 256 MB DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module). 
Contact your Kyocera Mita dealer to purchase 
the DIMM that is best suited for use with this 
printer.
First mode
This is an operation mode for the MP tray. 
Because the MP tray default setting is set to first 
mode (priority printing from the MP tray), if 
there is paper inserted in the MP tray, the first 
paper will always feed from there even if another 
paper source is selected. First mode is specified 
as the factory default, but you can change this 
setting from the KM-NET for Clients.
IEEE1284
This is a standard used when connecting a 
printer to a computer, and was established by the 
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 
in 1994.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
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.
KM-NET for Clients
This is a utility that displays a virtual printer 
operation panel on your computer screen. You 
can make various settings from the KM-NET for 
Clients, such as the current paper source and 
paper size. The KM-NET for Clients is contained 
on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM 
supplied with the printer.
KM-NET VIEWER
This is a network management tool that can be 
used with the printer. You can view information 
for printers connected to the network using 
SNMP commands. KM-NET VIEWER is contained 
on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM 
supplied with the printer.
KPDL 
(Kyocera Printer Description 
Language)
This is Kyocera Mita’s version of Adobe 
PostScript 3. 
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.
