keys. The four indicators light, flash, and go off
in combination to indicate the printer’s status.

Outline font
With outline fonts, characters outlines are
represented by numerical expressions, and fonts
can be enlarged, reduced, or painted in different
ways by changing the numeric values of those
expressions. Printing remains clear even if you
enlarge fonts, since the letters are defined by an
outline. You can specify font size in steps of 0.25
points up to 999.75 points.
Parallel interface
With this interface, data transfer between the
printer and the computer takes place on 8-bit
chunks. The printer can perform IEEE1284
compatible bi-directional communications.
PRESCRIBE commands
This is the Kyocera Mita page printer control
language installed on Kyocera Mita printers.
PRESCRIBE commands enable most print
settings necessary for pagination, and are easy to
understand because they are written in text
format, allowing you to do programming yourself.
For information on the commands and how to use
them, refer to the Command Reference and
Technical Reference contained on the CD-
ROM supplied with the printer.
Printer driver
The printer driver makes it possible for you to
print data created using application software.
The printer driver for the printer is contained on
the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM
supplied with the printer. Install the printer
driver on the computer connected to the printer.
Process unit
This is the printer’s main module and contains
the photosensitive drum and developer unit.
RAM disk

printer’s memory. With RAM disk you can set
any memory size arbitrarily, and use electronic
sorting (to reduce print time).
Simple Network Management
