Why is Kyocera Software not discovering the printing system?
- J
  Joseph SotoSep 22, 2025
  The printing system might be turned off, so turn it on and try again. It could also be removed from the network, so ensure it's connected. If the system is currently printing, wait until it's finished and then try searching again. It is also possible that the TCP/IP settings on your PC are not configured properly, in that case contact your network administrator. Depending on the network router configuration, a printing system may be undetectable. In some rare cases, heavy network traffic may prevent this application from detecting the printing systems, so try again later or contact your network administrator.

How to fix light printouts on Kyocera TASKalfa 180 All in One Printer?
- J
  James VargasAug 25, 2025
  If your Kyocera All in One Printer's printouts are too light, and the machine is in Auto Density mode, set the correct density level. If the machine is in Manual Density mode, use the Image Quality key to set the correct density level. Make sure the toner is distributed evenly within the toner container by shaking it from side to side several times. Replace the toner container if there's a message indicating the need for toner. Replace damp paper with new paper. Clean the electrical charge section using the Cleaning Rod after opening the front cover. Also, disable EcoPrint mode.
