Developer Initialization (Automatic) - Kyocera FS-1800 Service Manual

2-2-3 Developer initialization (automatic)

The printer is shipped from the factory with no toner installed in the developer. In order for the
printer to be operable, the developer must be filled with a sufficient amount of toner necessary to
continuously support print jobs. This is called developer initialization and automatically executed
when the printer is turned on for the first time. Developer initialization takes up to 15 minutes for
the original developers (DV-60 for the FS-1800 and DV-61 for the FS-3800) or 8 minutes for the
service developer (DV-62 for both models).
NOTE
Do not turn printer power off during the developer is initialized. If the printer is
switched off in the middle of developer initialization, even after the printer is
switch on again, the printer will not automatically resumes developer
initialization. Should this be the case, enforce the printer to resume developer
initialization in the following manner:
1. While the printer is turned off, press and hold the GO and CANCEL keys.
2. Turn printer power on.
3. Let go off of the GO and CANCEL keys for more than 5 seconds.
Developer initialization resumes for the rest of the required total time.
4. Wait until the READY indicator is lit and the message display indicates Ready.
5. Make a test print by printing a status page. To print a test page, proceed as follows;
1 Press the MENU key on the printer.
2 Press the
Page.
3 Press the ENTER key twice.
6. If the status page is printed satisfactorily, setup is complete. If not, investigate whether all step
procedures are properly followed.
