Introduction
Superb print quality
Ultra long life modules
Amorphous silicon drum
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.
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 2-31.)
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 10,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20 and approximately every
20,000 printed pages in the case of the TK-20H (A4 portrait at a printing rate of approximately 5%)
and to clean some parts inside the printer.
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.
