Page 27: Chapter 2 Handling Paper
Chapter 2 Handling Paper The printer can use a variety of media in various sizes. However, any media you will choose to use with the printer must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in this chapter. Use of paper not satisfying these guidelines and specifications may cause problems such as frequent paper jams, poor quality printing, and possible damage to the printer mechanism.
Page 28: General
This practice will increase your office productivity. 2.1.1 Available paper types The FS-C5016N printer can use almost any type of printer paper. This printer accepts paper used for xerographic copiers as well. Paper comes in three generic grades: economy, standard, and premium. The grades are determined by how easily the paper can pass through the printer.
Page 29: Minimum And Maximum Paper Sizes
The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as cut-sheet, the MP (multi-purpose) tray must be used. Paper cassette Figure 2-1 2.1.4 Recommended Paper The following products are recommended for use with the printer for optimum performance. Size Letter, Legal Table 2-2 Values Long grain...
Page 30: Selecting The Right Paper
Using such paper may cause illegible printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product life of the printer. Never use paper with surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as smooth and even as possible.
Page 31: Paper Properties
In the metric system, the basis weight is expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause misfeeds, jams, and premature wear of printer parts. Uneven weight of paper can cause multiple-sheet feeding, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems.
Page 32: Moisture Content
Thick paper is called high-caliper paper and thin paper is called low-caliper paper. Paper used by the printer should be neither too thick nor too thin. If you encounter paper jam, multiple-sheet feed, or too light printing problems, the paper may be too thin. If you encounter paper jam or too heavy printing problems, the paper may be too thick.
Page 33: Other Properties Of Paper
(i.e., air permeability). Stiffness The ability of paper to resist deformation under stress. In the printer, limp paper can buckle and too stiff paper can bind. Both conditions result in paper jams.
Page 34: Loading Paper
Perform the following procedure to load paper into the cassette. Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Figure 2-2 Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer. Figure 2-3 Paper Cassette...

Page 36 Paper Size Dial Figure 2-6 When the paper size dial is set to OTHER the paper size must be set into the printer on the operator panel. See Panel, section 3.10.4 Setting the Cassette Paper Size on page Note Adjust the position of the paper guides located on the left and right sides of the paper cassette.
Page 37 Adjust the position of the paper stopper located at the rear of the paper cassette. Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. When shipped from the factory, the paper cassette is set to A4 size. When using non-standard size paper, move the paper guides and paper stopper all the way out, insert the paper, then adjust the paper guides and paper stopper to the size of the paper.
Page 38 2.3 Loading Paper • Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the paper guides. Note • The paper cassette will hold approximately 500 sheets of paper with a 80 g/m² (21 lb.) basis weight, or with a thickness of 0.11 Load Limit Figure 2-10 Set the stack of paper so that it is under the clips as shown.
Page 39 2.3 Loading Paper Insert the paper cassette into the slot in the printer. Push it straight in as far as it will Figure 2-12 There is a paper gauge on the right side of the front of the paper cassette to indicate the remaining paper supply.

Page 42: Special Paper
You can assign one of these special paper type to a paper cassette or MP (multi-purpose) tray by using the printer’s operator panel keys. Then, the printer can automatically select the paper cassette or multi-purpose tray to feed the special paper from and internally adjust the electrical parameters for optimum printing performance according to the special paper type.
Page 43 Label paper must be fed manually. For printing on labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the printer. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers will cause printer damage.
Page 44 2.4 Special Paper When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s outside edges that correspond to the margins of the printable area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until printing is finished. Figure 2-20 When selecting labels, make sure to use only those meeting the following requirements: Item Top sheet weight...

Page 47: Paper Type
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper. A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types.
Page 48: Chapter 3 Using The Operator Panel
You can also rely on other printer utilities such as Kyocera Mita PrintMonitor if you need to change settings that are not available on the printer driver. It will allow you remotely access to printer settings.
Page 49: Understanding The Operator Panel
3.1 Understanding the Operator Panel Understanding the Operator Panel The operator panel on the top of the printer has a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), eight keys, and three indicators (LED). Figure 3-1 Messages that appear on the display and functions of indicators and keys are explained in the sections that follow.

Arrow Keys The four arrow keys are used in the menu system to access a desired item or enter numeric values.
Page 55: Using The Menu Selection System
This section explains how to use the menu selection system. The MENU key on the operator panel allows you to use the menu to set or change the printer environment such as the number of copies to print, emulation, etc., to your specific needs. Settings can be made when Ready is indicated on the printer message display.

In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.
