Kyocera FS-3700 - Manual (Page 31)

Introduction
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.
Maintenance Features
Compact design— Thanks to the inboard paper cassette configuration, the printer requires
no more space than the average computer.
Ultra long life modules— The main modules for developing image and printing, such as the
drum, developer, and the fuser, are specifically designed for extraordinarily long life and need
no periodic replacement. The drum is made of amorphous silicon which is environmentally be-
nign and is designed as a permanent component in the printer. The only maintenance regu-
larly needed is to replenish the toner supply in the developer approximately every 10,000 pages
and to clean some parts inside the printer.
Amorphous silicon drum— Kyocera’s own unique ceramics technology has led to the devel-
opment 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 vary-
ing temperatures, resistance to heat and solvent, etc., thus providing superb high resolution
printing.
Print Engine Features
Superb print quality— With 600 dots-per-inch, the printout is close to typeset quality. Also,
Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR) technology provides excellent sharpness and consistency.
High speed— A4-size pages typically print at the rate of 18 (12 for model FS-1700) pages per
minute. (Actual time required varies according to page complexity.)
Large paper capacity — The printer accommodates a paper cassette with a capacity of ap-
proximately 250 sheets (75 g/m
2
[20 lb./ream] basis weight, 0.1 mm thickness) and a multi
-purpose tray with a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (350 sheets in total).
Wide variety of print media — In addition to standard paper, the printer prints on special
media of a wide range of types and sizes, including recycled paper, envelopes, labels and OHP
film.
