Problem with Kyocera Mita FS 1000+N Laser Printer

Huge Margin with Kyocera FS 1000+

Hi,
I've many problem concerning Kyocera FS 1000+ (6 printer, same problem on all the six printers!!) . If I print any page, the top margin is too high. Even if I print the "print self test" pressing che green button on the printer, the page has the same the huge top margin. You told that there is a way to calibrate the margin...where can i find this way? I think is not a driver problem but a mechanical problem..but I don't know how to solve it :( Thanks for patience

    • I have the same problem but on a fs 3830 I found the sensor I just need some help on how to adjust the sensor or a on line schematic. This would be very helpful.

    • My FS-1000 printer has worked well until hard drive failure. New drive and complete system rebuild. I had all HD data backed up except for down loaded software drivers on purpose but may be a big mistake. I cannot compare old set-up with new but now the closest I can print is 24 mm from top of A4 page and priniting can be cropped by bottom of physical page. I expect that the current printer driver is the problem as many other factors are identical. Windows XP was reinstalled and patched to be completely up-to-date. I have had this problem for many months but waited as I would have expected the internet community to have resolved this problem.

Best Solution

If the FS-1000 prints too far down the page or leave too much top margin or leaves a gap at the top of the page etc (<- for google searches). This is a problem with the felt pads on the three solenoids/clutch electro magnets that are under the right panel (2 under the engine/button board, 1 under the inner plastic cover, sometimes 4 in total on other kyocera printers). They get compressed over time meaning the metal leavers come into contact with the solenoid meaning they are released too slowly. Simply replace the felt pads with .5mm cardboard or another non-sticky non-metallic material. Too thick and it prints too far up the page.

    • You da man!
      I fixed an FS-1000+ purchased on an auction site and now it works great :) 0.55mm cardboard did the trick beautifully :)

    • I can't find the three selenoids/cluth magnets but would really like to get it fixed. Anyone got some pictures or anything to help me find these? Printer in pieces on my desk now!

      Thanks, Rick

My printer had a similar problem - top margin unpredictable. The repair shop replaced a solenoid somewhere inside it to fix the problem. It is a mechanical problem.

laser printer has a margin sensor in the paper through way between paper input sensor and drum cartridge unit. too much top margin means this sensor lost it's sensitive paper edge function but works delay. you may try carefully take out paper tray and cartridge looking the paper through way the position of margin sensor, clean and adusting the sensor stander as well.
