My mac does not send print to the kyocera 7040cdn - rather than print the document I send it prints a whole load of code about the detail in the file - the fonts etc...and takes about 12 mins to print

Try loading paper in the bypass on the left hand side of the machine.It may be that you are trying to print a document that is a different size to the paper that you have loaded in the copier.

I am not an expert on PDF's and I also have no experience with Apple OS, but I use a Sony PRS-600 and I thought of something that may possibly help you.

There could be some formatting commands or conditions contained within your PDF file that conflict with the Sony software and prevent portions of the file from being accessed. I suggest you try to reformat the file to see if you can get a "clean" version of the file. To do this you will have open the document and select "Print", however this is done on the MAC. This will send the opened file to a virtual printer and format it into a PDF file, hopefully creating a fresh copy that will be readable on the Sony.

In order for to you to be able to "print" PDF files you will need to install a suitable print driver.. I assume there are print drivers for the MAC, just as there are for the PC. Check the following website for more information on PDF printing on MAC's.

There are numerous other websites dedicate to the download of freeware that can help you set this up.

For example -

Having enabled your computer to print PDF's, open the PDF file in question on your MAC. Make sure, as mentioned in your message that all pages are accessible, then select the print command and re-print the file to PDF again. Transferring the file to the Sony device will then confirm if this approach is successful. This is not a proven solution but worth trying nonetheless. Good luck.

Use this method:

[File]
[Print]
Select the printer from the list and click on [Properties]
Change the "Original siae" to "11x17"
Change the Output size from "Same..." to "8.5x11" or "8.5x14"
[OK]
[OK]

Hi
it might be a long shot but have you got an add toner message on your copier screen.
When toner is required the copier will only print on page at a time.
Alternately you should ensure that you have not selected a partial print  eg
print current view or print current page.
if all this fails, reload the driver and or your Acrobat reader

hope this helps 

install the generic postscript driver and go here to tune it http://localhost:631

use the generic print driver in mac and tune it with this tutorial also set the press printer on the copier and set emulation to kpdl auto... also see if you can make the driver spool...

if that doesn't work... then try moving a zipped 10 mb file from one pc to another on your network... make sure one pc or laptop is connected where your copier is... if you open the zipped file and its corrupted... then the problem isn't your copier... its your network...

Program/software you use to print? File details can be found at printer properties/printer setup. Disable File Detail/File Information.

wrong... the kyocera only prints what you send to it... you need to go into your print settings and make the adjustments so it can print frames borders/ shadings... this has been my experience with explorer and photoshop... not very much fun but necessary...

1. Check that you are using the latest print driver - from kyocera website.
2. If the issue is when you print pdf files then make sure you set the printer in KPDL Auto mode - check the print driver settings about this and the printer menu.
3.You may check if you have the latest firmware installed within the printer - print a service status page (Menu->Others->Service).

Are you sure its an FS-2800. All of the 2800 were DP2800. Had to print with LPR ports no USB etc. Let me know if it is a FS-xxxx and what interface you are using. Cat-5 or other. Russ
