Printing Issue Hi there, I have a Kyocera FS-1000 and the other day it decided to print very slowly and at that decieded to print some pages of print starting half way down the paper and also printed some paper out with only 1 sentece on it when I was trying to print out a 35 page document. It is having a "Metal Breakdown" Kind Regards David

well ( a deep subject) that is an ink problem as most are if not jams.
a high end Laser jet printer, needs new cartridge I bet.

Most printers have a test page, even from the front panel
google the manual and read how to do that, and does.

first google hit finds the manual in 1second flat. (amazing)
351 page of bliss.

Hi. I would suggest that you unplug the printer, reinstall software and check you computer for viruses. If i continues, try letting it print out. maybe someone set so that 30 pages with a smiley would be printed next time you plugged it in. I how this will fix you problem.

Try the feed tires in the tray first. More than likely the paper is not being picked up and causing jam message. The separation roller also has a hub on it to prevent a second sheet from feeding. Sometimes these start to lock up ,a little oil on the hub sometimes relieves some of the tension.

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

clean the paper feed roller with a damp cloth after removing the paper tray, otherwise call a technician since parts may need to be replaced, including the roller in case.

Format the harddrive, or go to the properties and change the setting that says leave copy on the harddrive, if all this not working try to initialize the memory and you will be fine.
double check on the driver properties check if it says direct printing or it keeps any copy on the machine.

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).

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 may need an imaging unit. VERY expensive.
