Kyocera-1035 Printer: Features, Errors and Troubleshooting

Multifunctional devices in the market of office equipment and printing are enough, but they are all aimed at the home user, and not the corporate segment. Any buyer can see this, having got acquainted with the monthly load of the MFP in the technical characteristics of the product. And how to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses?

In the focus of this article, one of the representatives of the corporate segment is the multifunction device Kyocera-1035. Characteristics, errors and their elimination, as well as user feedback will help the reader determine the choice of a decent device for full-fledged work with documentation in the office environment.

First meeting

Since the device is positioned in the corporate segment, it was placed by its manufacturer in an expensive niche in the computer market. The cost of Kyocera FS-1035 is in the range of 15-18 thousand rubles, but even this figure does not stop many users who want to buy a decent product for home use.

The owner recognizes the belonging to the elite of the multifunctional device at the first acquaintance. Just open the cardboard box in which the printer is transported. This careful attitude to technology is not shown even by the manufacturer of expensive laptops. For all removable elements there is own container, and in the device all moving components are securely fixed with self-adhesive tape.

Build quality and appearance

Yes, the Kyocera FS-1035 printer in collection resembles a small tower that has significant dimensions and claims to take up a lot of space on the table - this clearly refers to the shortcomings of the MFP. However, a detailed study of the device reveals a certain symmetry and external beauty of printing equipment. Apparently, the manufacturer decided to provide users with a stylish printer that will stand out against the background of the rest of the printing equipment. In their responses, many owners claim that when you study the device in detail, you begin to understand why the MFP has such an impressive value.

As for the build quality, the users do not have a single question here. The body and all removable elements of the printer are made of thin, but very durable plastic. At first, it seems that the material is easy to break, but during the operation it is necessary to agree with the rest of the owners that it is impossible to damage the MFP.

General overview of the functional

The Kyocera FS-1035 is a 3-in-1 combined device: printer, scanner and copier. The technology belongs to the category of standalone devices and is able to work without connecting to a personal computer or laptop. For this purpose, the multifunction device has its own operating system, an interface for connecting to a local network and the ability to work with removable media is realized.

The printer can be managed and configured in several ways: from the physical panel, remotely via the WEB interface and through specialized Telnet commands. Operating system MFP, in addition to basic management functions, has a server-based foundation that supports protocols such as email, FTP and SSL.

Basic Printing Options

Immediately it is worth mentioning that the printer Kyocera-1035 is not designed for printing photos. Its main purpose is to process text content. The exception here are diagrams and graphs in low resolution. The maximum resolution for printing is 1200x1200 dots per inch (the base figure is 600x600 dpi). The rate of fire is 35 pages per minute, and the output of the first sheet requires 7 seconds. The device has a built-in hardware duplex, which allows you to print on both pages of the sheet.

By the operation of the printer there are no restrictions either in emulation, or in fonts, or in the definition of the operating systems of the driver Kyocera-1035. The cartridge in the factory version is equipped with a protective chip, which does not allow the toner to be refilled by own forces (the problem is solved by installing the "correct" chip).

Copier operation

Continuous copying of 999 pages, scaling in the range of 25-400% in increments of one and the possibility of manual exposure give the user to understand that in front of him is a professional device for creating blueprints. The manufacturer did not stop there and added many other, equally useful functions:

• Copying with preservation of the image in electronic form;
• Setting priorities between blueprint and print;
• Automatic change of the cassette;
• Manual resolution control when copying text and photos.

In fact, the multifunction device Kyocera-1035 implemented all the functionality, interesting for the owner, which is constantly in demand during operation. The only drawback, judging by the feedback of the owners, is the complexity of managing the device. A lot of buttons, designed to control the copying process, greatly distract the user.

Decent scanner

Professional photo editors and enthusiasts wishing to digitize color images at high resolutions, this device is clearly not suitable, since the MFP is limited in scanning by a parameter of 600x600 dots per inch. In their responses, owners attribute these indicators to negatives, because often you need to scan a color magazine or a photo in high quality.

As for the functional, here is the complete order. The scanner is capable of storing digitized images on a storage medium, sending them by mail or storing them in a file storage on the specified remote computer. However, to manage all of this spacecraft from the user will need to study the instructions, otherwise in the course of operation, there will always be any errors. Kyocera-1035 (scanner) is very picky about the correct settings and controls, so it's not recommended to do everything at random.

Problems and solutions

Oddly enough, there are a lot of minor problems for a multifunctional device, and all of them are connected with incorrect actions of the user in the process of operation. Someone tries to print the text on the printer, in which the paper is out, and someone wanted to send the scanned document by mail when the device is disconnected from the local network. All errors of this nature are prescribed in the instructions, there is also a detailed algorithm for correcting them.

But there is one problem that relates to the category of hardware and requires the intervention of a specialist: "Development node is not installed." Kyocera-1035 gives a message on the liquid crystal display and refuses to perform the tasks. The problem is solved simply - you need to simultaneously press the "Ok" and "Stop" buttons. But the reasons for this error are many, there is already need to understand with the help of a specialist:

1. The toner cartridge runs out of toner (or completely out).
2. Not a branded cartridge is installed.
3. Toner block developed.

Finally

Yes, the Kyocera-1035 multifunctional device's corporate identity is not just about price and huge functionality. As practice shows, for such products, the complexity of control, leading to errors in the case of incorrect actions, takes place. Accordingly, before buying a future owner, you need to think carefully and decide for yourself whether he is ready to trust the manufacturer and take time to read the entire instruction, simultaneously studying the operation of the entire functionality of the device. Without this, simply can not do. Neither the printer, nor the copier, nor the scanner will work correctly without competent settings and management.
