1-5 About the toner container
1-5-1 Toner container The printer should use a Kyocera TK-60/TK-60E toner kit. To ensure the high print quality and long service life, the following handling precautions should apply: CAUTION As the Ecosys printers are designed to ensure the optimum print quality when used with Kyocera's proprietary toner, Kyocera do not recommend to use any refilled toner containers that may be available commercially. This is because Kyocera have no means of control over how such refilled toner could affect the print quality and the reliability of the printer.
(1) Toner container handling To loosen and mix the toner inside before use, with the label side down, thoroughly shake the toner container 1 (in the direction of the arrows) ten times or more.

2-2-3 Developer initialization (automatic) The printer is shipped from the factory with no toner installed in the developer. In order for the printer to be operable, the developer must be filled with a sufficient amount of toner necessary to continuously support print jobs. This is called developer initialization and automatically executed when the printer is turned on for the first time. Developer initialization takes up to 15 minutes for the original developers (DV-60 for the FS-1800 and DV-61 for the FS-3800) or 8 minutes for the service developer (DV-62 for both models). NOTE Do not turn printer power off during the developer is initialized. If the printer is switched off in the middle of developer initialization, even after the printer is switch on again, the printer will not automatically resumes developer initialization. Should this be the case, enforce the printer to resume developer initialization in the following manner:
1. While the printer is turned off, press and hold the GO and CANCEL keys. 2. Turn printer power on. 3. Let go off of the GO and CANCEL keys for more than 5 seconds. Developer initialization resumes for the rest of the required total time. 4. Wait until the READY indicator is lit and the message display indicates Ready. 5. Make a test print by printing a status page. To print a test page, proceed as follows; 1 Press the MENU key on the printer. 2 Press the key or key repeatedly until the message display shows Print Status Page. 3 Press the ENTER key twice. 6.
