Introduction
The PF-8E is a bulk paper feeder for Kyocera Mita page printers. By
removing the MP tray and attaching the bulk paper feeder to the front
of the printer, you can continuously print on up to approximately 2,000
sheets of paper (at paper thickness of 0.1 mm). At the same time, you
can still select the printer’s normal paper cassette for the alternative
paper source. The bulk paper feeder is shipped with a base that
provides mounting for both the printer and the paper feeder. You can
select the source of paper supply yourself using the printer’s operator
panel or the printer driver.
Before using the optional bulk paper feeder, please read this manual,
then carefully follow all instructions given for installing and using the
optional paper feeder.

Installing the Base and the Printer
The printer is mounted on the upper deck of the base. See figure below.
1. Place the base onto a firm, sturdy table or desk.
The table or desk must be larger than the base.
2. Align the positioning pins on the top of the base with the holes
in the base of the printer, then slowly and carefully lower the
printer onto the base. You can easily set the printer on the
base by aligning the back edge of the printer with the end of
the base. Make sure that the connector on the base fits
squarely into the corresponding connector in the base of the
printer. See figure below.

Installing the Bulk Paper Feeder
Mount the bulk paper feeder onto the rail in the lower deck of the base.
The rail is movable and must be pulled out before installing the bulk
paper feeder.
1. Pull the rail fully out until it stops. See figure below.
2. Grasp the feeder by the two handles in the side covers.
3. Facing the paper output slot of the feeder toward the printer,
align the (four) positioning tabs on the rail of the base with the
holes in the base of the feeder. Then slowly and carefully lower
the feeder onto the base.
Ensure that the arrow marks on the rail are
correctly aligned with the arrow marks on the
front side of the feeder before proceeding.

4. Slide the rail with the feeder mounted back toward the printer
until the connector on the front side of the feeder is fully
connected to the connector on the base, holding the feeder by
the both hands.
When mounting the feeder to the printer, be
careful to avoid pinching your fingers between
the two.
Do not use the adjuster knob on the top of the
feeder or the feeder plastic cover as a handle
for sliding the feeder.
Make sure that the connector of the bulk paper feeder is
properly aligned with the connector on the front side of the
printer base unit.
This completes setting up the feeder with the printer. Before using the
feeder, plug the printer to power and load paper in the bulk paper
feeder (explained in the following pages).

Operating the Optional Bulk Paper Feeder
This chapter describes how to load paper in the feeder and to select the
feeder as the paper source.
When the tray is rising or descending, please observe
the following precautions.
❐❐
❐❐
❐Keep your fingers out of the slot on the inner side
of the feeder.
❐❐
❐❐
❐While the tray is descending, keep your hands out
from under the tray.
❐❐
❐❐
❐Do not push down on the tray or pull it upward.
Loading Paper
Once the feeder has been installed in accordance with the instructions
provided previously; you can prepare to load paper. Before loading
paper, you must adjust the side plates inside the feeder to the actual
width of the paper to be loaded.
The legal-size paper is not usable with the bulk paper
feeder. For details on paper size, see the printer’s
User’s Manual.
1. Turn printer power on. The paper feeder is turned on
simultaneously.
2. Gently open the feeder’s tray cover. The paper tray will lower.

3. Make sure that the paper tray is lowered and stopped. Then,
while watching the side plates inside the feeder, rotate the
paper adjuster knob on top of the feeder clockwise. Stop
rotating the knob when the side plates have been set to their
widest settings (outmost positions). See figure below.
4. Place several sheets of the paper you are going to use with the
feeder on the center of the paper tray.
5. Adjust the side plates by rotating the adjuster knob on top of
the feeder counterclockwise so that the left and right side edges
of the paper are flush with the left and right side plates.
Then, rotate the adjuster knob half a turn clockwise. This
allows an approximately 1 mm gap between each side of the
paper stack and the side plate, which is needed to ensure the
proper paper feeding. See figure below.
Make sure that the paper edges are evenly
aligned on the center of the tray and the front
edge of the stack fully abuts on the feeder’s
inside panel

6. Load up to 2,000 sheets of paper (four standard reams of
packages of paper with a thickness of 0.1 mm) onto the tray.
Fan and flex each ream as you load it. Load the paper with the
side on which printing is done facing upward in the feeder.
Don’t put in more paper than the load limit
indicated on the inside of the feeder. See figure
below.
7. Close the cover. The tray will rise and a sheet will feed
partially into the printer. The printer indicates Ready and the
feeder is ready for operation.

Cleaning Paper Jam
If the printer’s message display shows Paper jam or Add paper (even
though the feeder has paper loaded inside), detach the paper feeder
from the printer by sliding with the rail away from the printer, holding
the bulk paper feeder by both hands as shown below.
If paper is partially fed out from the feeder’s output slot, pull the paper
out by hand as shown.
When paper is protruding from the feeder’s output
slot, always remove it by pulling the paper in its
normal direction of travel. Never pull paper
backwards.
If paper is not stuck at the feeder’s output slot, open the feeder cover
and pull the paper in the feeder.
If no paper is found jammed inside the paper feeder, slide the bulk
paper feeder away from the printer, and check if paper is jammed
inside the printer.

Einleitung
Die PF-SE ist eine Massenpapierzuführung für Kyocera Mita
Seitendrucker. Wenn die Mehrzweckzuführung entfernt und die
Massenpapierzuführung vorne am Drucker installiert wird, können
bis zu etwa 2000 Blätter (mit einer Blattstärke von 0,1 mm)
fortlaufend bedruckt werden. Die normale Papierkassette des
Druckers kann weiterhin als zweite Papierquelle gewählt werden. Die
Massenpapierzuführung wird mit einem Sockel geliefert, auf dem
der Drucker und die Papierzuführung montiert werden können. Über
das Bedienfeld des Druckers oder über den Druckertreiber können
Sie die Papierquelle selbst wählen.
Lesen Sie diese Anleitung bitte vor Verwendung der optionalen
Massenpapierzuführung durch und folgen Sie anschließend genau
den Anleitungen zum Installieren und Benutzen der
Papierzuführung.
