interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interfer-
ence at his own expense.
Radio interference requirement in European countries
The optional universal feeder DU-31 is intended for use with the printer
models FS-7000, FS-7000+ and FS-9000 which are type tested and catego-
rized as a Class B computing device in accordance with the EN55022 rules.

Duplex Printing
After the duplexer is installed, the duplex printing menu is added to the printer’s
mode selection menu as shown below (added menu enclosed in frame), and it is
used to switch the duplex printing mode on/off and to set the orientation for duplex
printing.

Duplex Printing Mode
The printing operation flow in duplex printing mode is as follows. Initially, the first
sheet is fed and page 2 of the document is printed on one side of the sheet. The first
printed sheet is temporarily transferred to the duplexer. Then the printer feeds the
second sheet on which page 4 is printed on one side. After page 4 has printed, the
first sheet held in the duplexer is again sent to the printer’s transfer unit for printing
of page 1. This completes printing of the first sheet and this is output. Following
this and while the second sheet, on which page 4 has been printed on one side, is
retained on standby in the duplexer, the printer feeds the third sheet and prints page
6 on this sheet. The operation is now repeated as described above to perform the
duplex printing.

Setting the Binding Mode
To bind printed sheets like a book is called “binding.” There are two forms of
binding; “long edge” which is binding on the long side of the page, and “short
edge” which is binding on the short side of the page. You can select both portrait
and landscape printing for both long edge and short edge binding.
Binding type and printing direction can be set using the following four binding
modes. These are 1Portrait / Long edge, 2Portrait / Short edge, 3Landscape /
Long edge, 4Landscape / Short edge. (See the figures below.)
Binding mode
In the portrait/long edge and landscape/short edge modes (1, 4), both sides of the
page are printed in the up to down direction.
In the portrait/short edge mode and landscape/long edge mode (2, 3), the front
side of the page and the rear side of the page are printed in reverse up/down
directions.

Duplex printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray
In first mode, be sure to set the MP tray to the same paper size, paper type and feed
direction as set for the current cassette. If the paper size, type or feed direction
differs, a paper jam may result.Also note that it is not possible to select the multi-
purpose tray as the current cassette and perform duplex printing. We therefore
recommended that duplex printing be performed from the paper cassette.
Note In the case of an FS-7000, duplex printing is not possible from the
printer’s MP (multi-purpose) tray, the optional envelope feeder (EF-
1), or optional universal feeder (UF-1). If duplex printing is at-
tempted from these paper sources, the mode is automatically
canceled and the printed paper is output from the face-up tray.
When the duplex printing mode is set to off, paper can also be
output from the face-down tray. However, when feeding paper from
the envelope feeder, output is through the face-up tray.

Clearing Paper Jams
Error messages and remedial actions when paper jamming has occurred during
duplex printing are explained in the following section.
WARNING Take care not to leave any small pieces of paper in the printer
when removing paperjams. This could result in fire.
This section describes how to remove paper when it jams in the printer. The printer
will stop whenever paper jams in the printer or paper is not fed from a cassette. The
printer will go offline and the message Paper jam Open front cover
will appear on the message display.
Paper jam
Open front cover
Opening the printer’s front cover will cause the message display to change. It will
now indicate the coded location (Athrough Iand 1through 6) of the paper jam.
Example
Paper jam
C, H, I, 3
In this example, paper is jammed in the paper feeder (C), paper feed unit (H),
duplexer (I), and in the upper cassette of the optional paper feeder (3). The
corrective action to take in cases like this is explained using actual examples
beginning from page 17.
The meanings of symbols appearing on the message display and the corresponding
locations of paper jams are given in the table on the next page. Be sure to correct
paper jams according to the procedure given on the following pages.

6. Open the two transparent plastic covers at the top of the duplexer.
Remove any jammed paper from the inside as shown in the following
figure.
7. Following removal of the paper, return the transparent plastic covers to
their original positions and reinsert the duplexer into the printer. The
message display indication changes to Front cover Open.
8. Close the printer’s front cover. This completes the actions for clearing
paper jamming.
Notes • Sometimes the page on which the paper jam occurred will not be
re-printed depending on the location of the paper jam.
• Note that your hands may become dirty from unfused tonerwhen
removing paper jams.
Frequent occurrence of paper jams may indicate you are using a paper specification
which does not suit the printer. If this appears to be the case, please change to a
different type of paper.
If you have tried changing paper types and paper jams still occur frequently, there
may be a problem with the printer. In this case, please contact your Kyocera
dealer.
