Warning
FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to
this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of the
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Radio interference requirement in European countries
The optional Hard disk unit HD-2 is intended for use with the printer models FS-
6700/FS-7000/FS-7000+ which are type tested and categorized as a Class B
computing device in accordance with the EN55022 rules.
Device in the Class B category may cause interference to radio or television
reception particularly in a residential installation.

Precautions for Handling the Hard Disk
When handling the hard disk, adhere to the following precautions.
• The hard disk is delivered in an antistatic bag. To prevent any damage, briefly
touch a large metal object to ensure discharge of static electricity before
removing the hard disk from the bag.
• Never touch the hard disk’s connector section directly with hands.
• When holding the hard disk, do not contact hand with surface of the circuit
board; hold at the edges of the circuit board.
• Never apply force to the metallic portion of the hard disk’s surface.
• Do not touch the exposed portion beneath the hole in the surface with fingers.
• Do not apply undue force when installing.
Note The HD-2 hard disk should be installed by your Kyocera dealer.
Please note that Kyocera may not warrant the hard disk in case of
trouble because the customer has attempted installation by him/
herself.

Installing the Hard Disk in the Printer
The HD-2 hard disk is installed in the location marked OPT2 on the rear panel.
CAUTION Before installing (or removing) the HD-2 hard disk, be sure to
turn off the printer’s power and disconnect the power cord
plug from theAC outlet.
It is possible to move an HD-2 hard disk that has been
installed in one printer to another printer if the printers are
the same model. However, if the HD-2 is moved to a different
model printer, data accumulated on the HD-2 will be lost.
Note that in this case, the HD-2 can still be used if it is
formatted, but the accumulated data is lost.
1. Detach the cover over the slot (OPT2) for optional devices as shown in
the illustration.
2. Remove the HD-2 from the package and insert it with care by sliding it
along the rails inside the slot in the printer as shown in the illustration.
3. After proper insertion, clamp the HD-2 using the two screws removed in
step 1above. This completes installation of the hard disk.

Virtual Mail Box (VMB) (Except for FS-7000)
The Virtual Mail Box (VMB) function is a mail box function for the printer which
does not require a physical mail box to be attached to the printer. This function can
be used by attaching this hard disk unit to the printer. Once the hard disk is
attached to the printer, a HARD DISK menu will be added to the MODE SELECT
menu as shown on page 12, allowing the virtual mail box function to be used.
With a virtual mail box, unlike a physical mailbox, data sent from the computer is
stored in the HD-2 as rasterized data. This stored data accumulates in a numbered
virtual output tray. When it is time to actually print the data, it is printed by
specifying the virtual output tray number where the data is stored using the
printer’s control panel or an optional barcode reader (BC-1).
Note If all the data in a virtual output tray is printed, all data in that tray
will be deleted. If printing is halted by pressing the cancel key
during printing, data in that tray will not be deleted. Data is not
deleted unless all data in the virtual output tray is printed.
The main features of the virtual mailbox are as follows.
•Locked mailbox
Allowing a password to be set for the virtual output tray, this feature lets you
print out confidential documents.
•Multilevel mailbox
Supporting up to 255 virtual output trays, mail boxes can be allocated at the
individual level rather than by the user’s job title or group.
•Large capacity mailbox
There is no limit on the size per virtual output tray. Since the only limit is on the
total size of all trays, all of the HD-2 can be used.

18
Outputting to a VMB
When sending data to a virtual output tray set within the HD-2, make this setting
from the printer driver. With this setting, data can be sent by specifying the desired
virtual output tray number. It is also possible to assign a name to a virtual output
tray and send data by specifying that name. (For details on this setting, please refer
to the help documentation for the printer driver.)
When data is sent by specifying a virtual output tray, printing to paper is not
performed at the time data is sent. Sent data accumulates in the virtual output trays
of the HD-2. For details on printing accumulated data, please see the next item.
Printing Accumulated VMB Data
This function prints VMB data accumulated in a virtual output tray.
1. Display HARD DISK > on the printer’s MODE SELECT menu and
press the key to display >Print VMB data Tray. The VMB tray
number will appear in the location marked by #’s below, while the VMB
tray name will appear in the location marked by %’s.
>Print VMB data

to accept a password. The cursor will blink in the one’s place of the
displayed number. Enter the correct password. Use the and keys to
change places and the +or –keys to change the displayed number.
Passwords from 00001 to 65535 can be entered.
5. Press the ENTER key once the correct password is entered.
Processing will be displayed and the data will be printed. If the
