Kyocera FS-4000DN Laser Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

there is a black tab in the center where the papers come out that is the tray full sensor arm that is more then likely stuck

You may need an imaging unit. VERY expensive.

Once you have installed and setup a multi-tray printer you might like to try to print a document to different printer trays. Open a word document and create a two page document.

• Select your new printer under file->Print (if it's not the default)
• Click the page layout tab
• Click the small triangle at the bottom right
• Open the page setup dialog box and click the page Paper Tab
• Choose a tray for the first page and other pages. Close the dialog box and print.

make sure dial on front of cassette matches paper size in cassette

no because its a feed source for special paper it wants you to verify what you have loaded

you have a bad engine or main pcb or connection between them

under the front of the cassette on the bottom is a white catch if you pull it towards you the paper will spring up. more then likely it is not automatically getting pushed when you put the cassette in.
if this is not correct if you take the cassette out and look in where you took it out of there should be a arm hanging down just left of center that is the paper out sensor arm of that is broken it could be your problem also

Refer to troubleshooting in the user manual for an explanation of the error and put here if you cannot solve it

Check where the waste toner bottle is, and if it's like the FS2000, the drum unit can be pushed back in from where the bottle attaches to it. Error should then go when you close the lid back down

This error code indicates a problem related to paper cassette lift mechanism. First thing that you will need to check is, if the printer makes some strange noises at initialization, when the printer is trying to lift the paper inside cassette. You can verify if the lift mechanism on the printer is ok, by removing paper cassette and press the 3 small white switches on the left of printer. At this moment the printer is trying to lift the cassette and you will see a gear that rotates on the right side of printer. Also verify if the GEAR LIFT Z64 is intact by opening the gearbox(the big one from the gears from the right side of paper cassette). This gear is cracked in most cases. Replace it.

press drum unit open left door and push drum inside.

Open paper tray, locate the feed roller (small rubbery wheel) and moisten a cloth. Gently clean the roller to remove build up of paper dust from it. Also worth using is some "anti static foam cleanser" on the cloth to help deep clean the rollers, or the pre-moistened "Screen wipes" Also check there is nothing blocking hte paper path, remove paper cassette, and toner catridge (and drum if I recall correctly) and see if you can feed a sheet of paper MANUALLY from tray up into the "imaging chamber" where the toner lives. If this feels too stiff, there could be an obstruction in the way, fragment of paper scrunched up after a REAL jam, or fault sensor arm. If you find something and can remove it, reassemble, and test

first try the default pass word of user name:Admin pass:Admin or Admin00

The error is for the drum unit, it may just need reseating or changing. The best thing is to take it out, give it a clean and reseat it. Hope this works for you.

Call service 2000 main motor error

pull the toner and developer (they come out as one unit unless you delibrately seperate them) out of the top of the printer. Open the side door on the print and remove the waste toner bottle. You'll see a gray button above where the bottle was. Push the button and pull the drum out about a half and inch. Push back in firmly until it clicks. Reinstall bottle and reinstall toner and developer. Should work from there, but you may have to power off, then power on.

C0150 Engine PWB EEPROM Backup Memory Device Problem. EEPROM cannot be written or read. C0150 This is what Kyocera says the problem is.

There is a limit switch that detects when the paper is up.Check it to see if it moves freely.

> without buying a Maintenance Kit ?

Either you buy the kit, or you sell the printer "as is" on eBay, after buying a new printer.
