Re: Kyocera ci problem

Canon has PCL drivers for Mac's

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Yes, PS is used for Macs but my understanding is that KDPL (postcript) should/can be used on a windows machine when you want the best quality. That's why it's slower than PCL5.

True, but there are exceptions to every rule.

We've had bizhub Presses running a generic PCL driver on a Mac with success. This is the first place to experiment when you have print issues. Try each of the emulations to see which gives the best results. =^..^=

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Usually PS for Mac's
PCL5c pretty good

Sometimes you got to find one that works for a weird font issue but Pcl5 almost never has issues.

PCL for speed. KDPL (Post Script) for quality. Right?

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Yes All Kyocera use Pcl XL kyocera
Pcl5 Hp
KDPL postscript

Normally we default to pcl5
Kyocera XL usally Sucks .

Re: Kyocera ci problem

I know most Kyocera techs on here probably aren't too interested in Prescribe but I've been unable to put it down once I learned that it existed. I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze but I decided to stop playing around and actually read the 400+ page manual. This is basically learning a new language.

I'm curious how many Kyocera factory trained techs had to learn prescribe and what level of expertise were you able to achieve?

One thing the manual did force me to do is learn about about the different Kyocera print drivers and emulations. That was interesting and I should have taken the time to learn it long ago. Better late than never, I suppose.


Blackcat, what did you get me into?

Factory trained Prescribe class in Texas
Only a few times using in the field.
Your can create forms, logos etc.....
Best real world was replacing a dot matrix printer
and repeat copy using all 4 trays on colored paper.

Not used that much but a factory dealer get discount points IE dealer score if your trained.

Plus did have to use it a few times.

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Question about resetting NIC for TA-3501i that I have here at the shop.

When I execute:

Reset for internal network is : ECHO !R! SIOP0,"RESET:0"; EXIT;

Reset for option network is : ECHO !R! SIOP2,"RESET:0"; EXIT;

The command seems to go thru for both and I get a black sheet of paper printed out. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Also, I read a couple of other commands on here for resetting the NIC but I get an error message relating to job accounting which is turned off. Here are those 2 commands:


!R! ACNT "EGRE";EXIT;


!R! ACNT "REST";EXIT;

Re: Kyocera ci problem

If you have a Kyocera printer in the office to play with, you'll find a few data captures in the folder with the utility.

I did throw in an excess of detail ... like usual. One last comment: Don't get creative with the command syntax. An extra period or an extra space will screw up the whole thing. Keep it simple.

Congratulations on your success. =^..^=

It wasn't excess. You gave me enough to keep me busy for a while. I love learning this stuff. Should pay off down the road somewhere. Thanks again.

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Hard to say dont think iclink would have work if Nic card was frozen.

Only have use iclink a handful of times in the past.
Older Kyocera models you could change some parameters through the web page.

blackcat mentioned ICLINK but said it was mostly unsuccessful. The Jar Method is simple enough and it seems reliable.

He also mentioned that I can send a data capture to the printer and it will print without a print driver. That's next on the list.

Re: Kyocera ci problem

That does sound pretty cool. Now that I know how to use prescribe, I'll keep learning how to do more stuff. This is one of those things that might not be needed often but when you need it, you really need it. I really needed it yesterday before I ran U021. lol

Re: Kyocera ci problem

You can also type in direct in iclink.
You can also really really screw up a machine should you start playing with margins etc...
99.99 never adjust unless Hotline or Tech rep tells you.
The problem is elsewhere. IE clutch etc...

You can also do some special features
as we replaced a dot matrix printer
we set it up to make copies 4 copies using 4 different paper trays. Pretty cool

Re: Kyocera ci problem

Thanks to a little help (he basically held my hand and walked me through it. ) from blackcat I sent my first prescribe command and it worked.

Side Note: In my head I had built up Prescribe as the 500lb. guerilla in the room but that couldn't be further from the truth. As long as you use the LPR Jar method, enable Java and save the command in notepad as a txt document, you're golden.


Thanks for all your help blackcat. Much appreciated.
