Poor Print Quality or Misprinting Documents
Get the highest quality prints with ease.
Check the toner level on the panel before printing.
A Kyocera laser device uses toner, not ink.
If the level is fine, clean the platen glass and the narrow strip of glass beside it with a lint free cloth.
For model specific diagnostics on the TASKalfa 2554ci, see our dedicated 2554ci print quality diagnostics guide covering banding, faded output, and colour registration issues.
Do not put cotton buds or a cloth inside the drum unit.
The drum surface scratches easily, and a scratched drum prints a line down every page from then on.
Don’t let paper settings be your printer’s downfall.
Set the paper type before you send the job.
Choose from the list Kyocera approves, and the machine will feed cleanly.
In case only certain documents aren’t printing, switch up its status offline/online – this could do wonders.
Run the Windows diagnostics now and then.
Right click the printer icon, open Properties, then look at the Maintenance tab.
When the same fault keeps returning on an ageing machine, it is usually cheaper to lease a Kyocera printer and have toner, parts and call outs sit inside one monthly figure.
Printer Not Responding/Not Connecting To Computer/Network Device Problem
Are you having trouble connecting your PC to a printer?
Don’t worry, there’s an easy way out.
Try using Windows’ built in troubleshooter tool in the Control Panel.
Printing from a phone or tablet is its own puzzle.
Our guide on setting up Kyocera mobile printing covers the usual WiFi and Bluetooth faults.
If that fails, check the WiFi access point settings.
Pause the firewall briefly to test, then switch it back on and add a rule for the printer.
Have you been experiencing trouble with your Kyocera printer?
Why not try changing the online/offline status for both sides – it could be just what’s needed to establish a connection between two devices without manual intervention.
You should also check other networking settings like TCP/IP protocol, making sure that any faulty services are reset and restarted properly.
And if an ageing machine keeps letting you down, you can work out your monthly price in 43 seconds for a fully maintained replacement.
Don’t forget to turn power switches on and confirm that all USB cables are secure – these small details can often make a big difference.
If issues persist, however, don’t hesitate in contacting Kyocera’s customer service department which will provide tailored advice, so you get printing again soon.

Kyocera faults, and what fixes each one
Short, direct answers to what Australian businesses ask us most about this.
Why is my Kyocera printer not printing?
Work through four checks in order.
Confirm the panel is showing ready and not an error code.
Check paper and toner.
Clear the print queue and restart the print spooler on the computer.
Then check the network cable or wifi and confirm the printer IP address has not changed.
How do I fix streaks or poor print quality on a Kyocera?
Streaks usually mean dirty scanner glass, a worn drum unit or low toner.
Clean the platen and the narrow slit glass strip beside it.
Run drum refresh from the maintenance menu.
Then shake or replace the toner.
If the mark repeats in the same position on every page it is a part rather than a setting.
What do Kyocera error codes mean?
Kyocera splits its codes by prefix.
Codes in the J range are jam codes, and the panel names the section to open.
Codes beginning with C are hardware and service errors, and most of those need a technician rather than a reset.
Follow the location the panel names rather than pulling paper from the nearest tray.
Why will my Kyocera not scan to email?
Scan to email fails when the SMTP server, port, sender address or login details are wrong.
It also fails when the mail provider tightens its security settings.
Check those four fields in Command Center RX and confirm the device has a valid sender address.
When is a Kyocera worth repairing rather than replacing?
Compare the repair quote against the monthly cost of a leased replacement.
If the machine is out of warranty, past its rated life, or needs a drum, fuser and rollers at once, a lease can work out cheaper each month.
A GDS lease also covers the parts, labour and call outs the agreement includes, so the running cost stops moving.
