Install MK When it is asking to install MK what is it looking for?

you can reset the counter but on the falcon engines if you go past the maint. cycle they will eventually fall down and print solid black copies.

Press Menu button, then press the up arrow until you find the Adjust/Maintenance. Press the right arrow and search with the up arrow the Service choice. Then press the right button and search with the up or down arrow for Maintenance. Press the OK twice and the Install MK will disappear.

> without buying a Maintenance Kit ?

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

It is telling you that it needs a Maintenance Kit fitted.These are fitted every 500,000 A4 pages.

MK is maintenance kit. It is a kit of items that need to be replaced ie drums/fusers etc. Hopefully you will have a service contract which includes this item as you may well find the cost too much?

MK is the maintenance kit. You can check the Kyocera site to find out where to get a new kit and how much they are:

Most of the time the message is just displayed because the machine has reached a certain number of pages, but it should still let you use it normally.

Its because you've gone past a certain number of pages printed.

install MK means replace the maintains kit . maintains kit is belongs to drum ,developer , drive gears ..... after 250000 print it asking to replace all the things ....... this is not harmful the printer it will work fine don't worry about the install mk....

You have done more than 300,000 pages. I wouldnt waste your money on a Maint Kit, just stretch it out by doing the following.

Press Menu/Ok (Main menu)
Go into [>>Service]
Then press the right arrow.
Then find [>> Maintenance]
Press the ok key, then it will show [>> Maintenance?]
Press the ok key twice, and it will reset all the counts on your consumable components (Drum, Developer, Transfer Roller, ETC)

Go to the menu on the printer and then scroll down to other in the menu then to service then down to maintenance and press enter. when you install the maintenace kit you have to activate developer in the service menu, then turn off the printer and then back on to run the developer unit up.
Print menumap from the printer and follow through to the service area on the display.
Any question ask me.
