F248 Error on a Kyocera FS-6525 MFP – Driver Issue
Our office Kyocera FS-6525 MFP (Multifunction Printer) started stopping in the middle of printing (usually only after printing 1 or 2 pages) with the error code F248 showing. The error kept coming after print was sent from a particular machine.
This helped to isolate the problem.
F248 code indicates a communication error; usually the printer does not understand the data coming from the computer. This usually shows if the drivers are incorrect. Fortunately, it’s very easy to fix this.
Firstly, it would also be a good idea to update the firmware for the printer to the latest. However, this is not necessary.
In order to get the printer and computer communicating properly, you simple have to ensure the right driver is used. This is done by going to the Control Panel, click on View Devices and Printer and select your printer then right click and select Properties.
In Properties, select the Advanced tab and check the driver being used. In my case, the default was a universal driver, KX Driver for Universal Printing.
Click the drop down box and select the appropriate driver, if it’s installed. If not, then you need to install the right driver which should come with the printer. However, if this not available, then you need to check the manufacturers website to download it.

I have experienced many f248 errors, but one I just looked at was baffling. Kyocera 7550ci…Multiple workstations with a mix of Windows 7 and 8. With the network cable plugged in, the machine starts to receive data then codes out. I checked every queue on every computer, even the hp, savin, etc…No print jobs in any queue. Changed 7550 IP address and changed all the driver ports to match. Print works fine. Changed another Savin printer to the old kyocera IP…Problem job printed. Located owner and it was a windows 8 user which I had already check the queues on. I have no idea where the print job was hanging out!!
