Dear Davoud
Use

K_POINTS {automatic}
4, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1

for a grid of, e.g., 4*4*4 k points (shifted wrt gamma, this is the meaning of 
the 1,1,1 cards). If you want to include gamma, your six numbers will be 
4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0. Notice that the generated k-points could be replicated (or 
deleted) depending upon the symmetry of your system. Read (more carefully) 
the /yourespresso/Doc/INPUT_PW.txt file for further insight...

Yours

Giuseppe
