Important Information

For best performance

Toner cartridge and drum unit

L When replacing the toner cartridge or drum unit, do not allow dust, water, or liquids to come in contact with the drum. This may affect print quality.

LFor optimal performance, genuine Panasonic toner cartridges and drum units are recommended. We cannot be responsible for problems that may be caused by a non-Panasonic toner cartridge or drum unit:

Damage to the unit

Poor print quality

Improper operation

Toner cartridge

LDo not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.

Drum unit

LRead the instructions on page 9 before you begin installation of the drum unit. After you have read them, open the drum unit protection bag. The drum unit contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you have opened the protection bag:

Do not expose the drum unit to light for more than 5 minutes.

Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.

Do not place the drum unit near dust or dirt, or in a high humidity area.

Do not expose the drum unit to direct sunlight.

LTo extend the life of the drum unit, the unit should never be turned OFF immediately after printing. Leave the power turned ON for a minimum of 30 minutes after printing.

Location

LTo avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate an intense magnetic field.

Static electricity

LTo prevent static electricity damage to the interface connectors or other electrical components inside the unit, touch a grounded metal surface before touching the components.

Environment

LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

L The unit should be kept free from dust, high temperature and vibration.

L The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

LDo not place heavy objects on top of the unit. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from the power outlet.

LThe unit should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. Damp basements should also be avoided.

LIn the printing process, heat is used to fuse toner onto the page. As a result, it is normal for the

machine to produce an odor during and shortly after printing. Be sure to use this unit in an area with proper ventilation.

LDo not place any objects within 10 cm (4 inches) of the right, left and back sides of the unit.

L Do not cover slots or openings on the unit. Inspect the air circulation vents regularly and remove any dust build-up with a vacuum cleaner (1).

1Insert the document (up to 20 pages) FACE UP into the feeder until a single beep is heard.

2Adjust the width of the document guides (1) to fit the actual size of the document.

Note:

LConfirm that there are no documents on the scanner glass.

L Check that ink, paste or correction fluid has dried completely.

L Remove clips, staples or other fasteners.

LDo not set the following types of documents: (Make a copy of the document using the scanner glass and set the copy instead.)

Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper

Electrostatically charged paper

2.10 Configuring the unit to access the LAN (KX-MB781 only)

You can print documents, scan documents, receive faxes or send faxes using a computer on the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit.

Important:

LConsult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server

Your situation:

When only one unit is connected to the LAN.

If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.

1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, connect the power cord.

L The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically.

2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.

Note:

LYou can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid unnecessary trouble.

2.10.2 Setting up manually

Your situation:

When your network administrator does not manage the network with a DHCP server.

When two or more units are connected to the LAN.

You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually.

4Press {MENU} to exit.

5Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 22 for details.

To correct a mistake in the IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway

Press {<} or {>} to move the cursor to the incorrect number, and make the correction.

2.10.3 Setting the computer for PC fax reception

You need to select the computer that will be used for receiving faxes.

1{MENU} i{#}{4}{4}{3} i{SET}

2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to select the desired computer. i{SET}

3Press {MENU} to exit.

Note:

LIf the unit is not connected to the LAN, the computer connected to the unit by USB is assigned as the computer for PC fax reception.

To change the name of the unit

You can change the name of the unit to be easily recognized on the LAN (feature #507 on page 57). This feature is useful when two or more units are connected to the LAN.
