Precautions

Installation • Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to direct sunlight, near heating equipment, or near air-conditioning vents as this may cause stretching and/or discoloration of the screen.

Do not install the unit in strong sunlight or strong lighting. Proper copying may become impossible.

Do not install the unit in locations where the temperature may change suddenly as this may disable the unit’s ability to make copies.

in damage to the unit.

 

 

 

Do not erase with an overly dirty eraser (see page 24).

Use a commercially available white board cleaner for hard-to-erase stains. (SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.)

Do not attach chart paper to the screen film for copying as this may result in damage to the unit.

Markers,

• Use only the included or designated markers, erasers and thermal transfer film. (See page

Erasers and

28.)

Thermal

Use of accessories other than those included or designated (such as oil-based

Transfer Film

markers) may damage the screen or result in hard-to-erase markings.

Do not store the thermal transfer film in a location subject to extreme changes in temperature (such as near air conditioning or heating equipment) as this may cause condensation on the thermal transfer film and result in poor print quality and/or paper jams.

The length of one roll of designated thermal transfer film (Replacement film: UG-6001) is approximately 50 meters (164 ft.). One roll of thermal transfer film can make approximately 150 sheets of copies.

Note that the total number of copies may differ depending on the operating conditions. Also note that the length of the thermal transfer film supplied with the unit is shorter than the replacement film roll and is only approximately 10 meters (32.8 ft.).

Store markers horizontally as vertical storage may stop the ink from coming out.

Power Cord • The included power cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other devices.

When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from the electrical power socket and from the printer’s power connector and coil it for transportation as stepping on the power cord or having it catch on something during movement may result in damage to the cord.

Replacing

• Dispose of the used thermal transfer film in a trash receptacle for burnable trash.

the Thermal

• A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film. (To protect the

Transfer Film

security of your information, we recommend cutting up the used thermal transfer film with

 

scissors or shredder before disposing of it.)

USB Cable • Use a shielded USB cable that is certified as logo by USB-IF.

If you connect the electronic board to a USB hub, it is not guaranteed to work.

Do not connect two or more Panasonic electronic boards to a computer. It may cause the computer operation to become unstable.

Projector

• Light from the projector may enter the eye when using a projector to project images for the

 

purpose of making presentations and so on. Be very careful as direct projector light may

 

hurt the eyes.

Loading Copy Paper

Loading Copy Paper

It is possible to load up to 40 sheets of Letter size copy paper [assuming a paper weight of 80 g/m2 (20 lb.)].

Note that only Letter size paper may be used.

When the unit is first used or when “ ” flashes on the Multi-Copy/Error Indicator to indicate that the unit is out of paper, load copy paper as described below.

Notes on Loading Copy Paper

Follow the guidelines below to ensure smooth and accurate printing by the unit.

Only use Letter size copy paper having a weight of 60 g/m2 (16 lb.) to 90 g/m2 (24 lb.) as the copy paper for this unit.

Do not simultaneously load paper of varying type and thickness as this may result in paper jams.

Before adding copy paper, be sure to remove all the copy paper remaining inside the unit’s paper cover. (Note that copy paper will slightly resist being removed, but may be pulled out without problems.) After removing the copy paper, stack the removed paper together with the new paper, fan it thoroughly, square it and reload.

2 Project an image on the screen.

Caution

Light from the projector may enter the eye when using a projector to project images for the purpose of making presentations and so on. Be very careful as direct projector light may hurt the eyes.

Note

Letters can be written on the projector screen by the marker provided. However, the writing may be harder to erase than on the other screens. To erase them, use a commercially available white board cleaner (SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.).

Replacing the Thermal

Transfer Film

The unit is capable of producing about 15 more copies when the Contrast/Remaining Film Indicator begins to flash. The unit has run out of thermal transfer film and can no longer make copies when the Multi-Copy/Error Indicator flashes “ ”. Separately available replacement film (UG-6001) may be purchased from the dealer where you purchased the unit. Thermal transfer film is replaced as follows.

Notes on Replacing Thermal Transfer Film

Only use the designated product (UG-6001) from Panasonic as the replacement film. (Note that using another type of replacement film may result in degraded printing quality or damage to the unit.)

Thermal transfer film is disposable. Dispose of used thermal transfer film as burnableor nonrecyclablerubbish.

A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film. To protect the security of your information, we recommend cutting up the used thermal transfer film with scissors or shredder before disposing of it.

1Push down the printer open lever to open the printer door, and remove the used film.
