Energy Star

The DP-130/135/150 copier complies with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies certain energy consumption and usage standards for copiers. These copiers will automatically “power down” after a specified period of non-use.

The use of these Energy Star compliant copiers will reduce energy consumption and ultimately benefit the environment.

The default functions can be adjusted depending on your office requirements. Please see your authorized Panasonic copier dealer for more details.

With Metafile Spooling enabled, a file is spooled in EMF format (metafile compression). With the function disabled, a file is spooled in RAW (non-compression) format. Specifying RAW format results in a longer time before an application becomes operational after printing on the application.

Note: Spooling by EMF format may cause the following problems on some application software.

1) Printing result is different from screen display.

2) Printing requires excessive time.

While documents are being printed, a printer indicator remains displayed on the left side of the clock on the task bar. The indicator disappears when printing is completed.

You may double-click on the indicator to open and verify the details of the print queue in the spooler.

NOTE

Follow the steps below to set a default printer:

Click the Start button and select Printers in the Settings menu. Select the printer icon in the window and select in dropdown

menu by right-clicking it. Then the check mark is displayed.

Print Operation

Printing on Network

For sharing a printer by connecting two computers via crossed-cable or using a hub, a connection among computers must be established. Establishing a connection among computers is verified by displaying the connected computers in Network Neighborhood on the desktop.

The settings for printer sharing is specified by the following steps:

Printer server (PC connected to a printer)

Install the printer driver on a computer to be connected to the main unit.

Click the Start button, place the cursor on Settings, and then click Printers.

Select the printer icon and select [Sharing...] in the dropdown menu by right-clicking it.

Click the button.

Upon completion of the settings, the shape of the icon changes displaying sharing settings.

NOTE

Refer to the manuals of network cards and Windows users guide for connection among computers.

On Windows 95/98/Me, a computer connected to a printer must have been set up to allow printer sharing by the following operations:

1. Double-click on Network in control panel, and then click button in the Network Configuration tab.

2. Check [I want to be able to allow others to print to my printer(s).] in the File and Print Sharing dialog box.

Troubleshooting

Starting with:

If the printing operation fails, check the following points first:

The printer cable is properly connected. Length of the printer cable is not longer than 6 ft. (2 m). Power to the device is turned on. Paper is loaded on the device properly. Error message is not displayed on device.

The above points can be verified by printing a test page. Refer to the following for procedures for test page printing:

Windows 95/98/Me [General Tab] (See page 14) Windows NT 4.0 [General Tab] (See page 27) Windows 2000 [General Tab] (See apge 46)

NOTE

The status of the devices can be verified by the status monitor.

Troubleshooting

Document is not printed correctly

Problem

Printing position is wrong

Characters and symbols not used in documents are printed

Printing operation takes excessive time

Action

Paper size or printing orientation is different between the application settings and the printer driver settings. Specify the settings again. The specified paper has not been loaded on the device. Specify the settings again or load the appropriate paper.

Verify that the Panasonic DP-130/135/150 has been selected as the printer driver.

The wait time for printing operations depends on the spool settings. Select Spool print jobs so program finishes printing faster in spool settings. Reference : Windows 95/98/Me [Details Tab] (See page 15)

Windows NT 4.0 [Advanced Tab] (See page 37) Windows 2000 [Advanced Tab] (See page 49)

Error messages displayed on the computer

Troubleshooting

Problem

Error in writing to LPT1. Unable to write to the Specified device.

Error in writing to LPT1. Printer timeout error occurred.

Printing is disabled due to error in the current printer settings

Action

Verify that the device is connected to the computer correctly. Verify that the power of the device is turned on. Verify that the paper is properly loaded.

Verify that the power of the device is turned on. Excessive data volume or number of pages may overflow the device's memory, disabling data reception. Increase the timeout setting value in properties (for transmission retry). Reference: Windows 95/98/Me [Details Tab] (See page 15)

Windows NT 4.0 [Ports Tab] (See page 29) Windows 2000 [Ports Tab] (See page 48)

Differences in settings such as paper size or printing orientation exists between the application and the printer driver. Specify the correct settings.
