Energy Star
The FP-7742 & FP-7750 copiers comply with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies certain energy consumption and
usage standards for copiers. Specifically, the FP-7750 will automatically default to duplexing
or two-sided copying mode when more than one original is placed in the document feeder. In
addition, both the FP-7742 & FP-7750 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.
Do not look directly at exposure lamp when
copying.
■ Do not turn the power switch off or open the front
panel during copying.
• Do not drop paper clips or other metal objects into
the copier.
Toner and Paper
Ventilation
■ Store toner, developer and paper in cool areas
with low humidity.
• High quality paper of 16 lbs. - 24 lbs. (15-30 lbs.
via sheet bypass) may be used.
• For optimum performance, it is recommended that
only Panasonic Brand supplies be used in the copier.
The copier should be installed in a well-ventilated
area, to minimize the ozone density in the air.
Page 7
Installation
The copier should not be installed in areas with the
following conditions:
Extremely high or low temperature and humidity.
Ambient conditions
Temperature: 50T - 86T
Relative humidity: 30% - 80%
Area where temperature and humidity can change
rapidly.
Direct exposure to sunlight.
Directly in air conditioning flow.
In areas of high dust concentration.
In areas of poor ventilation.
In areas with chemical fume concentration.
In areas with extreme vibration.
With unstable or uneven conditions (floors, etc.).
The FP-7742/7750 power consumption is 1.5 kW. A properly wired (with ground), dedicated,
15A, 120V AC outlet is required. Do not use an extension cord.
