Cautions

MacintoshWindows

Basics

To avoid machine malfunction, do not use the equipment under the following conditions:

Cautions

Ink jet media

Not genuine toner

• Insert a stack of media into the manual feed. (Insert media one page at a time.)

• Media for ink jet printers (paper, transparency, etc.) or transparency for color laser printers; may wrap around the fuser heat roller and cause damage, and may need to be replaced.

• Any toner other than genuine Panasonic toner; it may damage the printer.

• Unstable or unlevel surfaces. • Directly in front of air

conditioning vents.

• Liquids near the equipment.

• Areas of poor ventilation.

• Areas of high dust or chemical

fume concentration. (solvent etc.)

• Direct exposure to sunlight.

• Extremely high or low

temperature [temperature range: 10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)]

• Extremely high or low humidity. (humidity range: 20% to 80% RH)

• Condensation due to rapid change of temperature.

Cautions

MacintoshWindows

Basics

■ Static Electricity Damage

To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following components, touch a grounded metal surface, such as the printer’s bare metal frame prior to touching the component.

• Interface connectors : parallel, USB, connector for 2nd feeder and network (KX-P7310 only)

• Electrical components, connectors inside the printer

■ Interface Cable

Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an unshielded cable can result in radio interference with data.

■ Power Source

Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or surge protector, it may cause a printer error.

■ Ventilation Space

Adequate ventilation space is required between the printer and any walls, 20 mm (8 inches) is recommended.

Basics

See the setup guide(s) for the following instructions.

• Installing the toner cartridge and drum unit

• Connecting cables

• Installing the printer software

The media is printed out to the output tray (top of the printer). When using thick paper [106 165 g/m

(29-44 lb.)] or when an envelope is printed, it may be curled. You can avoid this by opening the rear cover and the media is printed straight out. However, it needs to be removed after the media is printed out to avoid a media jam. For available media, see “About Media” on

page 9.

NOTE

• Be sure to use manual feed when printing a document on a thick paper [106 -165 g/m

(29-44 lb.)] or label.

• Plain paper (A4, Letter, Legal, B5, Executive) can be loaded in the optional 2nd feeder.

NOTE

• Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the media, which can result in a smudged print.

• Reusing media (used paper or jammed paper) that has been fed through the printer once can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.

4 Place media with the print side down.

•Transparencies, labels or envelope cannot be loaded in the optional 2nd feeder.
