For best performance

Toner cartridge and drum cartridge

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

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

–Damage to the unit

–Poor print quality

–Improper operation

Toner cartridge

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

Drum cartridge

RRead the instructions on page 11 before you begin installation of the drum cartridge. After you have read them, open the drum cartridge protective bag. The drum cartridge contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you have opened the protective bag:

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

–Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.

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

–Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

RTo extend the life of the drum cartridge, the power switch should never be turned OFF immediately after

Important Information

printing. Leave the power turned ON for a minimum of 30 minutes after printing.

Location

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

Static electricity

RTo 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

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

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

1.5 Toner cartridge and drum cartridge

The supplied toner cartridge is a starter toner cartridge.

Caution:

RRead the following instructions before you begin installation. After you have read them, open the drum cartridge protective bag. The drum cartridge contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you have opened the protective bag:

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

–Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface inside of the drum cartridge.

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

–Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

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

RWe cannot be responsible for any damage to the unit or degradation of print quality which may occur from the use of a non-Panasonic toner and drum cartridges.

RDo not add toner to the toner cartridge.

1Before opening the protective bag of the new toner cartridge, shake it vertically more than 5 times.

2Remove the toner cartridge and drum cartridge from the protective bags. Peel off the seal (A) from the toner cartridge.

Caution:

RTo prevent injuries, be careful not to put your hands under the top cover.

When to replace the toner cartridge and the drum cartridge

When the display shows the following, replace the toner cartridge.

–“TONER LOW”

–“TONER EMPTY”

Note:

RTo check the drum life and quality, please print the printer test list (page 104) and refer to page 106 for information on the drum life. If printing quality is still

poor or “REPLACE DRUM” appears on the display, replace the toner cartridge and drum cartridge.

RTo ensure that the unit operates properly, we recommend the use of Panasonic toner and drum cartridges. See page 8 for accessory information.

RTo maintain print quality and machine life, we recommend you to clean slots and openings (page 5) and the inside of the unit (page 100, 103) when replacing the toner cartridge and/or drum cartridge.

RSee page 106 for information on toner life and drum life.

Waste disposal method

Waste material should be disposed of under conditions which meet all national and local environmental regulations.

Toner save feature

If you want to reduce toner consumption, set the toner save setting to ON (feature #482 on page 63). The toner cartridge will last approximately 20 % longer. This feature may lower the print quality.

1.7 Recording paper

The paper input tray unit can hold:

–Up to 250 sheets of 60 g/m2 to 75 g/m2 paper.

–Up to 230 sheets of 80 g/m2 paper.

–Up to 200 sheets of 90 g/m2 paper.

RA4, letter, B5 and 16K-size paper can be used. B5 and 16K-size paper can only be used when using the unit for printing or copying.

RPlease refer to page 105 for information on recording paper.

RThe unit is set for printing A4-size plain paper by default.

–To use other paper sizes, change the recording paper size setting (feature #380 on page 62).

–To use thin paper, change the recording paper type setting (feature #383 on page 62).

Note for recording paper:

RWe recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing large quantities.

RDo not use the following types of paper:

–Paper with cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes

–Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured

–Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper

–Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs or staples

–Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains

–Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.

–Moist paper

–Inkjet paper

RSome paper is designed to be printed on only one side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you are not happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding occurs.

RFor proper paper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.

RDo not use paper of different types or thicknesses at the same time. This may cause paper jams.

RAvoid double-sided printing.

RDo not use paper printed from this unit for double-sided printing with other copiers or printers. This may cause paper jams.

RTo avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.

RFor customers who live in high humidity areas: Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned room at all times. If you print using moist paper, it may cause paper jam.

1Pull the paper input tray (A) until it clicks into place, then pull it completely out, lifting the front part of the tray.

1.7.1 Manual input tray

You can use the manual input tray for printing with the computer and for copying. It can hold one page at a time. When printing or copying multiple pages, add a next page after the first page has been fed into the unit.

RPlease refer to page 105 for information on recording paper.

RThe unit is set for printing A4-size plain paper by default.

You can print documents, scan documents, receive faxes or send faxes (KX-MB2030 only) using a computer connected to the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit.

Important:

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

2.11.1 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, turn the power switch ON.

R 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 26 for details.

Note:

RYou 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 network access and configuration troubles.

2.11.2 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.
