R The 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 59).
– To use thin paper, change the recording paper
type setting (feature #383 on page 59).
Note for recording paper:
R We recommend that you test paper (especially
special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before
purchasing large quantities.
R Do 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
R Some paper only accept print on one side. Try using
the other side of the paper if you are not happy with
the print quality or if misfeeding occurs.
R For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we
recommend using long-grained paper.
R Do not use paper of different types or thicknesses at
the same time. This may cause paper jams.
R Avoid double-sided printing.
R Do not use paper printed from this unit for
double-sided printing with other copiers or printers.
This may cause paper jams.
R To 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.
R For 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.

2.11 Configuring the unit to
access the LAN (KX-MB2030
only)
You can print documents, scan documents, receive
faxes or send faxes 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:
R Consult 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.
1 After 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.
2 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 24 for details.
Note:
R You 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.
