caused by a non-Panasonic toner cartridge or drum
unit:
– Damage to the unit
– Poor print quality
– Improper operation
Toner cartridge
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum unit
L Read the instructions on page 13 before you begin
installation of the drum unit. After you have read
them, open the drum unit protection bag. The drum
unit contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to
light may damage the drum. Once you have opened
the protection bag:
– Do not expose the drum unit to light for more than
5 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.
– Do not place the drum unit near dust or dirt, or in
a high humidity area.
– Do not expose the drum unit to direct sunlight.
L To extend the life of the drum unit, the unit should
never be turned OFF immediately after printing.
Leave the power turned ON for a minimum of 30
minutes after printing.
Location
L To avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near
appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate
an intense magnetic field.
Static electricity
L To 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

L In the printing process, heat is used to fuse toner
onto the page. As a result, it is normal for the
machine to produce an odour during and shortly after
printing. Be sure to use this unit in an area with
proper ventilation.
L Do not place any objects within 10 cm of the right, left
and back sides of the unit.

L To check the drum life and quality, please print the
printer test list (page 92) and refer to page 94 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 unit.
L To ensure that the unit operates properly, we
recommend the use of Panasonic toner cartridge
(Model No. KX-FAT92E/KX-FAT92X) and drum
unit (Model No. KX-FAD93E/KX-FAD93X). See
page 11 for accessory information.

1. Introduction and Installation
L To maintain print quality and machine life, we
recommend you to clean slots and openings (page 7)
and the inside of the unit (page 88, 91) when
replacing the toner cartridge and/or drum unit.
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 58). The toner
cartridge will last approximately 40 % longer. This
feature may lower the print quality.

2.10 Configuring the unit to
access the LAN (KX-MB783 only)
You can print documents, scan documents, receive
faxes or send faxes using a computer on the LAN. To
enable these features, you need to set the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit.
Important:
L Consult your network administrator when setting
the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
2.10.1 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, connect the power cord.
L 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 28 for details.
Note:
L 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 unnecessary trouble.
2.10.2 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.
