L For 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
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum cartridge
L Read the instructions on page 11 before you begin
installation of the drum car tridge. After you have read
them, open the drum cartridge protection bag. The drum cartridge contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you have opened the protection bag: – Do not expose the drum cartridge to light for
more than 45 seconds. – Do not touch or scratch the green 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.
L To extend the life of the drum cartridge, the power
switch 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.

you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from the power outlet.
L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. Damp basements should also be avoided.
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 odor 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 (4 inches) of
the right, left and back sides of the unit.

2.10 Configuring the unit to access the LAN
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, turn the power switch ON.
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 25 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.
1 {Menu} 2 Press {#}{5}{0}{0} to display “DHCP”. 3 Press {0} to select “Disabled”. i {Set} 4 Set each item.
For the IP address:
1. Press {5}{0}{1} to display “IP Address”.
2. {Set} i Enter the IP address of the unit. i {Set}
For the subnet mask:
1. Press {5}{0}{2} to display “Subnet Mask”.
2. {Set} i Enter the subnet mask of the network. i {Set}
For the default gateway:
1. Press {5}{0}{3} to display “Default
Gateway”.
2. {Set} i Enter the default gateway of the network. i {Set}
5 Press {Menu} to exit. 6 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 25 for details.
To correct a mistake in the IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway
Press {<} or {>} to move the cursor to the incorrect number, and make the correction.
2.10.3 Setting the computer for PC fax reception
You need to select the computer that will be used for receiving faxes.
L Make sure the PC fax setting is turned ON
beforehand (feature #442 on page 62).
L Make sure the fax preview mode is turned OFF
beforehand (feature #448 on page 62).
1 {Menu} i {#}{4}{4}{3} i {Set} 2 Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to select the desired
computer. i {Set}
3 Press {Menu} to exit.
Note:
L If the unit is not connected to the LAN, the computer
connected to the unit by USB is assigned as the default computer for PC fax reception.
L To select the desired computer easily, change the PC
name beforehand (page 27).

You can print not only on plain paper but also on special media (transparencies / labels / envelopes / card stocks).
L Please refer to page 106 for information on recording
paper.
L To load paper, see page 16.
To print on transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
®
3M
CG3300/PP2500
L Do not stack more than 25 transparencies at a
time.
L After printing, place transparencies on a flat
surface to cool and to prevent them from curling.
L Do not re-use transparencies that have already been
fed through the unit. This includes transparencies that have been fed through and ejected without being printed on.
L Some types of transparencies have instructions
recommending which side to print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing on the other side of a new transparency.
To print on labels
Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend the following:
®
Avery 5160/5163/5660/5663/L7159/L7164
L Do not stack more than 25 labels at a time. L Do not use the following types of labels:
– Labels that are wrinkled, damaged or separated
from the backing sheet.
– Any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where
some of the labels have been removed.
– Labels that do not completely cover the backing
sheet as follows:
To print on envelopes
Use envelopes designed for laser printing. We recommend the following: – High quality envelopes of 90 g/m – Envelopes that have thin, sharply creased leading
edges, – Envelopes that have diagonal seams, and – Envelopes with a moisture content of 4 % to 6 % by
weight.
L Load envelopes with the sealing flap FACE DOWN.
L Do not stack more than 10 envelopes at a time.
Note:
L Wrinkles and waving may occur in some cases, even
if high quality envelopes are used.
L Avoid printing in high humidity. High humidity may
cause the envelope to curl or seal the envelope.
L Store envelopes away from moisture and humidity,
where they can lay flat and their edges will not be
bent or damaged.
Do not use envelopes with any of the following characteristics (using these may result in paper jams):
L Irregularly shaped envelopes L Envelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog-
ears or other damage
L Envelopes with side seam construction L Highly textured envelopes, or envelopes with
extremely shiny surfaces
L Envelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip L Envelopes with more than one sealing flap L Self-adhesive envelopes L Envelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased L Embossed envelopes L Envelopes that have previously been printed on L Envelopes that include cotton and/or fiber material
