For Y our Safety

General

Power source

Warning

•

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or any type of moisture.

Cautions

•

Do not open covers and do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

• Avoid contact with the rotating rollers when the ADF top cover is open.

Warning

•

The power source voltage of this unit is listed on the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an outlet with the proper voltage.

• When you operate this equipment, the outlet should be near the

equipment and accessible.

• To ensure safe operation the AC cord supplied must be inserted into

standard three-prong AC outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed) through the normal wiring.

• The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the

power point is grounded (earthed) and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding (earthing) of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

• If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet, contact a licensed

electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded (earthed) one. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding (earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).

Laser safety

Ozone release

Caution

•

This printer utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Warning

•

Make sure that the printer is installed in a well ventilated room so as not to increase density of ozone in the air. Since ozone is heavier than air, it is recommended that air at floor level be ventilated.

For Y our Safety

Light source

Moving the units

• Do not look directly at the light source lamps of the scanner when

scanning as this may be harmful to your eyes.

The scanner weighs approximately 22.5 kg {49.5 lbs.} and the printer weighs approximately 49.5 kg {108.9 lbs.}. They must be handled by two people. Turn the power off and remove the power cords when handling the units.

FOR USERS IN U.K.

IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY

Both the printer and scanner are supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug each for your safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code.

Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN-ANDYELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

ASA

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Cautions

Before You Start

Before you set up your new system, please read the following information.

To avoid problems, do not use the equipment under the follo wing conditions:

• 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

• Areas of poor ventilation

• Areas of high dust or chemical fume concentration (solvent etc.)

• Unstable or unlevel surfaces

Before Y ou Start

• Liquids near the equipment

• Liquid spills can cause severe damage.

• Too much media/document which exceeds the limit mark ( ) on the

guide of the tray.

• Front/right/left doors opened while the printer is operating; it may cause a

media jam.

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

Before Y ou Start

Interface: SCSI interface requirements

SCSI cable:

SCSI-2 (FAST SCSI) compatible (page 298)

SCSI-2 board:

ASPI Manager compatible SCSI-2 board (Adaptec AHA-2940 is recommended.)

ASPI manager:

ASPI Manager is required. (See the SCSI-2 board manual.)

Parallel interface requirements

ECP mode:

Based on the IEEE P1284-C standard (An ECP compatible parallel port is recommended for Windows 95.) To turn on the ECP mode, use the computer’s BIOS setup. Refer to the computer’s documentation for details.

Cable: Appropriate interface cables for your network or

printer connection

With a Macintosh computer

To operate the KX-PS8100 system effectively, see the following. CPU: More than PowerPC

(faster CPU is recommended.)

Operating system: Apple system software version 7.5.x, 7.6.x or 8.0

(Printer Driver) Apple system software version 7.5.x, 7.6.x, 8.0, 8.1 or 8.5 (Scanner Driver)

Interface: Ethernet Card (Printing):

The KX-PS8100 Ethernet card does not enable printing directly from the Macintosh computer. Printing from a Macintosh can only be performed if the KX-PS8100 and Macintosh are connected to a network.

SCSI cable (Scanning):

SCSI-2 (FAST SCSI) compatible (page 298)

Cable: Appropriate interface cables for your network or

printer connection

To use ColorSync Color Matching of the scanner driver, ColorSync Manager Version 2.0 or later is required.
