–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 10 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 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 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.

2.11 Configuring the unit to access the LAN
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 24 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.
