Precautions

Installation

Screen Film

Markers, Erasers and Thermal Transfer Film

• Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to direct sunlight, near heating equipment, or near air-conditioning vents as this may cause stretching and/or discoloration of the screen.

• Do not install the unit in strong sunlight or strong lighting. Proper copying may become impossible.

• Do not install the unit in locations where the temperature may change suddenly as this may disable the unit’s ability to make copies.

• Make thick and dark lines inside the copying area. Note that any writing inside the shaded area (on right) cannot be copied.

• Do not allow writing to remain on the screen for an extended period of time as it will become harder to erase.

• Do not touch the screen, write with markers, or erase while the screen is moving as this may result in damage to the unit.

• Do not erase with an overly dirty eraser (see page 24).

• Use a commercially available white board cleaner for hard-to-erase stains. (SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.)

• Do not attach chart paper to the screen film for copying as this may result in damage to the unit.

• Use only the included or designated markers, erasers and thermal transfer film. (See page

28.)

Use of accessories other than those included or designated (such as oil-based markers) may damage the screen or result in hard-to-erase markings.

• Do not store the thermal transfer film in a location subject to extreme changes in temperature (such as near air conditioning or heating equipment) as this may cause condensation on the thermal transfer film and result in poor print quality and/or paper jams.

• The length of one roll of designated thermal transfer film (Replacement film: UG-6001) is approximately 50 meters (164 ft.). One roll of thermal transfer film can make approximately 150 sheets of copies.

Note that the total number of copies may differ depending on the operating conditions. Also note that the length of the thermal transfer film supplied with the unit is shorter than the replacement film roll and is only approximately 10 meters (32.8 ft.).

Using the Projector Screen / Replacing the Thermal Transfer Film

Using the Projector Screen

One of four screens of this electronic board can also be used as the projector screen. The screen has no ruled lines so the projected image is easy to see.

Press or more than 2 seconds to

move the screen to the projector screen.

• “0” is displayed on the Multi-Copy/Error Indicator while the screen advances to the projector screen.

Press or to move the screen to the screen with no ruled lines.

Project an image on the screen.

Caution

• Light from the projector may enter the eye when using a projector to project images for the purpose of making presentations and so on. Be very careful as direct projector light may hurt the eyes.

Note

• Letters can be written on the projector screen by the marker provided. However, the writing may be harder to erase than on the other screens. To erase them, use a commercially available white board cleaner (SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.).

Replacing the Thermal Transfer Film

The unit is capable of producing about 15 more copies when the Contrast/Remaining Film Indicator begins to flash. The unit has run out of thermal transfer film and can no longer make copies when the Multi-Copy/Error Indicator flashes “ ”. Separately available replacement film (UG-6001) may be purchased from the dealer where you purchased the unit. Thermal transfer film is replaced as follows.

Notes on Replacing Thermal Transfer Film

• Only use the designated product (UG-6001) from Panasonic as the replacement film. (Note that using another type of replacement film may result in degraded printing quality or damage to the unit.)

• Thermal transfer film is disposable. Dispose of used thermal transfer film as “burnable” or “non- recyclable” rubbish.

• A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film. To protect the security of your information, we recommend cutting up the used thermal transfer film with scissors or shredder before disposing of it.

Push down the printer open lever to open the

printer door, and remove the used film.
