Before You Start

Cautions

To avoid machine malfunction, do not use the equipment under the following conditions:

Unstable or unlevel surfaces.

A very large stack of media into the manual feed.

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: 15% to 80% RH)

Condensation due to rapid change of temperature.

Directly in front of air conditioning vents.

Media for ink jet (paper, transparency, etc.)

Areas of poor ventilation.

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

Liquids near the equipment.

Not genuine toner

Any toner other than genuine Panasonic toner; it may damage the printer.

Static Electricity Damage

To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following components, touch a grounded metal surface, such as the printer's bare metal frame prior to touching the component.

Interface connectors: parallel, USB, network, and connector for optional paper feeder

Connector pins on the optional paper feeder

Electrical components, connectors inside the printer

Interface Cable

Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an unshielded cable can result in radio interference with data.

Power Source

The voltage level of the power source must not vary more than ±10% from the voltage level marked on the nameplate (located on the rear of the unit).

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or surge protector as it may cause a machine error.

Ventilation Space

The ventilation space is needed more than 20 mm (0.8") between the printer and a wall.
