Notes:
BMake sure that you load the correct media. Each tray is designed and labeled
for only paper or transparency. If you load the incorrect media type in a tray, it
may cause a jam.
BIf you have the 2nd Cassette Feeder installed:
— If you wish to use the automatic cassette-switching feature (a large print job,
for example), make sure that all trays in the printer are the same media type
and size.
— The transparency tray should be inserted in the upper or middle tray slots.

Notes:
BTo optimize your printer’s performance, always use clean, unused media.
BBe careful not to leave fingerprints on the media, which can result in a smudged
print.
BReusing media that has been fed through the printer once (for example, after
jams) can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.
BThe recommended transparency is 3M CG3700. If the print quality is poor, print
on the other side.

■Media problems
Trouble
Corrective Action
Frequent paper-
picking errors.
Fan the paper or transparencies before installing them in
their respective trays; this is especially important for
transparencies because they tend to stick together.
Make sure that you have loaded paper in the paper tray
and transparencies in the transparency tray.
Make sure that the media is installed under the hooks at
the front of the media tray.
If printing on transparencies and your printer has a 2nd
Cassette Feeder, make sure that the transparency tray is
installed in the upper or middle tray slot.
Frequent media jams.
Make sure that you use a high-quality laser paper:
2
60-105 g/m (16-28 lbs.) paper in the media trays and
2
75-165 g/m (20-44 lbs.) paper in the multi-purpose tray.
2
If you are using media that is 105 g/m (28 lbs.), check if
the Face Down media output setting is selected in the
driver. If it is, change the setting to Face Up.
We cannot guarantee the results of other transparencies
in KX-PS8000 printers.
Make sure that the media is installed under the hooks at
the front of the media tray.
Do not overfill the media tray, as indicated by the red line
on the right side of the tray.
Make sure that the media thickness switch is set

Streaks or spots
Most spots are caused by fingerprints or dust introduced
into the printer while installing the imaging unit or loading
media.
Make sure that the surface where you unpack the
imaging unit, paper, and transparencies is free of dust.
Keep supplies in a covered area or a closed box.
Make sure that the imaging unit stays covered until
immediately before installing it in the printer. Exposure to
light for more than 45 seconds can damage the imaging
unit.
Do not touch the right side or underside of the imaging
unit; fingerprints affect print quality.
Make sure that the paper or transparency film is clean.
Make sure that you handle the media on the outside
edges to avoid fingerprints.
To get rid of fingerprint spots, print a few prints.
The back of the
printed page appears
dirty.
Toner particles have contaminated the transfer roller.
This can happen if the printed image is larger than the
media (for example, when printing on envelopes). Run
10-20 prints to clean the transfer roller.
The print quality of a
transparency is poor.
There is a defect on the coated surface of the
transparency. Print on the other side.

■Paper Weight
The printer is designed to work well with most types of paper. However, differences in
paper may have significant effects on the quality of the print or the reliability of paper
handling.
It is strongly recommended that you always test paper before purchasing it to make
sure it provides desirable performance.

* We do not recommend the use of 105 g/m (28 lbs.) paper in areas of high or low
humidity and temperature since paper feed problems may be experienced.
■Types of Paper to Avoid
BExtremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
BLetterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These materials may
transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage. Any pre-printed paper should
use inks compatible with 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.
BDamaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, etc.
BMultipart forms or carbonless paper
BPaper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content
BInk jet paper (It may transfer onto the fuser roller and cause damage.)
■Two-Sided Printing
Two-sided printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. However, you should
not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with one-sided printing.
We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines below.
BDo not load more than 10 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.
BBefore loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges are even.

■Transparencies and Labels
You may also print on transparencies and labels that are made for the printer.
Panasonic has tested and found that the following work satisfactorily.
OHP transparency
Labels
3M CG3700
AVERY 5163, AVERY 5164, AVERY 5165
Avery L7163, Avery L7165, Avery L7166, Avery L7167
Avery L7168, Avery L7169
BRe-using transparencies that have been fed through the printer once (for
example, after jams or if the transparency is ejected without being printed) can
reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.
BWhen using transparencies, if the print quality is poor, print on the other side.
BWith any label stock, the labels must completely cover the backing material.
YES
Labels cover the entire backing material.
NO
The backing material is exposed.

Appendix
■Envelopes
It is recommended that you print in black text only and purchase high quality #10 or
larger laser envelopes with diagonal seams, as shown in the diagram below:
High quality envelopes have the following characteristics:
BA thin, sharply creased leading edge
BPaper weight of 90 g/m2 (24 lbs.)
BFlat, free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc.
It is not recommended that you use envelopes with any of the following
characteristics (using these may result in paper jams):
BIrregularly shaped envelopes
BEnvelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog-ears or other damage
BEnvelopes with side seam construction
BHighly textured envelopes, or with extremely shiny surfaces
BEnvelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip
BEnvelopes with more than one flap to be sealed
BSelf-adhesive envelopes
BEnvelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased
BEmbossed envelopes
BEnvelopes that have previously been printed on
Peel-off strip
Side seam construction
Multiple flaps

Appendix
Do not attempt to print on any of the following types of envelopes. These may cause
damage to your printer.
BEnvelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings (see Figure 1)
BEnvelopes with transparent windows (see Figure 2)
BEnvelopes that will melt, discolor, scorch offset or release hazardous emissions
when exposed to 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second
BEnvelopes that use encapsulated types of adhesive that do not require moistening
but rely on pressure to seal them
Figure 1
Figure 2
Always test a sample of the envelopes you are thinking of buying. Confirm that the
envelope performs acceptably.
For best printing results
BAvoid printing in high humidity i.e., above 70%.
High humidity may cause the envelope to curl and pick up excess toner.
High humidity may also cause the envelope to seal.
BAvoid printing below 10°C (50°F) with less than 30% relative humidity.
Low temperature with low humidity may cause light printing.
Envelope storage is very important. Store them away from moisture and humid air,
where they can lay flat and their edges won’t be bent or damaged. The humidity
should not exceed 70% RH.
