Panasonic 8415 Setup Guide

							31
The bidirectional parallel interface is based on the
IEEE P1284-B standard.
If your computer has a bidirectional parallel port, the
printer driver and printer can take advantage of
faster data transfer.

Note:
B“Return” denotes the return side wire of a twisted
pair cable and is connected to signal ground.
BBe sure to use only a shielded cable. The printer
will not operate properly if any of the pins is not
connected.
nTransparencies and labels
Panasonic has tested and found that the following
work satisfactorily:
OHP transparency:3M CG3710
Labels: 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.
BWith any label stock, the labels must completely
cover the backing material.
nEnvelopes
It is recommended that you print in black text only
and purchase high quality #10 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/m
2(24 lbs.)
BFlat, free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc.
Note:
BWrinkle may occur in some case, even if high
quality envelopes are used.
NO
The backing material is exposed.
Labels cover the entire backing material.
