Design Considerations
Ease of Maintenance:
Panasonic has put a premium on economy

and low-maintenance for the Panasonic
WOKRiO KX-CL400. The first design
efficiency we noted is that access to the toner
cartridges is from the top of the unit. The
high-yield integrated toner cartridges (6,000
pages at 5% coverage) are readily accessible
and the cartridges are designed to be
removed with no leakage.
According to Panasonic, the toner particles

and the toner supply system have been
improved to ensure a longer service life. Toner cartridges are conveniently accessible
from the top of the unit.
True to its SMB target market, this printer can
be maintained by non-technical users. BERTL
was impressed by how easy it was to access
the device’s key components.
The toner supplies are installed at the top of

the unit. The imaging unit is installed at the
right side of the unit, and can easily be pulled
in and out.

be easily accessed and

without the need for
any special equipment
or technical expertise.

Duplex Unit:
The duplex unit (optional) is an area

where paper jams are more likely to
occur. With the Panasonic KX-
CL400, we were able to access this
component by simply opening the
front door. Non-technical users will
easily be able to install the unit.
IH Technology:
The Panasonic KX-CL400 uses

induction heating (IH) technology to
heat the fuser unit, instead of a
more conventional halogen lamp.

necessary, and as a result this The Duplex unit can be installed
and serviced by non-technical users.

Automatic Color Detection: Motherboard slides out from the rear of the
Panasonic KX-CL400 .
The Panasonic KX-CL400 thrifty operational
theme extends to its ability to manage color
costs. Like other Panasonic color WORKiO
devices, the Panasonic KX-CL400 also
automatically switches between black and
CMY toner on a per page basis. If only
monochrome pixels are detected, the printer
uses only the black print cartridge. By
restricting color print cartridge usage to color
documents, the Panasonic KX-CL400 keeps
its operating and maintenance costs within
the budgets of smaller businesses or
departments in larger enterprises.
Motherboard Upgrades: Fortunately, Panasonic has made these

enhancements installable by average users.

Paper Input and Processing

Input:
The Panasonic KX-CL400 has a maximum

capacity of 1,690 sheets with its two optional
trays. Its standard universal media tray holds
530 sheets. A standard multi-purpose tray
can take on 100 sheets of various paper
media—including card stock (up to 110 lb.)
coated paper, transparencies, and envelopes.
Finally, two optional 530 sheet paper trays

Web Access:

using the same browser based interface that

Device Monitor:
Panasonic also includes a valuable desktop

utility called Device Monitor. This allows
users to see, at a glance, which devices they
use are currently available, which ones
require attention or are being used by other
staff.
While not as sophisticated as an enterprise

network device monitoring solution, it does
provide an easy way for users to check how
fast they might expect to get a job back from
a specific device without having to go
looking for web browsers or open additional
utilities. The device monitor is a small
application that runs on the Windows
taskbar.
In addition to providing users with status

information, the device monitor also provides
a print notification function, informing users
when their jobs have been processed and
are ready for collection. This is a valuable
productivity time saver allowing users to
carry on with other tasks without having to
keep checking to see when a print job has
finished.
Users can be informed when jobs are successfully
