Panasonic CL500 User Manual

 

“Remote diagnostics enables problems to be quickly diagnosed and rectified through a 

network and Internet connection,” Vidal explained. “When a problem is phoned into Panasonic’s 

toll-free hotline, a service technician can send a diagnostic e-mail to the printer to troubleshoot 

and then correct it.  If the problem can’t be corrected, the Express Exchange Program is 

activated, and a replacement printer is delivered in most cases the next business day.”  

 

Despite the low price of the CL500 and CL510 series, the printers come standard with a 

built-in 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet network interface, as well as a USB 1.1 and IEEE1284 ports.  

Other enhanced network and printer management tools that make set-up and maintenance a 

breeze include: 

   

network setup 

   

remote maintenance 

   

embedded web server 

   

pop-up status display

e-mail alerts

on-screen user manual 

 
Printing with intelligence 

 

Both models feature Universal Smart Cassettes (USC), an important tool for users whose 

network printer might not be in immediate proximity to them. USC offers the benefit of auto tray 

selection and auto tray switching. Auto tray selection enables the printer to find the appropriate 

paper tray, i.e. letter or legal, based on the command that is input from the user’s desktop.  Auto  

tray switching automatically switches trays when one is empty, if the replacement tray contains 

the right size paper.   

With Panasonic’s unique, integrated internal design, auto duplex can be installed inside 

the front of the unit in a snap, and doesn’t take up any additional space.  Producing up to 17 

images per minute (ipm) in color mode and 21 ipm in black and white mode, documents can be 

produced for either side or top edge binding.
