Quick Start while Saving Energy
Panasonic has a smart solution for fast warm up time while
consuming less energy. Our Induction Heating (IH) technologies
along with a redesigned, low thermal capacity heater belt, has
eliminated the need for pre-heating. By maximizing the
efficiency of the heating process, these ENERGY STAR®printers
are fast, efficient and economical.
Thanks to Panasonic’s IH Technology, the KX-CL400 warms up faster and prints from sleep
mode while utilizing only 8W of power. These technological breakthroughs contribute to
producing quick color documents, helps to conserve the environment, and reduces energy
costs.
High speed One-Pass Printing
The KX-CL400 utilizes innovative one-pass technology. Incorporating four in-line 1200 dpi
laser diodes and imaging drums, this Panasonic color laser printer is able to produce vibrant,
full color documents at speeds comparable to monochrome printing. A cost-effective, state of
the art printing process that saves time and money.
Enhanced Color Quality
Thanks to its high-resolution 1200 x 1200 dpi printing, color reproduction is especially vivid. In
addition, because the printer engine and controller are optimized for the color setting best
suited for photographs, the KX-CL400 delivers impressive results when used for photo
printing.
Fast, efficient, professional quality color – that’s the laser advantage.
Now Panasonic has made it easier for everyone to experience the quality and
convenience of color laser printing with the KX-CL400.
Ideal for small and mid-size businesses, this affordable low-maintenance color
laser printer not only offers true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi print resolution and versatile
network connectivity, the KX-CL400 is one of the first color printer that’s certified
for the new-generation IPv6 network protocol.

Advanced HDD Security Functions†1
Hard Disk Data Erasing
Used with the printer’s optional internal Hard Disk Drive (KX-CLHD2), the HDD Utility allows
you to remotely manage “Check then Print”, “Memory Print” and “Confidential Print” files.
For added security, this function can be set to automatically render image data unreadable
by overwriting it with zero and random data. You can also use it to protect confidential
company information by completely erasing all of the hard disk data when the machine is
retired.
Direct Print with Quick PDF Print†2
You can also print directly from a PC with simple “drag & drop” of the PDF file you want,
without using the printer driver. Printing is quicker and easier than ever.
Quick PDF Print (Direct Printing System†2)
The Direct Printing System is a utility that lets you send PDF files directly to the printer,
bypassing the printer driver. Delivery Print and Parallel Print methods are also available.

Convenient Printing Capability
Pages per Sheet
Up to 16 pages can be printed next to
each other on a single sheet. This
feature is convenient for printing test
sheets and conserving paper.
Fit to Output Paper Size
Scales the source document to fit the specified paper.
This feature is convenient for printing Ledger or A3
source documents on to Letter or A4 paper, for
example.
Booklet
This easy-to-use feature
automatically converts full-page
documents into half size
booklets without the need for
expensive finishing options or
hard to use specialty software.
Just print and fold in half for
professional style booklets.
Zoom
You can reduce or enlarge (25 – 400%)
documents by specifying the desired
magnification. You can also specify
where scaled documents are positioned
on the page.
Poster
Enlarges a single-page source
document for printing on a specified
number of sheets. You can use this
feature to print large posters – just
assemble the printed sheets.
Photo Mode
The new Photo mode
improves the glossy finish on
the surface and enhances
contrast to provide beautifully
smooth reproductions of color
photo images. Now you can
add real flair to your business
documents with gorgeous
color photos.
Automatic Duplex for
Efficient Double-Sided Printing
These printers are designed to accommodate an
automatic duplex unit, enabling effortless double-sided
printing. Cost effective and speedy, double-sided prints
are output at an incredible rate of up to 17 ppm* in
both Color and Black & White.
With Panasonic’s advanced technology, the printer’s
speed remains the same even when printing two-sided
documents. Save time... Save paper… Save money!
* Actual automatic duplex print speed is up to 16.9 ppm with
automatic duplex unit (option)
Enhanced Network Connectivity
IPv6-ready Ethernet port
Thanks to Panasonic’s intelligent design, you can use
the KX-CL400 in an IPv4 environment, an IPv6
environment, or even an environment where both
protocols co-exist.
* The provided printer utilities which utilize IP protocol, such as the
Device Monitor, are not compatible with IPv6.
USB 2.0 and Parallel Port
The KX-CL400 is also equipped with
a full-speed USB 2.0 and IEEE1284
bi-directional parallel interface so it
can be used as a stand-alone unit.
You can also simultaneously connect
to all 3 ports.
High Yield, Easy-to-Replace
Consumables
High-yield toner cartridges can be easily replaced from
the top of the printer.
Improvements to the toner
particle and the toner supply
system, as well as greater
internal system efficiency helps
to ensure a longer service life for
the toner cartridge and other consumables.
High-Capacity Paper Supply
The KX-CL400 comes standard with a 530-sheet paper
cassette and a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray. Two
optional Paper Feeders can be added to provide a
maximum paper capacity of 1,690 sheets.
