normal.
1
Fuser unit
Toner cartridge
L Be careful of the following when you handle the toner
cartridge:
– Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the
protection bag for a long time. It will decrease the
toner life.
– If you ingest any toner, drink several glasses of
water to dilute your stomach contents, and seek
immediate medical treatment.
– If any toner comes into contact with your eyes,
flush them thoroughly with water, and seek
medical treatment.
– If any toner comes into contact with your skin,
wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
– If you inhale any toner, move to an area with fresh
air and consult local medical personnel.
Drum unit
L Read the instructions on page 10 before you begin
installation of the drum unit. After you have read
them, open the drum unit protection bag. The drum
unit contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to
light may damage the drum. Once you have opened
the protection bag:
– Do not expose the drum unit to light for more than
5 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.
2
– Do not place the drum unit near dust or dirt, or in
a high humidity area.
– Do not expose the drum unit to direct sunlight.
WARNING:
L To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not
expose this product to rain or any type of moisture.
L Unplug this unit from power outlets if it emits smoke,
an abnormal smell or makes unusual noise. These
conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm
that smoke has stopped and contact an authorised
service centre.
L Make sure that the unit is installed in a well ventilated
room so as not to increase density of ozone in the air.
Since ozone is heavier than air, it is recommended
that air at floor level be ventilated.
For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
L For optimal performance, genuine Panasonic toner
cartridges and drum units are recommended. We
cannot be responsible for problems that may be
caused by a non-Panasonic toner cartridge or drum
unit:
– Damage to the unit
– Poor print quality
– Improper operation
L In the printing process, heat is used to fuse toner
onto the page. As a result, it is normal for the
machine to produce an odour during and shortly after
printing. Be sure to use this unit in an area with
proper ventilation.
L To extend the life of the drum unit, the unit should
never be turned OFF immediately after printing.
Leave the power turned ON for a minimum of 30
minutes after printing.
L Do not cover slots or openings on the unit. Inspect
the air circulation vents regularly and remove any
dust build-up with a vacuum cleaner (2).
L When replacing the toner cartridge or drum unit, do
not allow dust, water, or liquids to come in contact
with the drum. This may affect print quality.
Static electricity
L To prevent static electricity damage to the interface
connectors or other electrical components inside the
unit, touch a grounded metal surface before touching
the components.
Environment
L Keep the unit away from electrical noise generating
devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
L The unit should be kept free from dust, high
temperature and vibration.
L The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
L Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
L When you leave the unit unused for a long period of
time, unplug this unit from the power outlet.
4
L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be
placed in rooms where the temperature is less than
10 °C or greater than 32.5 °C. Damp basements
should also be avoided.
Recording paper
L Store unused paper in the original packaging, in a
cool and dry place. Not doing so may affect print
quality.
Routine care
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do
