The products listed above are the recommended ﬁlms for the KX-FM280, even though the KX-FM280 model number may not be listed on the ﬁlm’s box.

The free starter ﬁlm is only 20 meters (65v) long. We recommend that you buy regular ﬁlm [100 m (328v)] for uninterrupted use of your unit. For best results, use Panasonic replacement ﬁlm, KX-FA135 or KX-FA136. To order, call toll free 1-800-435-7329 or see the fax order instructions below.

The free starter ﬁlm prints about 65 letter size pages. A normal ﬁlm roll prints about 330 letter size pages. Purchase one of the following full size replacement ﬁlm kits as soon as possible for uninterrupted use of your Panasonic plain paper fax machine.

Full size replacement ﬁlm kits:

●

KX-FA135 Film cartridge Complete kit includes: Film roll, gears and cartridge.

(Prints about 330 letter size pages.)

●

KX-FA136 Replacement ﬁlm Two replacement ﬁlm rolls only. Use these ﬁlm rolls to reﬁll the cartridge.

(Both rolls print a total of about 660 letter size pages.)

Caution:

●

The ﬁlm can only be used once. When the unit displays “FILM EMPTY”, reﬁll or replace the cartridge with one of the kits above (see page 18 for ordering instructions). If the ﬁlm is rewound, the print quality will be greatly reduced, and the unit may jam.
