For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum cartridge
L When replacing the toner cartridge or drum
cartridge, do not allow dust, water, or liquids to come
in contact with the drum. This may affect print quality.
L For optimal performance, genuine Panasonic toner
cartridges and drum cartridges are recommended.
We cannot be responsible for problems that may be
caused by a non-Panasonic toner cartridge or drum
cartridge:
– Damage to the unit
– Poor print quality
– Improper operation
Toner cartridge
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the protective
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum cartridge
L Read the instructions on page 13 before you begin
installation of the drum cartridge. After you have read
them, open the drum cartridge protective bag. The
drum cartridge contains a photosensitive drum.
Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you
have opened the protective bag:
– Do not expose the drum cartridge to light for
more than 3 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.
– Do not place the drum cartridge near dust or dirt,
or in a high humidity area.
– Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct
sunlight.
L To extend the life of the drum cartridge, the power
switch should never be turned OFF immediately after
printing. Leave the power turned ON for a minimum
of 30 minutes after printing.

The supplied toner cartridge is a starter toner cartridge.
Caution:
L Read the following instructions before you begin
installation. After you have read them, open the
drum cartridge protective bag. The drum

Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once
you have opened the protective bag:
– Do not expose the drum cartridge to light for
more than 3 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum
FGHD
surface inside of the drum cartridge.
– Do not place the drum cartridge near dust or
dirt, or in a high humidity area.
– Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct
sunlight.
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the
protective bag for a long time. It will decrease the
toner life.
L We cannot be responsible for any damage to the
unit or degradation of print quality which may
occur from the use of a non-Panasonic toner
cartridge and drum cartridge.
L Do not add toner to the toner cartridge.

Note:
L To check the drum life and quality, please print the
printer test list (page 109) and refer to page 111 for
information on the drum life. If printing quality is still
poor or “Replace Drum” appears on the display,
replace the toner cartridge and drum cartridge.
L To ensure that the unit operates properly, we
recommend the use of Panasonic toner cartridge
and drum cartridge. See page 10 for accessory
information.
L See page 110 for information on toner life and drum
life.
Cleaning the drum cartridge
Important:
L If the groove of the drum cartridge is dirty, lines
or dirty patterns may appear on printed sheets.
Be sure to remove any toner remaining on the
inside of the drum cartridge to maintain the print
quality.
L A cleaner for the drum cartridge is supplied with the
replacement toner cartridge. If you replace only the
toner cartridge, clean the drum cartridge using the
cleaner.
L Insert the cleaner (n) into the left groove (o) and
move it from side to side at least 3 times to clean the
inside of the drum cartridge. Repeat this for the right
groove (p).

Waste disposal method
Waste material should be disposed of under conditions
which meet all national and local environmental
regulations.
Toner save feature
If you want to reduce toner consumption, set the toner
save setting to ON (feature #482 on page 66). The toner
cartridge will last approximately 20 % longer. This
feature may lower the print quality.
1.7 Recording paper
The standard input tray unit can hold:
– Up to 520 sheets of 75 g/m
– Up to 470 sheets of 80 g/m
– Up to 410 sheets of 90 g/m2 paper.
– Up to 100 sheets of 105 g/m2 paper.
– Up to 25 transparencies.
– Up to 25 labels.
*1 Only when using the unit as a printer. See page 31
for details.
L The number of sheets may vary due to paper
thickness variation during paper manufacturing.
L The unit is set for printing A4-size thin paper by
default.
– To use other paper sizes, change the
recording paper size setting (feature #380 on
page 65).
– To use plain or thick paper, change the
recording paper type setting (feature #383 on
page 65).
Note for recording paper:
L We recommend that you test paper (especially
special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before
purchasing large quantities.
L Do not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with cotton and/or fibre content that is over
20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for
resumes
– Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is
highly textured
– Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
– Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs
or staples
– Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains
– Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or
emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as
vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto
the fusing roller and cause damage.
– Moist paper
– Inkjet paper
L Some paper is designed to be printed on only one
side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you
are not happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding
occurs.
L For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we
recommend using long-grained paper.
L Do not use paper of different types or thicknesses at
the same time. This may cause paper jams.
L Do not use paper printed from this unit for double-
sided printing with other copiers or printers. This may
cause paper jams.
L To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you
are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in
the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.
L For customers who live in high humidity areas:
Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned

2.10 Configuring the unit to
access the LAN
You can print documents, scan documents, receive
faxes or send faxes using a computer connected to the
LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit.
Important:
L Consult your network administrator when setting
the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a
DHCP server
Your situation:
– When only one unit is connected to the LAN.
If your network administrator manages the network with
a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it
will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol)
address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit.
1 After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the
computer, turn the power switch ON.
L The IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway will be set automatically.
2 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 26 for details.
Note:
L You can connect two or more units and assign IP
addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we
recommend assigning static IP addresses manually
for each unit to avoid network access and
configuration troubles.
2.10.2 Setting up manually
Your situation:
– When your network administrator does not manage
the network with a DHCP server.
– When two or more units are connected to the LAN.
You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway manually.

For the default gateway:
1. Press {5}{0}{3} to display “Default
Gateway”.
2. {Set} i Enter the default gateway of the
network. i {Set}
5 Press {Menu} to exit.
6 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that
you want to use it with. See page 26 for details.
To correct a mistake in the IP address, subnet mask,
or default gateway
Press {<} or {>} to move the cursor to the incorrect
number, and make the correction.
2.10.3 Setting the computer for PC fax
reception
You need to select the computer that will be used for
receiving faxes.
Important:
L Make sure the PC fax setting is set to “Always”
or “Connected” beforehand (feature #442 on
page 70).
L Make sure the fax preview mode is turned OFF
beforehand (feature #448 on page 56).
1 {Menu} i {#}{4}{4}{3} i {Set}
2 Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to select the desired
computer. i {Set}

connected to the unit by USB is assigned as the
default computer for PC fax reception.
L To select the desired computer easily, change the PC
name beforehand (page 29).
