Important Information
Important InformationImportant Information
For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
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.
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
Toner cartridge
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum unit
L Read the instructions on page 9 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.
– 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.
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.
Location
L To avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near
appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate
an intense magnetic field.
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. When
you leave the unit unused for a long period of time,
unplug this unit from the power outlet.
L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. Damp basements
should also be avoided.
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 Do not place any objects within 10 cm of the right, left
and back sides of the unit.
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 (1).

Routine care
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do
not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

1.5 Toner cartridge and drum unit
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 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.
– 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.
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 unit.
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the
protection bag for a long time. It will decrease the
toner life.
L Do not add toner to the toner cartridge.
1 Before opening the protection bag of the new toner
cartridge, shake it vertically more than 5 times.
