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 11 before you begin 
installation of the drum cartridge. After you have read  them, open the drum cartri
dge 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.
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 fluore scent 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 During the printing process, heat is used to fuse 
toner onto the page. As a result, it is normal for the 
machine to produce an odor during and shortly after 
printing. Be sure to use this unit in an area with 
proper ventilation.
The printer of this unit utilizes a laser. Use of 
controls or adjustments or performance of 
procedures other than those specified 
herein may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure.
During or immediately after printing, the 
fuser unit (
1) gets hot. This is normal. Do 
not touch the fuser unit.
