Replacing Thermal Transfer Film
Notes on Replacing Thermal Transfer Film
The unit is capable of producing about 15 more copies when the contrast/remaining film indicator begins to flash.
The unit has run out of thermal transfer film and can no longer make copies when the multi-copy/error indicator
flashes  . Separately available replacement film (KX-BP081 or KX-BP082) may be purchased from the dealer
where you purchased the unit. Thermal transfer film is replaced as follows.
COnly use the designated product (KX-BP081 or KX-BP082) from Panasonic as the replacement
film. (Note that using another type of replacement film may result in degraded printing quality or
damage to the unit.)
CThermal transfer film is disposable. Dispose of used thermal transfer film as burnable or non-
recyclable rubbish.
CA negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film. To protect the security of
your information, we recommend cutting up used thermal transfer film with scissors or shredder
before disposing of it.
