NOTE1. Average yield is based on 3% coverage of the printable area with repetitive printing of 
continous printing(Letter/A4 size, single side printing, default density). The yield of a Toner 
Cartridge varies depending on the coverage, temperature, humidity, media, etc. Therefore, the 
average yield cannot be guaranteed. 
2. A4 portrait in single-sided, printing 3 pages per print job. The yield of the drum cartridge when 
with 1-page printing per print job will become about half compared with 3-page printing per 
print job. The yield of a Drum Cartridge varies depending on the coverage, temperature, 
humidity, media, etc. Therefore, the average yield cannot be guaranteed.

FCC Notice for Users in USA
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 
one of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Relocate the fax machine with respect to receiver or other equipment.
3. Connect the fax machine into outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning:To assure continued compliance, use only USB shielded interface cable when connecting this 
product to host computer. Also, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.
Note:For Technical Support, please contact the Panasonic Technical Support Hotline.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. 
On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product 
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the 
telephone company.
• Registration No . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(found on the rear of the unit)
• Ringer Equivalence No. (REN) . . . . . .(found on the rear of the unit)
Ask your telephone company or installer to install the jack suitable for your device if such is not available.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply 
with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord 
and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack 
that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive 
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but 
not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may 
be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for 
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented 
by ## are the REN without a decimal point (Ex: 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may 
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isnt 
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with
