For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
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
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
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.

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 (
2
).
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.

connectors or other electrical components inside the
unit, touch a grounded metal surface before touching
the components.
