For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
LFor 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
LIn 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.
LTo 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.
LDo not cover slots or openings on the unit. Inspect the air circulation vents regularly and remove any dust
cleaner (2).
LWhen 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.
