Toner cartridge and drum cartridge
LWhen 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.
LFor 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
LDo not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum cartridge
LRead the instructions on page 11 before you begin
installation of the drum cartridge. After you have read
them, open the drum cartridge protection bag. The
drum cartridge contains a photosensitive drum.
Exposing it to light may damage the drum. Once you
have opened the protection bag:
– Do not expose the drum cartridge to light for
more than 45 seconds.
– Do not touch or scratch the green 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.
LTo 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
LTo avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near
appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate
an intense magnetic field.
Static electricity
LTo 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
LKeep the unit away from electrical noise generating
devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
LThe unit should be kept free from dust, high
temperature and vibration.
LThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
LDo 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.
LThe unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. Damp basements
should also be avoided.
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.
LDo not place any objects within 10cm (4 inches) of
the right, left and back sides of the unit.
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.
