For best performance
Toner cartridge and drum unit
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.
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 odor during and shortly after
printing. Be sure to use this unit in an area with
proper ventilation.
L Do not place any objects within 10 cm (4 inches) of
the right, left and back sides of the unit.
L 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 (1).

1

Toner cartridge
L Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the protection
bag for a long time. It will decrease the toner life.
Drum unit
L Read the instructions on page 9 before you begin
installation of the drum unit. After you have read
them, open the drum unit protection bag. The drum
unit contains a photosensitive drum. Exposing it to
light may damage the drum. Once you have opened
the protection bag:
– Do not expose the drum unit to light for more than
5 minutes.
– Do not touch or scratch the black drum surface.
– Do not place the drum unit near dust or dirt, or in
a high humidity area.
– Do not expose the drum unit to direct sunlight.
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.

1
Routine care
L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do
not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

Location
L To avoid malfunction, do not position the unit near
appliances such as TVs or speakers which generate
an intense magnetic field.
Static electricity
L To 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
L Keep the unit away from electrical noise generating
devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
L The unit should be kept free from dust, high
temperature and vibration.
L The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
L Do 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.
L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. Damp basements
should also be avoided.

11.3.2 Printing problems
Problem

Cause & Solution

The printing quality is poor.

ABC

L Some paper has instructions recommending which side to print on. Try
turning the recording paper over.
L You may have used paper with a cotton and/or fiber content that is over
20%, such as letterhead or resume paper.
L The recording paper is too damp. Use new paper.
L The remaining toner is low. Replace the toner cartridge.
L To check the drum life and quality, please print the printer test list (page 84).
If printing quality is still poor, replace the toner cartridge and drum unit.
L The toner save mode of feature #482 is ON (page 51).

A blank sheet is ejected.

L You placed the document facing the wrong way when using the copier.
L The other party placed the document in their fax machine the wrong way.

Black lines, white lines or
smudges appear on the
printed documents.

L The glass or rollers are dirty with correction fluid, etc. Clean them (page 80,
83). Please do not insert a document before correction fluid has dried
completely.

Colored text is printed in
black instead of grayscale
when printing from Microsoft
PowerPoint or other
applications.

try again.
L Restart the computer, and try again.

set. Change the setting or divide the document into the appropriate paper
size, and try again.

The document is not fed into
the unit when using the unit
as a scanner.

Note for recording paper:
L We recommend that you test paper (especially
special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before
purchasing large quantities.
L Do not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with cotton and/or fiber content that is over
20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for
resumes
– Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is
highly textured
– Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
– Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs
or staples
– Paper which has dust, lint or oil stains
– Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolor, scorch or
emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C (392 °F),
such as vellum paper. These materials may
transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
– Moist paper
– Inkjet paper
L Some paper only accepts print on one side. Try using
the other side of the paper if you are not happy with
the print quality or if misfeeding occurs.
L For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we
recommend using long-grained paper.
L Do not use paper of different types or thickness at the
same time. This may cause paper jams.
L Avoid double-sided printing.
L Do not use paper printed from this unit for doublesided printing with other copiers or printers. This may
cause paper jams.
L To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you
are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in
the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.

Note:
L Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.
L The pictures and illustrations in these instructions

Drum life
The drum unit is a consumable item and needs to be
replaced regularly. There are various factors that
determine the actual drum life, such as temperature,
humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for
the number of sheets per print job. The maximum drum
life is approx. 6,000 sheets. The actual number of sheets
your drum will print may be significantly less than this
estimate if your unit is often used for printing small
number sheets per job. Because many of the factors that
determine the actual drum life cannot be controlled, we
cannot guarantee a minimum number of sheets that will
be printed by your drum.
