the toner cartridge.
TONER LOW
TONER EMPTY
We recommend you replace the drum unit
every fourth time you replace the toner
cartridge. To check the drum life and quality,
please print the printer test list (page 62). To
ensure that the unit operates properly, we
recommend the use of Panasonic toner
cartridge (Model No. KX-FA83E) and drum
unit (Model No. KX-FA84E). See page 10 for
accessory information.
To maintain print quality and machine life, we
recommend you to clean slots and openings
(page 6) and the inside of the unit (page 60)
when replacing the toner cartridge and/or drum
unit.
Caution:
L We cannot be responsible for any damage
to the unit or degradation of print quality
which may occur from the use of a non-
Panasonic toner cartridge and drum unit.
L The drum unit contains a photosensitive
drum. Exposing it to light may damage the
drum.
Once you have opened the protection
bag:

more than 5 minutes.

sunlight.

fax documents in memory may occur.
