Precautions With Consumables - Panasonic FP-D250 User Manual

1. 9 Precautions with Consumables

(1) Photoreceptor drum
• Do not touch the surface (with the hand or anything else).
• Stand the drum with the drum gear up for storage.
• Be careful not to smear with saliva, water, oil and so on.
• Do not place it where the temperature is high.
• Do not place it in strong light (such as direct sunshine or at window).
• Do not expose it to chemical gas or vapor.
• Do not store the drum unit with the photoreceptor drum installed without covering
it with clean paper.
(2) Toner Developer
1) Do not mix different types of toner and developer.
• The machines are designed to use exclusive toner and developer for specific
models. Be careful not to use toner and developer from other models.
2) Do not mix foreign materials.
Be careful not to contaminate toner and developer with foreign materials. If
you spilled toner or developer on a table or floor when adding toner or developer
in the developer unit, discard what was spilled. Such supplies may damage the
drum as well as cause other trouble with the image.
3) Do not place into other containers.
Toner and developer must not be placed into other containers, because some
containers may change the characteristics of the supplies. Vinyl chloride
potentially changes the characteristics of supplies because of migrating
plasticizers.
4) Precautions on storage and transport
• Toner and developer additives are sensitive to temperature and humidity (high
temperature or humidity in particular).
• Store toner and developer in a dark and cool location (lower than 95°F/35°C)
and out of direct sunlight.
• Be careful not to expose toner and developer to rain or direct sunlight during
transportation. When delivered by truck the temperature inside must be not
higher than 104 °F/40 °C. (Under the sun in summer, the inside temperature
can typically be 140 °F/60 °C or higher in a closed vehicle compartment.)
• In a cold climate, store in a low humidity environment condition.
Do not put supplies near heaters.
