Note for recording paper:
LWe recommend that you test paper 
(especially special sizes and types of paper) 
on the unit before purchasing large 
quantities.
LDo not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with a 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
LSome 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.
LFor proper paper feeding and best print 
quality, we recommend using long-grained 
paper.
LDo not use paper of different types or 
thickness at the same time. This may cause a 
paper jam.
LAvoid double-sided printing.
LDo not use paper printed from this unit for 
double-sided printing with other copiers or 
printers. This may cause a paper jam.
LTo 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.
Toner life 
Toner life depends on the amount of content in a 
received, copied or printed document. The 
following is the approximate relationship 
between image area and toner life for 
replacement toner cartridge (Model No. KX-
FA83). Toner life varies in actual usage.
5 % image area
Approx. 2,500 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.
10 % image area
Approx. 1,200 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.
15 % image area
Approx. 800 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.

							10. General Information
80
Note:
LThe image area changes with the depth, 
thickness and size of the characters.
LIf you turn on the toner save feature, the toner 
cartridge will last approx. 40% longer.
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 estimated drum life is approx. 
10,000 sheets. The actual number of sheets your 
drum will print may be significantly less than 
these estimates. 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.

advised of your right to file a complaint with the 
FCC if you believe it is necessary.

Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If 
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company may request that 
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is 
resolved.Connection to party line service is subject to state 
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, 
public service commission or corporation 
commission for information.

connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation of this equipment does not disable your 
alarm equipment. If you have questions about 
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your 
telephone company or a qualified installer.

The Panasonic Fax Advantage Consumer Service Program.Panasonic knows that if your fax machine is not up and running, 
neither is your business. That’s why we created the Panasonic 
Fax Advantage Program. Included at no extra cost with the 
purchase of a new and unused Panasonic Fax Machine, the Fax 
Advantage Program can provide a free replacement unit
3 
overnight if your original unit is in need of repair.
Here’s how it works:1.  If you have a problem with your fax that you purchased new 
and unused while it is covered by the period of limited 
warranty
1, call our toll-free help-line at 1-800-HELP-FAX2.
2. Talk to one of our technical experts to diagnose your problem 
over the phone.
3. If repairs are necessary and you are entitled to service under 
the terms and conditions of the limited warranty
4, we will send 
a refurbished replacement unit to you by overnight service 
delivery.
A second option available under our limited warranty is to mail-in 
or carry-in your fax to one of our Regional Service centers, where 
the unit will be repaired and returned to you.
Instructions:If you choose to receive a replacement unit under the Fax 
Advantage Program, Panasonic will provide a replacement unit 
which will be completely refurbished, quality-tested by Panasonic 
technicians and individually hand-inspected before it is shipped 
to you. You will keep the replacement unit and send the original 
unit to us in the replacement unit’s box. Contact the shipper who 
will pick up the unit at no charge to you, should it be determined 
that you are entitled to warranty service. A proof-of-purchase 
must be included with the returned product. Any unit that is 
replaced by Panasonic and not shipped with proper proof-of-
purchase by you will be subject to a minimum $100.00 charge. 
The original unit must be properly packaged in the same manner 
as the replacement unit, utilizing the packing materials provided. 
Damage due to improper or inadequate packing will be charged 
to you as an out-of-warranty cost.If our 1-800-HELP-FAX technicians determine that your unit 
may be an “out-of-box failure”
5, we will attempt to provide you 
with a factory-new replacement unit6. You must ship a copy of 
your receipt with your original unit to verify that you purchased 
the unit within 10 days prior to your 1-800-HELP-FAX call.
Requirements:You must give our technicians a valid credit card number 
(Discover, VISA, Master Card, or American Express/Optima). 
Product that is not returned to Panasonic by 10 business days 
after shipment of the replacement product will be charged to 
your credit card account at Panasonic’s Suggested Retail Price 
(see dealer for details). If your original unit is not eligible for 
warranty service, your card will be charged for the non-warranty 
repair of the unit at Panasonic’s current rate for parts and labor 
and for any shipping charges associated with this program. If 
you do not wish to pay out-of-warranty repair costs, you will be 
responsible for returning the replacement unit to Panasonic and 
for paying all shipping charges associated with this program
including the overnight delivery of the replacement product to 
you, shipment of the problem unit to Panasonic, shipment of 
the replacement unit back to Panasonic and the return of your 
original unit back to you. Credit status will be verified prior to 
sending the replacement product.
1.  See dealer for limited warranty details.
2.  After the fax advantage program, contact our Continued 
Services Technical Support Line at 1-900-FAX-HELP (1-
900-329-4357), for fee based technical support.
3.  Replacement unit is refurbished.
4.  Replacement program is only available in the 50 United  
States and is subject to termination at any time without 
advance notice.
5.  “Out-of-box failure” is an inoperable unit that was purchased 
no more than 10 days prior to your 1-800-HELP-FAX call, 
and would otherwise qualify for warranty service under the 
terms and conditions of the limited warranty.
6.  Panasonic reserves the right to send a refurbished unit.
