Precautions With Consumables - Panasonic FP-7818 Service Manual & Parts Manual

1. 8 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 a 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 developer unit with the photo receptor 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. Do not mix with toner and developer for other models.
2) Do not mix foreign materials.
Be careful not to include foreign materials in the toner and developer. If you
spilled toner or developer on a table or floor when adding toner or developer in
the developer unit, discard what was dropped. 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 supply. 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 (high temperature
in particular) and humidity (high humidity in particular). Pay attention to the
following items for storage and transport.
• Store them in a dark and cool location (lower than 95 F/35 C) and out of direct
sunshine.
• Be careful not to expose them to rain or direct sunshine 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 deg.C or higher in a closed vehicle compartment.)
