A type 62256 or equivalent.  I paid about $8.00 for mine, they are advertised
in many places, ask for 62256 but there are many equivalent part numbers. 
The real trick is getting the Panasonic apart to install the chip.  You 
place your fingers on the top of the front cover, press down and pull forward.
The cover should snap off, be careful of the attached wires.  Remove the three
screws revealed and the printer top can be removed.  There is only one empty
socket, put the chip there oriented as the two adjacent.
