■ Laser Safety

This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated according to the instructions in this manual.

Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

■

Internal Laser Radiation

Maximum average radiation power:35 µW at the laser aperture of the print head unit.

Wavelength: 770–795 nm. This product employs a Class 3b laser diode that

emits an invisible laserbeam. The laserdiode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the print head unit.

The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICEABLE ITEM. Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
