1.3 Safety Information

Laser Safety

This is a digital machine which operates using a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser provided the machine 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.

This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product: This means the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Internal Laser Radiation

Maximum Average Radiation Power: 26.4 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 laser

beam. The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the

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

circumstances.

Introduction

Print Head

1-6 Konica 7115/7118

Introduction

There is a laser aperture at the location shown above, which must, however, NEVER be viewed directly by the user.

This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5 mW and the wavelength is 770-795 nm.

Laser Aperture of the Print Head Unit

CAUTION

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Konica 7115/7118 1-7

Introduction

LED Radiation Safety

This product is a copier which operates using a LED (light emitting diodes) exposure system. There is no possibility of danger from LED optical radiation, because the LED optical radiation level does not exceed the accessible radiation limit of class 1 under all conditions of operation, maintenance, service and failure.

Ozone Release

NOTE

= Locate the Machine in a Well Ventilated Room = A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this machine. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive machine operations. For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room well ventilated.

Acoustic Noise

For European Users Machine Noise Regulation 3 GSGV, 18.01.1991 : The sound pressure lev-

el at the operator position according to EN 27779 is equal to or less than 70dB(A).

4.2 Loading Originals in the Automatic Document Feeder

The Automatic Document Feeder automatically feeds originals one page after another and lets the copier scan the data on each original. After the copier completes scanning the data, the Automatic Document Feeder ejects it into its tray. To ensure the best possible performance of the Automatic Document Feeder, use only originals of the appropriate type.

Precautions for Using the Automatic Document Feeder

The following types of originals are not suitable for use in the Automatic Document Feeder, as a misfeed or damaged original could result. Place such types of originals on the Original Glass.

G Typing paper, paraffin paper, and other thin paper G Cards G Originals larger than A3 or smaller than A5 G OHP transparencies, translucent paper G Wrinkled, dog-eared, curled, or torn originals G Clipped or stapled originals G Coated originals such as carbon-backed paper

✎

Note

When the original are loaded into the Automatic Document Feeder the original sizes that can be detected in the APS mode are A3L•B4L•A4L•A4C•B5L•B5C, LetterL, LetterC and FLS. The copier may not be able to detect, or may detect of any other size or irregular size.
