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).
