Introduction Chapter 1

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.

7218 1-11

Internal Laser Radiation

Maximum Average Radiation Power: 6.32 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.

Introduction Chapter 1

The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM:

Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
