1.2Working safely with your laser printer
Notes on your safety and operating safety
Working improperly with the printer can resu lt in health hazards and
electric shocks, and may even cause fi r es. Before you unpack the laser
printer, you shou ld make yourse lf fa mil i ar w i th th i s information regarding
your safety and operating safety.
CAUTION
Observe the following information:
Ü Make sure that the powe r cable is correctly p lug ge d i n to the socket
and that the sock et i s a t all times vis i ble and readily accessible.
Ü Do not pull the cable of the power plug as this may damage the cable.
The result could be an electric shock or a fire.
Ü Remove the power plug from the socket if the machine will not be used
for an extended period of time.
Ü Do not remove the power cable from the socket with wet hands as this
may resul t in an e le ctr ic shock.
Ü Do not move the unit unless the power cable has been removed from
the socket. Otherwise, you may damage the cable. The result could be
a short-circuit or a fire.
Ü Do not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Do not pull or kink
the cable as this can result in damage to the cable. The result could
be an electric shock or a fire.
Ü Make sure that the machine is not standing on a cable connected to
another machine as this can result in damage to that cable. The result
could be a fire or improper functioning of the unit in question.
Ü Make sure that the powe r sup pl y to the unit has the correct voltage.
Otherwise, t he r es u l t coul d be a fire or an electric shock.
Ü Switch off the unit immediat ely and unplug the power cable if the
power supply cable is damaged. Failure to do so could result in a fire
or an electric shock. Contact yo ur cust omer suppo rt technical
specialist.
Ü Use only extension cables that are designed for at least the maximum
power rating of the machine. Extens io n c ab l es w i th lo wer ratings can
result in overheating and can even cause a fire.

Introduction
Laser safety
This printer is e quippe d with a laser unit. If the printer is used in
accordance with the instru ct ions in the Online Us er’s Manual, the laser
presents no danger.
The radiation emitted is completely absorbed and attenuated by the case.
The laser radiation cannot escape at any time during the printing process.
This printer is certified as a Class I Lase r product under the US
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This me ans tha t the pr inter does not produce
hazardous laser radiation.
Internal laser radiation
Average radiation output:
1.03 mW at the lase r apert ur e of the print head unit.
Wavelength: 770-810 n
This devic e w or k s with a laser diod e of class 3b with i nvis i b le laser
radiation. The laser diode and the pol ygo n mi r ro r for sampling are
integrated into the lase r unit.
The laser unit is NOT AN ITEM TO BE MAINTAINED ON SITE. You
should therefore not open it under any circumstance.
