to the instructions in this manual provided.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completel y confined within protective
housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of
user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiant Power: 36.7 (µW) at laser aperture of the print
head unit
Wavelength: 770-810 (nm)
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode that has an invisible laser beam.
Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirro r are incor porated in the print head u nit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstance.
