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.
l Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power : 1.03 (mW) at laser aperture of the print
head unit
l Wavelength: 770-810 (nm)
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode.
LaserDiodeand ScanningPolygon Mirrorareincorporatedinthe print
head unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any
circumstance.
l Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
