Safety Information

l Laser Safety
This is a pageprinterwhich operates by means of a laser.Thereisno possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer 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.
l Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power: 1.03 (mW) at laser aperture of the print head unit Wavelength: 770-810 (nm) This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode. LaserDiodeand ScanningPolygonMirrorareincorporatedintheprint 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 Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
l CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implementedregulationsfor laser products on August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in theUnitedStates.The label shown on the following page indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
WARNING
è Useofcontrols,adjustments orperformanceof proceduresotherthan
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This is a semiconductor laser. The maximumpower of the laserdiode is 5mW and the wavelength is 770-810 nm.
