Operator Safety
This machine is considered a CDRH Class l laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The mac hine contains a 10-milliwatt, 770-810 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected)
eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock
mechanism have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical unit
in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite
equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis
and laser subsystems to the fac tory or se rvice d epot when replace ment or the op tical subsyste m is required.
Warning:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the inch version.
For good copy quality, Ricoh recommends that you use genuine Ricoh toner.
Ricoh shall not be resp onsib le for any damag e or exp ense that m ight res ult fr om the u se of part s other
