WARNING

• Do not modify this product: Fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could re­sult.If the product employs a laser,the laser beam sourcecould cause
blindness.

• Do not attemptto remove the covers and panels which have been fixed to
the product. Some productshave a high-voltage part or a laser beam
source inside that could cause an electrical shock or blindness.

• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. Failure to use this cord
could result in fire or electrical shock.

• Use only the specified power sourcevoltage. Failure to do so could result
in fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use a multipleoutlet adapter to connect any other appliances or
machines. Use of a power outlet for m ore than the marked currentvalue
could result in fire or electrical shock.

Do not unplugand plug in the power cord with a wethand:An electrical shock
could result.

Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do so could
resultin fire or electrical shock.

• Do not scratch,abrade,placea heavyobjecton, heat, twist,bend,pull on,
or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed core

in a place subject to direct sunlight and high temperature or humidity, as
poor image quality and malfunction could result.

• Do not attempt to replace the toner unit and PC drum unit in a place ex­posedtodirectsunlight.Ifthe PC drum is exposedto intenselight,poor im­age quality could result.

• Do not unpack a toner unit or PC drum unit until the very time of use. Do
not leave an unpacked unit standing. Installit immediately or poor image
quality could result.

• Do not keep tonerunitsand PC drum unitsinan upright position or upside
down, as poor image quality could result.

• Do not throw or drop a toner unit or PC drum unit, as poor image quality

Laser Safety

This is a digital machine which operates using a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser provided the machine 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.

This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product: This means the
machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Internal Laser Radiation

Maximum Average Radiation Power:26.4 µW at the laser aperture of the
print head unit.

Wavelength: 770-795 nm
This product employs a Class 3b laser diode that emits an invisible laser

beam.
The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the

print head unit.

Ozone Release

NOTE

= Locate the Machine in a Well Ventilated Room =
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of
this machine. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly
ventilated rooms during extensive machine operations. For a comfort­able, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that
the room well ventilated.

REMARQUE

= Placer l’appareil dans une pièce largement ventilée =
Une quantité d’ozone négligable e st dégagée pendant le fonctionne­ment de l’appareil quand celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant,
une odeur désagréablepeut être ressentie dans les pièces dont l’aéra­tion est insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée de l’appareilest
effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un environnement
réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est
préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve l’appareil.
