Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated
according to the instructio ns in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protectiv e hous ing, the lase r beam canno t escape from t he machine duri ng
any phase of user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power:
0.6 mW at la ser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength:
770 – 810 nm
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible
laser beam.
Laser Diode and Scan ning Polygon Mirror ar e incorpor ated in t he print
head unit.
The print head unit is not a field service item.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circum-
stance.
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class I Laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Per-
formance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

This device must be used with shielded interface (Parallel) cable and
shielded network (10/100Base-T) cable.
The use of non-shielded cable is likely to result in interference with
radio communications and is prohibited under 89/336/EEC rules.
Ozone Release
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This
amount is not large enough to harm anyone adversely. However, be
sure the room where the machine is being used has adequate ventilation, especially if you are printing a high volume of materials, or if the
machine is being used continuously over a long period.

• The power outlet you plan to c onnect to f or po we r shoul d be n earb y
and unobstructed.
• Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas in the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators, and areas subjected to temperature and humidity extremes.
• Choose a sturdy , level surface where the pri nt er wi ll not be exposed
to strong vibration.
• Keep the printer away from any objects that might block its heat
vents.
• Do not locate the printer near curtains or other combustible objects.
• Choose an area where there is no possibility of the printer being

Powe r So urce
The following are the power source requirements for this printer.
Power supply:
220 – 240 V at 50 – 60 Hz
Voltage fluctuation:
220 – 240 V ±10%
Frequency fluctuation:
Within ±3 Hz
Note
Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.
◆
Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this
◆
printer.
Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet
◆
should be located near the printer and be easily accessible so you can
unplug the powe r cord immedi ately should any problem occur.
Make sure the outlet you use is visible, and not hidden behind the printer
◆
or any other object.
If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make
◆
sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the
◆
power consumption of the printer. Using an extension cord with a lower
capacity creates the danger of fire.
Never use a multiple socket to connect other appliances or machines to
◆
the same outlet being used to power the printer.
