Operating Instructions
Operator Safety:
This copier is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The
Copier contains a 15-milliwat, 760-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode.
Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye
damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms 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 filed. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis
and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical
subsystem is required.
Warning:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified
in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
