Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine contains two 15milliwat, 760-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser
beam might 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 field. 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 might result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Notes:
The model names of the machines do not appear in the following pages. Check the type of your machine before
