Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDPuse. The machine contains 5-milliwat, 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 or the optical subsystem is required.

Important

Parts of this manual are subject to change without prior notice. In no event will the company be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of handling or operating the machine.

Caution:

Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Do not attempt any maintenance or troubleshooting other than that mentioned in this manual. This machine contains a laser beam generator and direct exposure to laser beams can cause permanent eye damage.

Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the inch version.

Where to Put the Printer

The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental

A

conditions greatly affect its performance.

WARNING:

2

• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely acces-

sible, so that in the event of an emergency, it can be easily unplugged.

• Only connect the machine to the power source described on this

sheet.

• Avoid multi-wiring.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power

cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could damage the cord. A frayed or damaged cord might cause an electrical and fire hazard.

CAUTION:

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical or fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an electrical or fire hazard.

• Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, the machine might fall and injure someone.

• If you use the machine in a confined space, confirm there is a continuous air turnover.
