Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/ EDPuse. The machine contains 5­milliwat, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam m i ght cause serious ey e damage. Safety p re cautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to preven t an y possible laser beam exposure to the operator .
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibi ts the repair of laser- based optical unit in the field. The optical hous i ng unit can only be repaired in a f act or y or at a location with the re qui site equipment. The laser subsy stem is replac eable in the field by a quali fied Custome r Engineer.The l aser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or serv i ce depot when replacement or the optical subsys t em is required.

Notice:
This equipment has been tes t ed and found to comply with the limits for a C lass B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Ru le s . Th ese limits are designed to pr ovi de reasonable protect i on against harmful inte r­ference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and us ed in accord ance with the instru ctions, may cau se harmful int erference to rad io communications.
However, there is no guar antee that inter ference will not occur in a particular i nstallation. If this eq uipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telev ision reception, which can be de termined by turning the equipment off and on, the use r is encou raged to try to correct the int erfere nce by o ne mor e of the f ollowi ng measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech nician f or he lp.
Warning
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the us­er's authority to operat e the equipment.
Caution (in case of 100BaseTX environment):
1. Properly shielded and grounded cables (STP) and connectors must be used for connections to host com­puter (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission limits.
2. STP with ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.

WARNING:
Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex­tension cord.
Disconnect the power plu g (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becom es frayed or damaged.
To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this man­ual.
Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the following conditions exist:
You spill something into the equipment.
You suspect that your equipment needs service or repair.
Your equipment's cover has been damaged.
Do not incinera te spilled tone r or used toner . Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

Printer Features

This printer is designed especially for office work groups. It can be used for net­work environments and allows you to handle documents efficiently.
High Performance
The new 45 print per minute (ppm) engine with PowerPC 603 100 MHz pro­cessor and built-in 1.7 GB hard disk drive (HDD) reduces waiting time for output.
Versatile Paper Handling Options
This printer offers the flexibility of selecting from a variety of paper handling options. The large input capacity, up to 3,550 sheets from six input sources, reduces the inconvenience of reloading paper. The output devices free users from manually collating, stapling or punching documents.
High Productivity
A high-speed engine combined with advanced paper handling features in­creases the productivity of users who need to print several sets of multiple page documents. With the proof printing function, users can confirm that the output is correct before several sets of documents are printed out.
Network Connectivity
This printer is network capable with a built-in 100BASE-TX card. It is easy to connect this printer to your network with utility.
Crisp Print Image Quality
This printer supports PCL 6 as well as Adobe PostScript Level 3. With a real 600dpi-resolution engine(plus smoothing technology), crisp im­ages can be printed.

PCL printer drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer using a printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are included in the CD-ROM that comes with this printer. We recommend the PCL 6 as your first choice. However, some of your applications might require installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in addition to the PCL 6.
