Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains 5-milliwatt, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. 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 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.
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.
Supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts other than genuine supplier's parts in your supplier's office product.
For good copy quality, supplier recommends that you use genuine supplier's toner.
