Safety Information
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce
hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is
completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user
operation.
Laser Notice
This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS
21 CFR Subchapter for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is
certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC
825.
DANGER:CLASS 3B LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. AVOID
DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Radio Frequency Transmitter
This machine contains the transmitter module. We, the manufacturer
(Kyocera Mita Corporation) hereby declare that this equipment (page
printer), model FS-9130DN and FS-9530DN are in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/
EC.

Caution Labels
Caution labels have been attached to the copier at the following locations
for safety purposes. Be sufficiently careful to avoid fire or electric shock
when removing a paper jam or when replacing toner.
NOTE: Do not remove these labels.
High temperature inside. Do not
touch parts in this area, because
there is a danger of getting burned.
Do not incinerate toner and toner
container. Dangerous sparks may
cause burn.

xii OPERATION GUIDE
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on
August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured
after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in
the United States. A label indicating compliance with the CDRH regulations
must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States. On this
machine, the label is on the right.
Ozone Concentration
The printers generate ozone gas (O3) which may concentrate in the place
of installation and cause an unpleasant smell. To minimize the
concentration of ozone gas to less than 0.1ppm, we recommend you not
to install the printer in a confined area where ventilation is blocked.

Energy Saving Control Function
This printer comes equipped with a Low Power Mode where printer
function remains in a waiting state but energy consumption is still reduced
after a certain amount of time elapses since the printer was last used, as
well as a Sleep Mode where printer function remains in a waiting state but
power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity
with the printer within a set amount of time.
Low Power Mode
This printer automatically enters Low Power Mode when approximately 9
minutes have passed since the printer was last used.
Sleep Mode
This printer automatically enters Sleep Mode when approximately 15
minutes (in U.S.A./Canada) or 20 minutes (in European countries) have
passed since the printer was last used. The amount of time of no activity
that must pass before Sleep Mode is activated may be lengthened.
Duplex Printing
This printer includes duplex printing as a standard function. For example,
by printing two single-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a
duplex printing, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used.
Recycled Paper
This printer supports recycled paper which reduces the load on the
environment. Your sales or service representative can provide information
about recommended paper types.
