Safety Information
Laser Safety
This printer is a page printer which operates by means of a laser.
There is no possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer
is operated according to the instructions in this manual provided.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within
protective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine
during any phase of user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power: 8.8 x 10-4(W)
Wave Length: 770-810 (nm)
This is a Class IIIb Laser Diode Assy. that has an invisible laser
beam. The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any cir-
cumstances.
For United States Users
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the U.S.
