Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a digital machine which prints by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser,
provided the machine is operated according to the instructions in this manual.
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.
This machine is certified as a Class 1 product. This means the machine does not produce hazardous laser
radiation.
CAUTION:The use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Because of this, Minolta
strongly recommends that you operate your copy machine only as described in this
documentation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiation Power: 36.7µW at laser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength: 770-810nm
This product employs a Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible laser beam.
The Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print head unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
Laser Aperture of the Print Head Unit
This figure shows the view inside the Right Side Door with the Imaging Unit removed.
For United States
CDRH regulation
This copier is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the Radiation Performance Standard according to
the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1990. Compliance is mandatory for Laser products marketed in the
United States and is reported to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This means that the device does not produce
hazardous laser radiation.

2
The label shown on next page indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to
laser products marketed in the United States.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in
this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5mW and the wavelength is
770-810nm.
For Europe
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in
this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5mW and the wavelength is
770-810nm.
For Denmark
ADVARSEL
Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning, når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.
Undgå udsættelse for stråling.

For Finland
LUOKAN 1 LASERLAITE
VAROITUS
Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän
turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.
VARO
Avattaessa ja suojalukitus ohitettaessa olet alttiina näkymättomälle lasersäteilylle.
Älä katso säteeseen.
For Sweden
KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT
VARNING
Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren
utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.
VARNING
