FO-3800M

At the production line, the output power of
the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.33
MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is
maintained constant by the operation of the
Automatic Power Control (APC).
Even if the APC circuit fails in operation for
some reason, the maximum output power
will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1 MICRO-
SEC. giving an acceptable emission level
of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than
the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.
The foregoing is applicable only to the 220V
model, 230V model and 240V model.
