CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH stand-
ard and IEC825. This means that this machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of
controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in haz-
ardous radiation exposure.
This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved
on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot damage to the retina.
The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time
of servicing.
1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as
a unit, not as individual parts.
2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner
cartridge, and drum cartridge.
3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected
when removing and installing the optical system.
4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.
LASER WAVE – LENGTH : 780 ∼795
Pulse times : 0.481 ms/6 mm
Out put power : 0.20 ±0.03 mW
CAUTION
INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION,
WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCKS DEFEATED.

At the production line, the output power
of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.57
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 accessible
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.
