hazardous light exposure.
The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the
performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser products do not
emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers do not emit
hazardous radiation because the laser beam is completely enclosed
