Safety Information

Laser Safety

This printer is certified as a Class

laser product under the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation

Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health

and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce

hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined

within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam

cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CDRH Regulations

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser

products on August 2,1976. These regulations apply to laser

products manufactured from August 1,1976. Compliance is

mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label

shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and

must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Operator Safety

This Laser Page Printer is considered a CDRH Class I laser device,

safe for personal use.

The printer contains a 5 milliwatt, 760-810 nanometer wavelength,

GaAlAs laser diode.

Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam may

cause serious eye damage; however, safety precautions and interlock

mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam

exposure to the operator.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustment or performance

of procedures other than those specified herein may result

in hazardous radiation exposure.

Ozone Emission

During printer operation, a small amount of ozone is released. This

amount is nct large enough to affect human beings adversely.

However, it is best to make sure the room where you are using the

printer has adequate circulation, especially if you are printing a high

volume of materials or using the printer continuously over a long

period of time.
