Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated
according to the instructions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within pro-
tective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during
any phase of user operation.

Maximum Radiation Power : 1.03 (mW) at laser aperture of the print
head unit
Wavelength : 770-810 (nm)
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode.
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 circum-
stance.
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Per-

ardous laser radiation.
