Safety Information
Laser Safety
This printer 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 provided.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective
housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of
user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiant Power: 36.7 (µW) at laser aperture of the print
head unit
Wavelength: 770-810 (nm)
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode that has an invisible laser beam.
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 circumstance.
This figure shows the internal view of the printer when the right side cover is
opened and the imaging cartridge removed.
