Laser Safety (120 V Model Only) 

This printer is certified as a Class I 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. However, the 
machine contains 5-milliwat, 700-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect 
reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock 
mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator. 
 

 
FDA Regulations (For 120 V Model Only) 

 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured on and 
after August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label shown on 
the back of the printer indicates compliance with the FDA regulations and must be attached to laser products 
marketed in the United States. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Caution

: 

Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified in this 
manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
