Laser Notices 

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 (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.
