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.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housings and external covers,
the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
This printer is certified as a Class 1 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.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiant Power: 4.68 µW at the surface of the OPC drum
Wavelength: 770–795 nm
This product employs a Class IIIb Laser Diode that has an invisible laser beam. The Laser Diode and
Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print head unit. The print head is in the interior of the
printer in front of the toner cartridge. The laser beam is emitted from the print head unit, and then is
radiated through the laser aperture to the interior of the printer.
The internal components of the print head unit are NOT A FIELD SERVICEABLE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
