Safety information Laser safety 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 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 printer during any phase of user operation. iv Introduction Laser notice This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 825. Caution Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. (European/Asian countries) (U.S.A./Canada) CDRH regulations The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. A label indicating compliance with the CDRH regulations must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States. Ozone concentration The printers generate ozone gas (O3 ) which may concentrate in the place of installation and cause an unpleasant smell. To minimize concentration of ozone gas to less than 0.1 ppm, we recommend you not to install the printer in a confined area where ventilation is blocked. v Introduction IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
