The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

Read the following remarks and instructions for safety.

If the laser beam escapes from the machine, exposure may cause serious damage to your eyes.

Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.

Do not remove the caution labels attached to the laser scanner unit inside the machine and next to the toner cartridge, behind the front cover.
