Safety Information

Product and Laser Safety

HP printers are UL 1950 listed, CSA 22.2 950 certified, and manufactured in accordance with DIN IEC 950. The printers are certified as “Class 1” laser products 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. The printers do 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 during any phase of normal user operation.

The Center for 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 from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.

N o t e

In accordance with West German standard

 

VDE0836 (VDE-Bestimmung fur die Elektrische

 

Sicherheit von Lasergeraten und Anlagen), two

 

servicemen are required to service each unit.

Since the laser beam is invisible, the label on the following page is attached to the Laser Scanner Cover inside the printer where there is danger of exposure to laser radiation.

C a u t i o n

Never service or operate the printer with the

 

protective cover removed from the laser scanner

 

assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible,

 

can damage your eyes.
