LASER SAFETY

The printers comply with the performance standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that these printers belong to a class of laser products that does not produce hazardous laser radiation in customer access areas. This classification was accomplished by providing the necessary protective housings and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1 limits.

There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved, removed, or replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser.

DANGER

<23> Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a Class 1 Laser Product. No adjustments that affect laser operation or power are accessible to the operator.
