Laser Safety

This is a digital machine which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility
of danger from the laser, provided the machine is operated according to the instruc-
tions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective hous-
ing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user
operation.
This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means the machine does
not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Internal Laser Radiation

Maximum Average Radiant Power: 19.5 (µW) at the laser aperture of the print head
unit.
Wavelength: 770-795 nm
This product employs a Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible laser beam.
The Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print head
unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.

For the United States

CDRH regulation

This machine is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under the Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1990.
Compliance is mandatory for Laser products marketed in the United States and is
reported to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS). This means that the device does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
The label shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must
be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5mW and
the wa velength is 770-795nm.

Laser Safety Label

A laser safety label is attached to the outside of the machine as shown below.
