This is a Class IIIb Laser Diode Assembly that has an invisible
laser beam. The printer head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE
ITEM. Therefore, the printer head unit should not be opened
under any circumstances.
Ozone safety
Ozone emission
Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the
printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is
printing.
Ozone exposure limit
The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per
million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted
concentration over an eight (8) hour period.
The EPSON AcuLaser C8500 generates less than 0.1 ppm for 8
hours of continuous printing.
Minimize the risk
To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the
following conditions:
❏
Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area (see above)
❏
Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity
❏
Poor room ventilation
❏
Long, continuous printing together with any of the above
