Operator Safety
This machine is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine contains a
5-milliwat, 760-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye con-
tact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mecha-
nisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
The following label is attached on the back side of the machine.
Laser Safety:
The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment.
The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is
not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser sub-
systems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
Warning:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
