Laser safety

WARNING

Adjustments, use of controls, or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
light exposure.

The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the
performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser
products do not emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers
do not emit hazardous radiation because the laser beam is
completely enclosed during all modes of customer operation.

The laser danger labels on the system are for Xerox service
representatives and are on or near panels or shields that must
be removed with a tool.

DO NOT REMOVE LABELED PANELS OR PANELS NEAR
LABELS. ONLY XEROX SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE
ACCESS TO THESE PANELS.
