Safety of Laser Beam (USA)
xvi
1. Safety of laser beam
This copier has been certified by the manufacturer to Class 1 level under
the radiation performance standards established by the U.S.DHHS
(Department of Health and Human Services) in 1968. This indicates that
the product is safe to use during normal operation and maintenance. The
laser optical system, enclosed in a protective housing and sealed within
the external covers, never permits the laser beam to escape.
2. The CDRH Act
A laser-product-related act was implemented on Aug. 2, 1976, by the
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). This act prohibits the sale of laser products in
the U.S. without certification, and applies to laser products manufactured
after Aug. 1, 1976. The label shown below indicates compliance with the
CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the
United States. On this copier, the label is on the side.
3. Optical unit
When checking the optical unit, avoid direct exposure to the laser beam,
which is invisible.
Shown at left is the label located on the cover of the optical unit.
