Laser Notices 
 
Laser Safety (120 V Model Only) 
 
This printer is certified as a Class I laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 
1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation. 
 
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external 
covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. However, the 
machine contains 5-milliwat, 700-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect 
reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock 
mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator. 
 
 
FDA Regulations (For 120 V Model Only) 
 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured on and 
after August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label shown on 
the back of the printer indicates compliance with the FDA regulations and must be attached to laser products 
marketed in the United States. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Caution:  Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified in this 
manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Safety Information 
 
IMPORTANT - For Your Safety 
 
To ensure safe operation the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin 
power outlet that is properly grounded through the normal household wiring.  
 
Extension cords should not be used with the equipment.  If it is essential that an extension cord has 
to be used, it must be a three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding.  
Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage. 
 
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that 
the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the 
power, consult a qualified electrician.  
 
Caution 
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual 
might result in hazardous radiation exposure. 
 
Disconnect device 
This printer must be installed near a power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, 
you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely. 
 
Caution for batteries 
Do not replace the battery.  There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.  Do 
not disassemble, recharge or dispose of by fire.  Used batteries should be disposed of according to 
local regulations. 
 
Caution for LAN connection 
Connect this product to the LAN connection which is not subjected to overvoltages. 
 
IT power system (For Norway only) 
This product is also designed for IT power system with phase to phase voltage 230V. 
 
 
Opmerking / Oplaadbare Batterij Recycle Informatie (For Netherlands Only)  
Bij dit product zijn batterijen geleverd.  Wanneer deze leeg zijn,  
moet u ze niet weggooien maar inleveren als Klein Chemisch Afval.

Wiring Information (For U.K. only) 
 
Important
 
 
If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your socket outlet, remove the plug from the 
mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit the 
same rating fuse as the original. 
 
If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be destroyed because a plug with cut wires is 
dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child might find it! 
 
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the 
original fuse. 
 
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted. 
 
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED. 
 
The wires in the mains cord are colored in accordance with the following code: 
 
Green and yellow:  Earth 
Blue:       Neutral 
Brown:     Live 
 
The colors of the wires in the main lead of this printer may not correspond with the colored markings 
identifying the terminals in your plug. 
 
If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows. 
 
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the colored insulation of the wires inside. 
 
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug permits, leave the green and 
yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and 
yellow wire will be the last to disconnect. 
 
Remove a short section of the colored insulation to expose the wires. 
 
The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with 
the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol 
 or colored green or green and yellow. 
 
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or 
colored black or blue. 
 
The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or 
colored red or brown. 
 
The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The colored wires should not hang out of the plug.
