Laser safety statement
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured since August 1, 
1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The printer is 
certified as a “Class 1 ” 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.
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and 
external covers, the laser beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation. 
WA R N I N G ! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified in this 
user guide may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
Canadian DOC statement
Complies with Canadian EMC Class B requirements.
