aser Beam

Letting a laser beam get directly into your eyes could result in loss of vision.Never open the Cover where the Warning Label about Laser Beam is affixed.Before disassembling or assembling, be sure to turn the power off.If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual.Understand hazardous nature of the laser beam, use extreme caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you.

Since the laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light), the beam has excellent monochromaticity and convergence, thus it reaches long distances.Because of these characteristics, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature, which is harmful to the human body.

Reference: The laser beam in this printer is invisible.

The print page-based service life values of the Consumables and Periodical Replacement Parts are guidelines. The number of printable pages changes depending on how they are printed. The number of printable pages decreases depending on the intermittent printing (where a few pages, one to several pages, are printed each time), paper size, paper orientation, thick paper printing, printed document, frequent power-on/off, etc. Hence, the number of printable pages of the consumables and periodical replacement parts may become less than a half depending on the operating conditions and environment of the user.
