Laser Safety - Ricoh G165 Service Manual

Safety and Ecological Notes for Disposal
1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when
exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the organic
photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
To prevent a fire or explosion, keep the machine away from flammable liquids,
gases, and aerosols. A fire or an explosion might occur.
The Controller board on the MF model contains a lithium battery. The danger of
explosion exists if a battery of this type is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard
batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

Laser Safety

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based
optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a
location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a
qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer
engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or
service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
