SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LASER SAFETY The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by ® international regulatory agencies and refers to the correct use of the LazerData 11000 Series Bar Code Scanner. Standard Regulations This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun.

WARNING Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light. The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the front of the scanner (Figure A., Warning labels (Figure B.) indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are applied onto the body of the scanner (Figure A.,...

The laser diode used in this device is classified as a class 3B laser product according to IEC 825-1 regulations and as a Class IIIb laser product according to CDRH regulations. As it is not possible to apply a classification label on the laser diode used in this device, the following label (Figure C.) is reproduced here.
These were designed to satisfy demanding requirements associated with high performance scanning. C Programmability The LazerData 11000 Scanner belongs to the generation of PSC Automation scanners that operate under the 'C' programming environment, a recognized industry standard.
