Foreword Safety Information Laser Safety This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated according to the instructions in this manual. Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within pro- tective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
