    INSTALLATION GUIDE Regulatory Notices Laser Safety This product employs a Class 3B laser diode having maximum power of 35 mW and wavelength of 770-800 nm. This product is certified as a Class 1 laser product. Since the laser beam is concealed by protective housings, the product does not emit hazardous laser radiation as long as the product is operated according to the instructions in this manual.

  • Page 6: Fcc Regulations

    INSTALLATION GUIDE FCC Regulations This equipment generates and uses radio frequency and, if not installed in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio and television reception. The equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in subpart J of Part 15 of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a commercial installation.

  • Page 8: Cdrh Regulations

    INSTALLATION GUIDE DHHS This printer is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product under the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is wholly confined within protected housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the equipment during any phase of user operation.
  • Page 9 INSTALLATION GUIDE General Notes, Warnings, and Cautions Note: The LP 100R printer uses an electrophotographic printing system, which requires more precautions in observing paper specifications than those required for conventional impact line printers. In an electrophotographic printing system, improper toner transfer and missing characters are evident if the paper absorbs moisture and ripples in the vicinity of the perforation.
  • Page 10 Preface Purpose of This Guide To present installation instructions for the LP 100R printer. This guide provides all installation instructions, from initial unpacking through electromechanical setup, that are required to prepare the printer for paper loading and operation using the instructions provided in the LP 100R Operator's Guide (Document Number 9855063).
