Comments on: Do copy machines have lasers in them? the green light? http://www.copiasmita.com/copy-machines/do-copy-machines-have-lasers-in-them-the-green-light Mon, 23 May 2011 14:48:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Diana http://www.copiasmita.com/copy-machines/do-copy-machines-have-lasers-in-them-the-green-light#comment-3425 Diana Sat, 06 Feb 2010 13:29:59 +0000 http://www.copiasmita.com/copy-machines/do-copy-machines-have-lasers-in-them-the-green-light#comment-3425 there are no machines that emits dangerous levels of illumination weather laser or scattered (regular) light some photocopiers use green lights while some use regular white lamps they are a bit bright of course if you stare at them on the long haul it could damage your eyes however sometimes there are equipments like microwave ovens...that have broken parts these could be dangerous unless the photocopier has broken parts like lids or other shielding parts there should be no dangerous levels of radiation of any kind. also it could be that you are more sensitive to light some people have a much lower pain threshold either for sound, light... talk to your doctor next time you visit check that your retina functions properly by getting big in the dark and contracting in bright light, compare with friends. also ask to be transferred to another function D<br><b>References : </b><br> there are no machines that emits dangerous levels of illumination weather laser or scattered (regular) light

some photocopiers use green lights while some use regular white lamps they are a bit bright
of course if you stare at them on the long haul it could damage your eyes

however sometimes there are equipments like microwave ovens…that have broken parts
these could be dangerous

unless the photocopier has broken parts like lids or other shielding parts there should be no dangerous levels of radiation of any kind.

also it could be that you are more sensitive to light
some people have a much lower pain threshold either for sound, light…
talk to your doctor next time you visit
check that your retina functions properly by getting big in the dark and contracting in bright light, compare with friends.

also ask to be transferred to another function

YOU are being WAY overly sensitive. neither machine is going to harm you in any way.<br><b>References : </b><br>Five years experience as an office equipment repairman and trainer.

YOU are being WAY overly sensitive. neither machine is going to harm you in any way.

It is bright but it,s not a laser. If you want to find a laser in your office look in the laser printer and the CD rom on your computer, both are shielded to prevent eye damage.<br><b>References : </b><br>HND Electronics UK The photo copy machine will use a tungsten halogen lamp, probably a linear one, to give the light for the copying process.
