Dunno but I found this which is interesting... Read the last line :~)
LASERWRITER 12/640
An Apple OEM (original equipment manufacturer) recently identified a
potential minor safety issue in the LaserWriter 12/640 PS and
LaserWriter
12/640 PS Plus printers (referred to jointly as the LaserWriter 12/640).
Under certain conditions, a small percentage of LaserWriter 12/640
printers
may fail to disable the power inside the unit when the top cover is
opened.
This may cause users to come into contact with low-level electrical
voltage
or be exposed to rotating parts. Because only a small percentage of
LaserWriter 12/640 printers fail to disable the power when the top
cover is
open, a relatively small number of users are at risk of low-level
electrical
shock. To address this issue, Apple developed a Repair Extension
Authorization (REA) Program to modify customers' printers. Modifications
to reduce paper jams should also be performed as part of this REA
program.
Modified LaserWriter 12/640 printers are not susceptible to the safety
issue
and do not need new DC controllers or the paper jam reduction
modifications.
Modified printers have:
* Serial numbers greater than xx710xxxxxx
* A blue dot on the UPC label of the printer box
* A small (2 to 10mm diameter) white dot on the left side vertical
surface at the entrance of the paper tray.
These units are covered under the Apple REA program until May 2004.
