2.3.3 LD SAFETY SWITCH
To ensure technician and user safety and to prevent the laser beam from
inadvertently switching on during servicing, safety switches are located at the front
and right covers. The switches are installed on the +5VLD line coming from the
power supply unit through the
SBCU
and
IPU
boards.
When the front cover or the right cover is opened, the power supply to the laser
diode is interrupted.
