2.1.3 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
cover and right cover. The switches are installed on the +5VLD line coming from
the power supply unit through the Engine control board.
When the front cover or the right cover is opened, the power supply to the laser
diode is interrupted.
