Safety Switch - Ricoh G108 Service Manual

OPTICAL HOUSING UNIT

6.3.6 SAFETY SWITCH

The printer has three safety switches
[A][B][C]. They are actuated when the
following covers are closed:
[A]: Rear cover
[B]: Top cover
[C]: Front cover
These covers all have a tab or
protruding part that actuates
the safety switch:
• Rear cover–in the front left
corner [a]
• Top cover–on the bottom
side near the left end [b]
• Front cover–at the top end
near the right end [c]
The lever on the front cover [E] is attached to the latch [c]. When you pull the lever
(the front cover stays closed), the latch releases lever [D] on the front of the
machine. The safety switch [C] is then de-actuated. In other words, the safety
switch [C] is de-actuated before you fully open the front cover. By comparison, the
lever on the rear cover [F] is not attached to a safety switch. The printer can
operate even when you pull the lever (so long as the rear cover stays closed).
NOTE: The top cover also does not have such a lever.
