  • Page 15: Chapter 2 Safety

    The Inkjet Printer is a machine with fast moving parts and powerful chemicals that present some risks. Agfa Graphics has taken measures to mitigate these risks, but it is impossible to make the printer work completely risk-free. There are always (new) risks.

  • Page 16: Safety Devices

    2.2 Safety devices 2.2.1 Safety sensors (light curtains) Vertical safety light curtains are installed at the front and back of the printer. A safety light curtain consists of two opto-electronic beams with a sensing field (curtain) in between. The light curtains are used to detect the presence of a person’s finger, hand, limb or other obstacle.
