Interlock Switch
Nov 93
This printer has an interlock switch circuit to meet safety and international
requirements.
The interlock switch circuit disables the power supply voltages when the
ribbon deck is lifted. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-3. This eliminates any
potential shock hazard or inadvertent printer start-up while moving parts in
the print area are accessible. The ribbon deck must be in place and the
screws must be tightened securely for printer operation.
Important: RemDving the ribbon deck with the power applied will energize the
interlock
circuit.
