LASER SHUTTER MECHANISM
There is a shutter mechanism provided to prevent the PH from being 
contaminated with foreign matter such as dust when the front cover is opened, 
or prevent the emission laser from leaking outside for any reason.
The Shutter operates relative to the removing and inserting Photoconductor 
Unit because PH Unit is not exposed concerning the layout of the unit when 
Photoconductor Unit is inserted. The shutter opens by pressing shutter guide at 
insertion of the Photoconductor Unit, and closes at de-installation of the 
Photoconductor Unit.

LASER EMISSION AREA
 Main scan direction (CD)
 The print start position is determined by the start signal for main scan 
print and the range of the paper size output from the Mechanical 
Control Board (PWB-P).
The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. The area of 4 mm/
0.157 inch on both edges of the paper is, however, the void image area.
 Sub scan direction (FD)
The print start position is determined by the writing image signal and the 
range of the paper size output from the Mechanical Control Board (PWB-P).
 The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. The area of 4.2 
mm/0.165 inch on the leading and trailing edges and 4 mm/0.157 inch 
on both the side edges of the paper are, however, the void image area.
