Laser/scanner system
The formatter sends video signals to the DC controller, which controls the laser/scanner. When the laser/
scanner system receives those signals, it converts them to latent images on the photosensitive drum.

Laser failure detection
The optical unit failure detection sensor manages the laser/scanner unit failure-detection functions. The
DC controller identifies the laser/scanner unit failure and notifies the formatter if the laser/scanner unit
encounters the following conditions:
●
Scanner motor failure
●
BD failure
