Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Direct laser printer to PCB?

2006-07-22 by Lez

Would putting a conductive item like a sheet of copper clad pcb into a
laser 'short out' the static charge, or even 'blow up' the printer?

I'm just thinking about the high voltages that must exist to cause the
toner to become electrostatic and the copper going through roller on
an earthed chassis.
