Abstract
A method and an apparatus for preventing damage inside a printing machine caused by the radiation of microwaves emanating from microwave mechanisms. Undesired effects of the microwave radiation are automatically detected and then limited by countermeasures. Special provision is made for detecting an electrical discharge, or smoldering or burning of a printing medium inside the microwave mechanism, and then initiating suitable countermeasures.
