Hello -
I have a new 23" CRT computer monitor, which degausses itself when turned on. I also have a color laser printer right next to the monitor - about 8 inches. Since this monitor is so large, hence the degaussing coil is so "strong", can the EMF field damage the printer circuitry? Or a computer? If so, what's a good distance to keep away from the monitor, for electronic devices and printers? 1 foot? 2 feet? Thanks for any advice! -Mike -- --- *If you want to email me directly, simply remove all instances of the letter "x" from my email address.

Interference is related to the intensity of the signal and the sensitivity of the equipment that can be affected. Once I designed some audio/digital equipment that was installed about 10" above a High Voltage(3000Volts) 10 KW power transformer. It worked OK because I have eliminated all signal transformers from my board. I wouldn't store floppies or cassette tapes on top of the monitor Vlad |

I don't think you have too much to worry about in a laser printer, but
Vlad is defifinitely right about magnetic media. While is may actually be possible for the degaussing to disturb the particles of toner, first of all you wpuld have to already be printing whe you turn the monitor on. Of course I'm talking the quality of one page, I don't think it'll hurt the printer at all, and a laser printer might actually be better off demagnetized. I really don't know, but it fits Also realize this, monitor manufacturers don't want to waste a magnetic field, they would rather keep it contained. It costs money to create that field and not focusing it properly cost money in higher current components and power drain. If you look at the DG coil in some monitors you'll see it's arrainged in a figure eight, or more that one figure eight. They want to "focus" that field on the tube, not on something next to it.
