WOW! I thought I was the only one and everyone here thought I was nuts!

I can not be within 15' of my NEC Silentwriter 2-90 Postscript laser
while it's printing. I've been told to proplem is ozone created by
the corona wire in the printer. There is a charcoal filter which is
supposed to absorb it but apparantly NEC has problem in this area.

Plus, if I say around, burning eyes and a pounding headache.

I attached a clothes dryer style flexible exhaust hose and a muffin
fan to mine and ducted it outside and the problems went away.
