How Electrostatic Discharge Affects Your Warranty
Incidental and consequential damages caused by not discharging
electrostatic buildup can affect your printer warranty. Electrostatic
discharge can destroy circuit boards, such as a SIMM or your
printer’s controller board. To prevent this, use an antistatic
wristband when handling printer circuit boards. To use it, attach
one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient
electrical ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of
equipment, as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but
turned off). Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment
with an electrical current present. Turn off all power switches first.
Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are
not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn’t an acceptable
grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you
perform this task.
If you don’t have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body’s
static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you
handle any printer boards or components and before removing the
tray assembly cover. Redischarge your body each time after
walking around and before touching the printer again.
