the charged substrate could attract oppositely charged particles of dust
and dirt and hold them on its surface,
the machine operator could suffer harmless yet unpleasant minor elec-
trical shocks when approaching the machine,
Impairment of the image quality: In the areas with a high charge or
where flashovers have already occurred, the ink drops to be trans-
ferred could be deviated or applied differently than desired on the sub-
strate.
but the worst that could happen would be:
light arcs could jump over to the sensitive print heads and damage or
clog the individual nozzles there.
In order to preclude the negative effects listed here, the electrodes of the
substrate discharger are automatically activated / switched-on whenever
the substrate is in motion inside the printer, that is, during the normal print-
ing process, and also during the mechanical feed process.
Caution
Risk of injury upon contact with the electrodes of the printing substrate
discharger.
Do not reach into the area between the two electrodes / do not
touch their needle-like contacts.
The electrodes of the printing substrate discharge units are activated auto-
matically when the printing substrate is moving inside the printer.
The printing substrate discharge unit has its own power supply unit and is
switched on/off via this unit. The power supply unit sits behind the rear
middle door of the printer, see Fig. 28.
