Installation and Service Guide: Printer Controller EB-34
Introduction
•
If you need to assign an IP address to the EB-34, consult with the network administrator at customer site.
In a DHCP environment, the system assigns the IP address automatically. In a non-DHCP environment, enter only
the IP address that has been assigned by the network administrator. Only the network administrator should assign
an IP address to a network device. Assigning the EB-34 an incorrect IP address may cause unpredictable errors on
any or all devices connected to the network.
•
When recycling or disposing of any product or packaging, please comply with local guidelines or regulations.
•
Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these items in the
vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Creating an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe environment
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the copier and
the EB-34 is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic clothing fibers, silks, and plastics may generate a
static charge of more than 10,000 volts. Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon
microchips, or dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions, you may avoid extra service
calls and save the cost of a new board.
When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap, grounded at the same
place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible, do the following:
•
Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.
•
When you unpack the EB-34 from the carton for the first time, touch a metal area of the copier to discharge the
static on your body.
•
Before you remove any of the EB-34 panels and handle internal components, touch a metal part of the EB-34.
•
Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them. When you remove
components from an antistatic bag, place them on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.
•
When you remove an electronic component, place it in an antistatic bag immediately. Do not walk across a carpet
or vinyl floor while carrying an unprotected board.
•
During service to the motherboard, avoid using excessive force and always place the motherboard on a grounded,
non-metallic, antistatic surface. Never allow any metal to touch the solder contacts on the underside of the
motherboard, especially beneath the battery socket. Improper handling can short circuit and permanently damage
the motherboard.
Handle printed circuit boards by their opposing edges only and avoid touching the contacts on the edge of the board.
Important:
Follow standard ESD precautions while working on the internal components of the EB-34.
