provide some printing challenges. Thermoplastic materials are the most
common static-laden print media. Static-prone materials tend to attract
dust and hair and release charges that can be felt and seen.

How to Activate the Static Suppression ionizing system

Procedure

1.

Press the Settings tab on the printer interface screen.

2.

Click on the Printer icon.

3.

If the Ionizer Bar option is set to Off, set it to ON (this option is not
displayed if the option is not installed). 

NOTE

Once you have set it to On, it will always automatically turn on at the
beginning of a flatbed job. Unless you use media that you are certain
does not require static reduction, there is no need to turn if Off as the bar
is only active when the printer is printing.

How to Change the Height of the Bar

The Ionizer bar is mounted by default to accommodate media up 13mm
(0.5 inches) in height. If you need to use media that has a thickness of
greater than 13mm you will have to reverse the mounting brackets. When
the brackets are reversed the maximum thickness of media that can be
used with the ionizer bar is 38mm (1.5 inches).

Procedure

1.

Turn off the printer power switch.

2.

Press down on the ionizer bar first from one end and then the other to
release the bar from all four brackets.
