6-6 Maintenance
sensitive electronic components, then the ensuing discharge can and will
damage that equipment. The ESD damage is permanent.
Static discharge may simply cause electronic equipment, such as the
printer, to lock up or behave erratically. Turning power off and on again
may solve the immediate problem. But the damage in some way or
another is permanent and can cause diminished performance.
Use the following guidelines to protect the printer (and other electronic
equipment) from ESD:
•
Because low relative humidity tends to encourage static buildup, prefer
to keep the relative humidity in the printer room above 40%.
In general, since warmer environments tend to have higher relative
humidity levels, prefer a warmer room to a colder one.
•
Store paper at the same temperature and humidity levels of the printer,
or allow paper to acclimate overnight before loading that paper in the
printer to avoid static problems caused by overly dry paper.
Besides encouraging static electricity, an overly dry location robs paper
of its built-in moisture content. (Typically, 5% of paper weight is
water.) When paper loses this built-in moisture, it curls.
•
If the site has carpeting, consider using an anti-static spray on the area
surrounding the printer (and stacker), or place an anti-static mat under
the printer and stacker.
Wool is notorious for causing static buildup, as are many synthetic
carpeting materials. If you use an anti-static spray on the carpet, do not
spray the printer, the paper, or the stacker.
Even the contact of the paper against the control cable at the rear of the
printer can cause static transfer from the paper to the cable and back to
