4. Intermittent Banding/Improper Print
- Static discharge build-up combined with poor building grounding can cause excessive
ESD discharge, from the media as it unwinds, during long plots. This will depend on the
media type and media transport rate through the printer.
NOTE: The addition of a humidifier in the room may help correct these types of
problems.
5. Premature Cartridge Failure <700 ml
Massive cartridge jet failures may occur
prior to the standard cartridge warranty (700
ml). Static interference and electrical
discharges from media/printer to the
cartridge jet plates can cause premature
failure of internal cartridge electronics.
B. ESD Control Measures
1. Proper Power Cord & Grounding
- Only use the approved power cord, for the
specific region, as supplied with the printer. The
third prong (ground line) is required for proper
printer operations, personnel safety and circuit
protection. Only attach power cord to a 3-prong
grounded electrical receptacle (refer to section C
below).
