1.5 PACKAGING CONSIDERATIONS
The factory-supplied shipping carton contains the Printer placed inside a protective ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) bag and suspended in form-fitting end cushions made from a
foam material. These are the only materials approved for P310 shipments. Any shipping
damage may not be covered by either the product warranty or the carrier if the printer is
shipped with packaging materials that do not meet associated shipping standards. If
necessary, order replacement factory-approved shipping materials from a P310 printer
distributor.
1.6 PREPARING A STATIC-SAFE WORK AREA
To avoid component damage while performing troubleshooting and repair procedures,
service personnel should work in a static-safe area. Items under test should rest on a
properly grounded, conductive, and cushioned mat. Service personnel should wear a
conductive wrist strap. (Most electronic supply stores carry ESD protective devices. For a
local supplier, contact 3M Corporation at 1-800-328-1368 or 512-984-1800.)
1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SHOCK PROTECTION
Avoid extremes of temperature and humidity or mishandling. These conditions can
damage most electronic equipment.
When moving the printer from a cool, dry location to a warmer, more humid location,
allow the printer to temperature stabilize for at least 30 minutes before opening the
protective ESD bag. Otherwise, moisture can condense on the surface of many
components. Moisture can degrade performance or even damage some components.
Avoid rough handling. Careful handling can avoid possible mechanical damage that
might otherwise result from dropping or impacting the printer on a hard surface.
