Electrostatic Discharge and Your Printer Warranty
Electrostatic discharge can destroy circuit boards, such as a SIMM or 
your printer’s controller board. To prevent this, use an anti-static wrist-
band. To use an anti-static wristband, attach one end of it to your wrist 
and the other end to any convenient electrical ground (for example, 
the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of a computer, 
that is plugged in but turned off). Never attach the wrist strap to 
any piece of equipment with an electrical current present
. Turn 
off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal sur-
faces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The 
printer isn't an acceptable grounding point either because it must be 
unplugged before you remove you can access the printer’s controller 
board. 
If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body's 
static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you han-
dle any printer boards or components and before removing the con-
troller board cover. Redischarge your body each time after walking 
around and before touching the printer controller board again. Handle 
the tray carefully, and try to handle it by the edges only.
Incidental and consequential damages caused by not discharging 
electrostatic buildup can affect your printer warranty.
