The service representatives must complete an authorized Datacard training
course prior to servicing the printers.
Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge
While working around control boards and other sensitive components, use
proper equipment and procedures to reduce the possibility of damaging the
components. This section describes the procedure for protecting against damage
due to electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: Static electricity can destroy components on a circuit board. Use
the following precautions when handling the board, its components, or tools
in contact with the board or its components.
Tools Required:
Static-grounding kit (Part Number: TUL006-006) containing:
• Static-grounding mat
• Mat-grounding cable
• Static-grounding wrist strap
• Wrist strap grounding cable
• Grounding plug
Procedure:
1. Wear appropriate clothing. Avoid wool and synthetic fabrics.
2. Remove movable carpet and rugs.
3. Apply the grounding strap to a wrist. Ensure that there is no clothing
between the strap and skin and that the strap is snug enough to maintain
contact with the skin.
4. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the wrist strap.
5. Using the grounding plug, connect the other end of the grounding cable to
the earth ground of a facility AC outlet.
6. Clear a work area, lay the static-grounding mat on the work area, and
connect the movable end of the long grounding cable to the mat.
7. Always set unshielded static-sensitive materials on the grounded anti-static
mat. Whenever possible, place components into static-shielded bags.
8. When bringing two objects into contact (tool to circuit board or board to mat),
first simultaneously touch both objects with fingers.
