Kodak 1200I manual Intermittent Banding/Improper Print, Proper Power Cord & Grounding

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

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).
