￿Caution: It's very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated daughterboard or module from electrostatic damage while performing any task involving the controller board.

If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, 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 surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn't an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you perform this task.

If you don't have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components and before removing the controller board. Also avoid walking around after grounding yourself.

When you print a file, the QMS magicolor 2 DeskLaser printer driver uses the com- puter’s memory to

1Send data from the Windows display to the Spooler (a file on the disk) and then

2Compress the data and send it from the Spooler to the selected port, either parallel or Ethernet.

Some applications use hard disk storage on the computer to render the image. How- ever, in all Windows environments, if the computer runs out of memory, Windows informs you. If this happens, you have the option of allowing the printer to start printing the job while it is still being spooled rather than waiting for it to be completely spooled before starting the print process. (See “Files Fail to Print” in chapter 8, “Troubleshoot- ing” for more information.)
