PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING THE PWBs

1. Transportation and Storage

a) During transportation or when in storage, the PWBs must not be indiscriminately removed
from their protective conductive cases or bags.
b) Protect the PWBs from any external force. Use care not to bend or damage them.
c) Once the PWB has been removed from its conductive case or bag, never place it directly on
an object that is easily charged with static electricity (carpet, plastic bags, etc.).
d) Do not touch the IC pins or printed pattern on the PWB with bare hands.
e) Do not store or place PWBs in a location exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Replacement

a) Whenever replacing the PWB, make sure that the power cord of the copier has been
unplugged.
b) Never attempt to unplug connectors from, or plug them to, the PWB when the copier remains
ON.
c) Use care not to strap pins of an IC with a metal tool.
