PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING THE PWBs

31-1. Precautions for Transportation and Storage

A. Before transporting or storing the PWBs, put them in protective conductive cases or
bags so that they are not subjected to high temperature (and they are not exposed to
direct sunlight).
B. Protect the PWBs from any external force so that they are not bent or damaged.
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 (such as a carpet or
plastic bag).
D. Do not touch the parts and printed patterns on the PWBs with bare hands.

31-2. Precautions for Replacement and Inspection

A. Whenever replacing the PWB, make sure that the power cord of the copier has been
unplugged.
B. When the power is on, the connectors must not be plugged in or unplugged.
C. Use care not to strap the pins of an IC with a metal tool.
D. When touching the PWB, wear a wrist strap and connect its cord to a securely
grounded place whenever possible. If you cannot wear a wrist strap, touch the metal
part to discharge static electricity before touching the PWB.
