ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
OVERVIEW
ESD—electrostatic discharge—is a primary source of:
·product downtime
·lost productivity
·costly repairs.
While we cannot even feel a static charge of less than 3,500 volts, a s few as 30 volts can
damage or destroy essential components in t he electronic eq uipment upon which you rely. As
technology continues to advance, these advanced components will be even more vulnerable
to ESD destruction. The conclusion is clear. To tak e charge of p roductivity and p rofitability,
you must take care of ESD, now. Effective ESD control requires the following things.
AWARENESS
Everyone in your organisa tion needs to b e aware of ESD , because p artial ESD control is no
ESD control at all. Ev eryone needs to remember that:
·ESD is a primary source of frustrating equipment failures and intermittent malfunc tions.
ESD affects productivity and profitability.
ESD can be co ntrolled.
ACTION
To take charge of ESD , you must take action. And that mean s everyone from senior
management to the evening security crew.
If you repair and maintain electronic equipment, it means always w earing grounding straps
and working at ESD- protected sites.
If you ever work around electronic eq uipment, it means keeping static gener ators like plas tic
trash bags away from sensitive components.
For everyone, taking charge of ESD means maling the simple ESD controls a way of life.
(See the following sec tions for sp ecial tips).
EFFECTIVE ESD CONTROL IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY.
EVERY DAY
1. Put trash in its place. A nd that place is away from static-sensitive equipment. Plastic
materials, like trashcan liners and plastic foam cups, generate t he static elec tricity that
damages or destroys e lectronic components .
2. Look for the label. Static-sensitive components are marked with bright graphic labels. Look
for these labels. Follow label directions.
3. Sp ray the carpe t. ESD that is generated when yo u walk over ca rpet is a ma jor culprit in
component destruction. In some cases, especially in low-humidity environments, you may
need to periodically spray carpets with an anti-static preparation, available at loca l stores.

SM 3058-6ESD
DURING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
·Wear a grounding strap when you deal with static -sensitive components . Always mak e
certain that the clip is attached to a properly grounded, unpainted surface.
·Use a portable grounding mat if you cannot r epair components at an ESD-protected
workstation. (Kodak’s Customer Equipment Services Division can assist you in setting up
ESD-protected workstations .)
·Use protective pack aging when y ou transport components from one area to another.
Transparent anti static bags , available from a variety of manufactures , shield your
just-repaired components from further damage.
SAFETY WARNINGS
·BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING IN THE CASSETTE OPENER AREA. THE OPENER
MOTOR AND THE OPENER MECHANISM ARE VERY STRONG. THEY CANNOT BE
MOVED MANUALLY. THEY MAY SQUEEZE YOUR HAND AND TRAP YOU IF YOU TRY
TO STOP THEM MANUALLY. NEVER START THE CASSETTE OPENER MOTOR WHEN
SOMEONE’S HANDS ARE IN THE CASSETTE AREA.
·DISCONNECT THE POWER WHEN TAKING OUT OR INSTALLING THE POWER
SUPPLY. IT IS POSSIBLE TO TOUCH THE MAINS VOLTAGE.
·IF YOU TAKE OUT SAFETY COVERS OR WIRE TIES TO HAVE EASIER ACCESS TO
PARTS, INSTALL THEM B EFORE YOU MOUNT THE SIDE PANELS WHEN THE
SERVICE CALL OR THE PM IS FINISHED.
·BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING ON CIRCUIT BOARDS A4 AND A8. THERE ARE 120
VAC ON THOSE BOARDS. BE ESPECIALLY CARE FUL WHEN MEASURING ON THE
REAR SIDE OF THE CIRCUIT BOARDS OR WHE N A4 IS PIVOTED OUT OR A8 IS
PIVOTED UP. AN ELECTRIC SHOCK MAY RESULT.
·WHEN WORKING IN THE AREA OF PCB A4, COVER THE VENTING HOLE AT THE
TOP OF THE POWER SUPPLY SO THAT NOTHING MAY FALL INTO IT. TAKE THIS
COVER OFF BEFORE MOUNTING THE SIDE PANELS TO AVOID OVERHEATING OF
THE SYSTEM.

SENSORS and DAYLIGHT
The SENSORS are s ensitive to daylight and to room light. This can result in wrong
measurements when you do an adjustment, or a SENSOR becomes triggered and the ML300
tries to bring the various units to HOME POSITION. For this reason dim the light or cover the
SENSORS when yo u do the a djustments. Th is is espec ially important whe n you meas ure the
output voltage of a SENSOR.

CASSETTE TYPE 2 SENSORS. (B21 and B22).
Purpose
This adjustment ensures t hat both TYPE 2 SENSORS recognise the TYPE 2 STICKE R on the
CASSETTE. If the SENSORS are not adjusted correctly a normal CASSETTE may be
detected as a TYPE 2 CASSETTE.
Note
·This adjustment is only possible if PCB A8 carries the INDEX B. This I NDEX is printed a t
the bottom right corner (after the number) of th e PCB. P CB’s with the IN DEX A do not
have the necessary potentiometers. These PCBs w ere only used on the very first
XML300s.
·Avoid bright sunlight. It may cause wrong results when you measure the output voltage of
SENSORS B21 and B22.
1.Take off the TOP-, REAR-, and RIGHT-HAND PANEL of the XML300.
2.Manually feed in a CASSETTE with 2 TYPE 2 reflective STICKERS and centre it.
This ensures that the TYP E 2 SENS ORS B21 and B22 are correct at the TYPE 2
