iR600 Static on Paper

[mrfuser]

Machine works fine, but the paper has so much static charge as it exits it sticks together!

Any idea what is causing this?


Thanks

rub fabric softener sheets on exit rollers & Exit Trays

I hang a sheet in path of finisher delivery rolls,works like a charm....thats an old trick

Sounds strange. Does ANYONE know what is causing the excess static build up? Thanks for the tips on dryer sheets.

Make sure the static eliminators are in good shape....especially one under lower fuser roll. Static eliminators....forgotten and neglected part often

Here's some info on printing problems and causes.

[teckat]

another tip/ use 100% top grade PAPER= 24lb/28lb
the more smooth the surface/less cling

do not use that recycled garbage/

also if printer is on a rug/ that is a no no
or Spray the carpet with an anti-static agent

check the neutral to ground in wall outlet= 0v
also, if u rub your hand lightly over over copy glass and fell a slight hum/vibration=u have poor machine grounding


Static electricity is generated by an unbalance of the molecular construction of relatively non-conductive insulators such as plastics and paper. All matter is composed of atoms. A balanced atom contains positive charges that are present in the nucleus of the atom. An equal amount of negative charges orbits this nucleus in the form of electrons. Both charges are equal and, therefore, the overall charge of a balanced atom is zero. However, should this configuration be disturbed and several electrons removed from this atom, we end up with a greater positive charge in the nucleus and a deficiency of electrons, which gives you an overall charge in the positive direction. Conversely, should we add a few extra electrons, we have an overall charge of negative, due to the fact that we now have an excess of electrons and the net charge is now in the negative direction

Hey teckat, I've got my hands full with copiers and customers. Now I've got to worry about atoms in the wrong place at the wrong time. This just doesn't get easier.

WE'RE always in the wrong place at the wrong time (stuff the atoms)........when we should be at the pub at the right time
