Old Toshiba Doc feeders (RDF's) where notorious for static build up on the platen glass, which caused the doc feed to jamb originals when feeding. The glass even had static discharge straps glued to the glass platen, but the static straps still did not fix the HV static problem.
To solve the problem we demonstrated the original jamming static fault to the customer buy sliding a sheet of paper over the platen glass. The original sheet would stop like it was stuck with glue to the glass platen.
To discharge the static off the platen glass we would spray Mr-Sheen wax and polish from a pressure pack can.
The wax in the spray would allow the HV static to reach the discharge strap at the lead edge of the platen glass, an no more static build up on the glass. After we sprayed Mr sheen on the platen glass the original document page would skate completely across the copier glass top onto the office floor.
After demonstrating the above to the customer, we would tell them to buy a can of Mr Sheen and spray the platen glass at regular intervals. Increase the Mr-Sheen application more so during the winter months when people wear woollen jumpers and coats that produce HV static on the copier glass.
