#1...put in a humidifier in the room with your Amaya and get it up to 40% or
so...that also helps keep thread fresh.
#2...get an electrician to make a 'dummy' wire plug-all you need is a 3 prong
plug and only the GROUND WIRE hooked up. Run the wire to any bolt on the METAL
housing of the Amaya (look around on the back) loosen up a screw or bolt, wrap
the ground wire on it, tighten it back up and plug in to your regular 'grounded
outlet' on the wall, not your power back up unit. This grounds the metal
housing better than anything. I have this on my vinyl cutter out back-static
was real bad, enough to make the computer board 'in' the cutter go nuts. Also
had to do it when I used to have a semi auto printer for posters and coroplast
signs. Static was enough to knock you on your butt. There are also 'static
proof' floor mats you get in Staples, Office Depot, etc.-that are good for your
feet and prevent static but I haven't used them.
As for dryer sheets...haven't tried it but I've heard about it. Also know
jeepers I run with that tuck them in their hats to keep mosquitoes away...so I
don't know...it's a weird world out here!
