40. Charging Electrode
The charging electrode is an electrode that charges the ink drops
as they leave the nozzle.
41. Ground Electrode
Positioned directly opposite the high voltage deflection electrode,
the ground electrode acts as the lower electrode (where, the high
voltage deflection electrode is the upper electrode). Refer to High
voltage deflection electrode in 3-17 for further information.
