How to

Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer, carefully prepare and repack it as described below using the original box (or a similar box that the printer fits snugly into) and packing materials. Follow the steps below.

Caution:

When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, put it vertically or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridge.

Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the printer head and may prevent the printer from printing.

Open the printer cover and make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position. If not, plug in the printer, wait until the print head returns to the home position, then close the printer cover and unplug the printer.

Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

Remove the paper from the sheet feeder and remove the paper support.

Open the printer cover again. Secure the ink cartridge holder to the printer with the protective material and tape as shown below, then close the printer cover.

Raise the output tray.

Attach the protective materials to both sides of the printer.

Repack the printer and power cord in the original box.

Keep the printer level during transport.

Be sure to remove the protective materials and tape from the printer before using it again.
