Transporting the Printer

If you move the printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.
Caution:
When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it up vertically, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridges.
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
Plug in the printer and turn it on. Wait until the print head returns to the home position, then close the scanner unit.
Turn off the printer and unplug its power cord.
Disconnect the interface cable.
Remove all paper from the sheet feeder.
Open the scanner unit. Secure the ink cartridge holder with tape, as shown below, then close the scanner unit.
Make sure you do not to tape over the ribbon cable.
Close the feeder guard, paper support, and output tray.
Attach the protective materials to both sides of the printer.
Repack the printer and power cord in the original box.
Note:
Keep the printer level during transport.
Be sure to remove the protective materials and tape from the printer before using it again.
