Transporting Your Printer

When relocating the printer for changing your living place or repairing it, make sure of the following.

Important

  • You cannot take ink out of ink tanks.
  • Check if the tank cap is completely inserted. If the ink tank cover is not completely closed, insert the tank cap properly.
  • With the print head (cartridge) left installed in the printer, press the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the printer to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
  • Do not remove the print head (cartridge). Ink may leak.
  • When transporting the printer, pack the printer in a plastic bag so that ink does not leak.
  • Pack the printer in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport.
  • Do not tilt the printer. Ink may leak.

  • When a shipping agent is handling transport of the printer, have its box marked "THIS SIDE UP" to keep the printer with its bottom facing down. Mark also with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

  • Please handle with care and ensure the box remains flat and NOT turned upside down or on its side, as the printer may be damaged and ink in the printer may leak.

  1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

  2. Press the Setup button, use the Left Right button to select Maintenance, and press the OK button.

  3. Use the Left Right button to select Lock transport pump and then press the OK button.

  4. Use the Left Right button to select Yes and then press the OK button.

  5. Confirm that the ON lamp is off and unplug the power cord.

    Important

    • Do not unplug the printer while the ON lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction or damage to the printer, making the printer unable to print.
    • If the power cord is unplugged, the date/time settings will be reset and all documents stored in the printer's memory will be lost. Send or print a necessary document before unplugging the power cord.

  6. Retract the paper output tray and the output tray extension, then close the paper support and the document tray.

  7. Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the printer, then unplug the power cord from the printer.

  8. Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the printer to keep them from opening during transportation. Then pack the printer in the plastic bag.

  9. Attach the protective material to the printer when packing the printer in the box.
