Canon : PIXMA Manuals : MX720 series : Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine

When relocating the machine, make sure of the following.

Important

When sending the machine for repair

Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport.

With the print head and ink tank left installed in the machine, press the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.

After packing, do not tilt the box containing the machine or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so may cause the ink to leak during transport and cause damage to the machine.

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

Turn the machine off.

Confirm that all the lamps on the operation panel are off and unplug the machine.

Notice for Unplugging the Power Cord

Important

Do not unplug the machine while any lamp on the operation panel is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction or damage to the machine, making the machine unable to print.

Retract the paper output support, then close the paper output tray gently.

The output tray extension is retracted automatically when the paper output tray is closed.

Disconnect the printer cable from the computer and from the machine, then disconnect the power plug from the machine.

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

Attach the protective material to the machine when packing the machine in the box.
