Precautions for Safe Transport of the Printer

When relocating the printer, make sure of the following.

Important

  • Pack the printer in a sturdy box, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport.
  • With the print head and ink tank 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 transport or store the printer with the front of printer (the paper output slot cover side) down as shown below.

  • Before shipping the printer by a delivery service:

    • Tape the lid of the box securely with strong tape.
    • Clearly label the box as "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

  1. Turn the printer off.

  2. Confirm that the POWER lamp is off and unplug the power cord.

    Important

    • Do not unplug the printer while the POWER lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction or damage to the printer, making the printer unable to print.

  3. Retract the paper support, then close the rear tray cover and paper output slot cover.

  4. Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the printer, then unplug the universal AC adapter from the printer.

    When the battery is not used for a long period of time (6 months or longer), remove the battery from the printer. For details on how to remove the battery, refer to the battery's instruction manual.

  5. 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.

  6. Attach the protective material to both sides of the printer when packing the printer in the box.
