Precautions regarding the machine before lending, requesting repair, or transferal

If you tilt the printer or turn it on its side or upside down, ink may leak.
For this reason, when transporting the printer, to prevent the ink leakage, the ink in the printer and a certain amount of ink in the ink tanks need to be ejected into the maintenance cartridge. If the maintenance cartridge does not have the remaining capacity enough for ejected ink, you need to replace it with a new one. Replacement of the ink tanks and maintenance cartridge may be necessary at any time while the machine is processing before being transported. Prepare a plastic bag to put used consumables in beforehand. If replacement of the maintenance cartridge is not possible, printer transport preparation cannot be executed. We recommend you to prepare maintenance cartridges before executing printer transport preparation. However, the maintenance cartridge removed for printer transport preparation may still have the remaining capacity for printing. In such cases, the removed maintenance cartridge can be reinstalled for use. Taping the side covers and other parts is also required before transporting the machine. Have tape ready beforehand. When you first use the printer after executing printer transport preparation, a certain amount of ink is consumed to set up the printer for printing. This also uses the maintenance cartridge. If an error occurs indicating the amount of ink is unknown, the <Preparation for Transporting> menu cannot be run.
