Transporting Your Printer

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

Important

  • With the FINE 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. Turn the printer off.

  2. Check that the status light is off and the touch screen is off, then unplug the power cord.

  3. Retract output tray extension and paper output tray.

  4. Retract paper support, then close the rear tray cover.

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

  6. 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.

    Close and seal the opening of the bag with an object such as tape so as not to leak ink.

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

    Important

    • Carry the printer without putting your hands on the cassette. If you hold the cassette when carrying, the cassette may come off from the printer.
