Maintaining and Transporting the Printer 6-15

9. Repack the printer, paper tray, and any other parts in the original boxes.

Remember to keep the printer level during transport.

To set up the printer after transporting it, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, except:

•Turn off the printer before reinstalling the cartridges, if you removed them before transporting the printer. It is best to install new cartridges because your printer’s ink counter will be reset and able to report the remaining ink level accurately.

•The first time you print after transporting the printer, the print head nozzles may be clogged. You may need to run a cleaning cycle, as described on page 6-1.
