Packing and shipping the machine

When you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine. Follow the instructions below to properly pack your machine. Damage caused to your machine during transit is not covered by your warranty.

CAUTION

It is important to allow the machine to ‘park’ the print head after a print job. Listen carefully to the machine before unplugging it to make sure that all mechanical noise has stopped. Not allowing the machine to finish this parking process may lead to print problems and possible damage to the print head.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.

b Press the lock release lever to release the ink cartridge and take out all the ink cartridges. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 109.)

c Install the green protective part, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

If you are not able to find the green protective part, DO NOT remove the ink cartridges before shipping. It is essential that the machine be shipped with either the green protective part or the ink cartridges in position. Shipping without them will cause damage to your machine and may void your warranty. When travelling with the ink cartridges still in the machine please keep the machine upright as this will protect the machine from leakage.

d Unplug the machine from the telephone wall socket and take the telephone line cord out of the machine.

e Unplug the machine from the electrical socket.

f Using both hands, use the plastic tabs on both sides of the machine to lift the scanner cover until it locks securely into

the open position. Then unplug the B interface cable from the machine, if it is connected.
