Packing and shipping the MFC

Whenever you transport the MFC, use the packing materials that came with your MFC. If you do not pack the MFC properly, you could void your warranty.

Caution

It is important to allow the MFC to ‘park’ the print head after a print job. Listen carefully to the MFC before disconnecting it from the power source to ensure that all mechanical noise has stopped. Not allowing the MFC to complete this parking process may lead to print problems and possible damage to the print head.

1 Lift the scanner cover from the right-hand side of the MFC until it locks securely into the open position.

2 Remove all the ink cartridges and attach the protective parts. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 11-25.)

When attaching the protective parts,

make sure it clips into place as shown in the diagram.

Caution

If you are not able to find the protective parts, do NOT remove the ink cartridges before shipping. It is essential that the MFC be shipped with either the protective parts or the ink cartridges in position. Shipping without them will cause damage to your MFC and may void your warranty.
