Remove the Shipping Restraints (Pedestal Model)

Protective films and foam blocks protect printer mechanisms from damage during shipment. This section describes how to remove these shipping restraints from the pedestal model before you operate the printer.

Save the foam blocks, since you may need to reinstall them.

If it is necessary to move the printer, reinstall the shipping restraints. Reverse the steps in this section.

CAUTION To avoid shipping damage, reinstall the shipping restraints whenever you move or ship the printer.
