Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer some distance, carefully repack it using the original box and packing materials as follows:

1.Open the printer cover and make sure that the print head is capped in the far right position. If the print head is not capped, turn on the printer to cap it. Then turn off the printer.

Caution:

c Transporting the printer without the cartridges installed can damage the printer.

2.Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3.Remove the paper from the sheet feeder.

4.Attach the protective material to the printer. See the Notice Sheet that came in the box.

5.Repack the printer in the original box.

6.Keep the printer flat in the box during transport.

If the printed image is faint, has gaps, or nothing prints when you first use the printer after transport, clean the print heads. See “Cleaning the Print Heads” earlier in this chapter. If the printed image is misaligned, calibrate the printer as described in Chapter 1, “Setting Up.”
