Transporting the Printer
If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size. Follow these steps:
Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the printer.
Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing the printer in its new location.
1.Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn the printer off.
2.Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
3.Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper support.
4.Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to the printer with tape as
shown, then close the printer cover.
5. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
6. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with it. See the Start Here sheet for details.
Keep the printer level as you transport it.
Tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the print head and test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see page 37); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 43).
