Epson 4880 manual Transporting the Printer, Preparing the printer for shipment

Transporting the Printer

If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in the same building), raise the ink levers and have at least two people lift the printer.

To ship the printer, you must repack it using the original box and packing materials and secure it to a pallet. If you do not have these items, contact Epson to request them. Otherwise, the printer may be damaged beyond repair.

Note:

Ask someone to help you lift the printer. It weighs approximately 110.3 lb (50 kg) and should be lifted carefully by two people.

Preparing the printer for shipment

1.Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.

2.Remove the following parts.

❏All paper or other media

❏Roll paper spindle

❏Paper tray and paper tray cover

3.If you are using the 110 ml ink cartridges, leave them installed. If you are using 220 ml cartridges, remove them and install 110 ml cartridges.

To store partially used cartridges removed from the printer, tape over the needle valve hole and place each cartridge in a separate, resealable plastic bag. Be sure to remove the tape before reinstalling the cartridges. The printer must be powered on when removing or installing ink cartridges.
