Maintenance and Transportation

Transporting the Printer

If you want to move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation and repack it in the original box. Follow these steps:

1.Turn on the printer and wait until the print heads lock in the far right position. Then turn off the printer.

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

3.Remove any paper from the sheet feeder and remove the paper support.

4.Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.

5.Repack the printer and attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with it. See the Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer.

Be sure to keep the printer flat as you transport it. If you notice a decline in print quality after transporting the printer, clean the print heads; if output is misaligned, align the print heads. See the instructions in this chapter.
