Transporting the Printer
If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or a similar one. Follow these steps:
Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the printer.
1.Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer.
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. If you still have the packing insert, slide it down into the area beside the ink cartridge holder and tape it to the printer case. If you don’t have the insert, just tape the cartridge holder to the printer case. Then close the printer cover.

Caution: Be sure to remove the tape and insert after installing the printer in its new location.
5.Push in the output tray extension and close the tray.
6.Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with them.
Keep the printer level as you transport it.
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 33); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 39).
