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:

1.Turn on the printer, and wait for the print heads to move right to the home position.

2.Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect the interface cable.

3.Open the printer cover and tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case using packing tape. Then close the printer cover.

Tape the ink cartridge holder to the printer case

Caution: Be sure to remove the tape after installing the printer in its new location.

4.Remove any paper from the printer, then remove the roll paper holder or single sheet guide, if it is installed.

5.Close the output tray and the paper support.

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 you used in step 3. Then test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see page 79); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 86).
