Repacking the Printer166

Attention
Never lift a printer with the fuser oil bottle installed. To avoid toner
contamination during shipment, leave the OPC belt cartridge installed.
MINOLTA-QMS cannot be held responsible for damage to your printer
during shipment that results from the improper packaging of your
printer. You must use the instructions given in this section before
repacking the printer in its original shipping carton with the original
packing materials. Original shipping cartons are secured to a pallet
using disposable strapping and buckling supplies. These supplies must
be replaced prior to shipping the printer. If you need replacement
packaging, in the United States, call MINOLTA-QMS Spares at (251)
633-4300 extension 2530 and request catalog number 2600439-500. For
locations outside the United States, refer to the
Service & Support
Guide
or www.minolta-qms.com. If you return the printer for service, be
sure to write the RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number you
received from your customer support representative on the outside of
the carton before shipping the printer.
If the printer is not strapped to the pallet or if the RMA number is not
prominently
visible on the outside of the return inventory, we will not
accept receipt. You can also have a MINOLTA-QMS authorized service
provider uninstall and repack your printer. For prices and availability,
call 1 (877) 778-2657.
