Moving the Printer

Caution

Parts of the printer may be hot. To avoid personal injury or damage to the printer, allow 30 minutes for it to cool before moving or packing the printer. This allows the ink to solidify.

■Always allow the printer to cool before it is moved to avoid ink spills which can damage the printer.

■Use the Fast Shutdown mode at the front panel (Shut Down for Moving Printer) for best results.

■Never move the printer if you receive a Power Down Error-Head not Parked message at the printer’s front panel. This message means the printer is not ready to be moved. If the printhead is not locked, the printer can be damaged during shipment.

■Always look at the green flag in the exit tray to ensure that it is in the raised position. When the green flag is raised the printhead is locked.
