Packing and shipping 
the machine
A
When you transport the machine, use the 
packing materials that came with your 
machine. Follow the instructions below to 
properly pack your machine. Damage caused 
to your machine during transit is not covered 
by your warranty.
It is important to allow the machine to 
“park” the print head after a print job. 
Listen carefully to the machine before 
unplugging it to make sure that all 
mechanical noise has stopped. Not 
allowing the machine to finish this parking 
process may lead to print problems and 
possible damage to the print head.
 
a Open the ink cartridge cover.
b Remove all four ink cartridges. Press 
the ink release lever above each 
cartridge to release it.
(See Replacing the ink cartridges in 
appendix A in the Basic User’s Guide.)
c Install the green protective part and then 
close the ink cartridge cover.
 
• Make sure that the plastic tabs on both 
sides of the green protective part (1) have 
securely clicked into place (2).
• If you are not able to find the green 
protective part, DO NOT remove the ink 
cartridges before shipping. It is essential 
that the machine be shipped with either 
the green protective part or the ink 
cartridges in position. Shipping without 
them will cause damage to your machine 
and may void your warranty.
