Maintaining Your Printer
Transporting the Printer
If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in
its original box or one of a similar size.
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. Secure the ink
cartridge holder to the printer with tape as
shown, then close the printer cover.
Caution: Be sure to remove the tape 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 27); if
output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 34).
