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. Follow these steps:
Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when 
transporting the printer.
Be sure to remove the tape used in step 5 after installing the printer in its new 
location.
1. Turn on the printer and wait until the print head locks in the far right position. 
Then press the P power button to turn the printer off.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
4. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper support.
5. Open the printer cover. Secure 
the ink cartridge holder to the 
printer with tape as shown, then 
close the printer cover.
6. Push in the output tray extensions 
and close the tray.
7. Repack the printer and 
attachments in the original box 
using the protective materials 
that came with it.
Be sure to keep the printer level as 
you move 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 25); if 
output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 34). 
Tape the ink 
cartridge holder to 
the printer case
