Transporting the Printer
Caution:
If you don’t follow the procedures in this section, ink
will leak when you transport the printer.
However, if you are moving your printer a short
distance, for example, from one table to another, you
don’t need to remove the ink cartridges. Be sure to
keep the printer level when you move it.
If you want to ship your printer, you need to prepare it for
transportation and repack it in the original box. Follow these
steps:
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Remove all four of the ink cartridges and store them in
separate plastic bags.
3. Close the ink compartment door.
4. Turn off the printer and make sure the print heads are in
the home (far right) position. If they are not, turn the
printer back on, wait until they stop moving and are in the
home position, then turn off the printer.
5. Wait until the printer stops making noise and all the lights
stop flashing, then unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and disconnect the interface cable from the
printer.
6. Remove the paper from all the feeders.
7. Remove the edge guides and banner paper cover.
8. Remove the paper tray and paper tray cover.
9. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with it. See the
Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer.
Be sure to keep the printer level in an upright position as you
transport it.
If you reinstall the cartridges that were removed in step 2, the
ink sensor will not correctly indicate the amount of ink in the
cartridges. You may run out of ink before the
Ink Out lights
comes on. If you want the ink sensor to work properly, you
need to install new ink cartridges. See page 9 for instructions.
