92 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.
Follow these steps:
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.
5. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
6. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials
that came with them. See your Start Here sheet.
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 84); if output is
misaligned, align the print head (see page 89).
