158 | Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Preparing the Printer for Shipment
1. Turn off the printer and wait until the carriage moves to the home
position (on the far right) and the P Power light goes off. Then unplug
the printer.
2. Remove the following parts:
• Power cord and interface cables
• Paper basket
• Roll paper spindle
• All paper or other media
• Optional auto take-up reel (if installed)
• Optional manual cutter (if installed)
3. Raise the ink levers.
You can choose whether to remove the ink cartridges or leave them
installed. However, you must keep the ink levers raised when
transporting the printer to prevent ink from leaking.
4. Reinstall the carriage locking bracket and screw that were removed
during setup, as shown below.
Note: It’s a good idea to
store partially used
cartridges in separate,
resealable plastic bags.
Tip: For more secure
transportation, tape all
doors and covers shut.
