damage from occurring to the printer:

Make sure you turn o the printer by pressing (the Power button). Wait until all sounds of
internal motion stop before unplugging the printer.

Make sure you leave the cartridges installed.

The printer must be transported sitting at; it should not be placed on its side, back, front, or top.

cartridge slot empty exposes the printhead to the air, and can result in print quality issues or printhead
damage. Never turn the printer o while an ink cartridge is missing.
