• Tighten the Allen screw using the hexagonal screwdriver provided.
NOTE: Always secure the printer prior to transport
If you want to transport the printer, secure the printhead first so that it is not damaged.
You will also need to replace the Fluid Cartridge with an empty dummy Fluid Cartridge.
Ensure that the Cleaning-Cartridge is inserted. Otherwise, fluid can leak from the printhead
and contaminate the printer or render it unusable.
Use the original packaging when transporting or sending the printer over long distances.
The dummy Fluid Cartridge and the original packaging can also be ordered as
replacement parts (see "Ordering data" on page A-2).
NOTE: Do not move the printhead.
The Allen screw can only engage if the printhead remains in the standby position.
