Figure 9.9-1: It is important to place the Table and Carriage Retainer before Transport.
Move the printer carefully (four people are required). Keep the printer horizontal. Only move
the printer on its side when moving through a doorway.
When you reach the new destination, make certain the printer is placed on a stable, sturdy and
level table. Make sure the printer is level using a “torpedo level” as described in Chapter 2:
Startup of a New Printer, Section 4: Setting up the Printer.
Make sure that the environment of the new location meets to the printer’s requirements. See
Chapter 1: Product Information, Section 2. Operation Environment Requirements.
Short Distance Move
A short distance move involves moving the printer by a vehicle under your supervision, the actual travel
time should not take more than an hour or two.
If traveling through a high temperature or very low humidity area, or if there is a large altitude
change, replace all of the ink with Cleaning Solution. (See Section 9.5 of this chapter).
If you are moving the printer in the original printer box replace all of the ink with Cleaning
Solution. (See Section 9.6 of this chapter). This is necessary because the cartridges must be
removed for the printer to fit into the box.
Drain the Waste Ink Tank. (See Section 9.6 of this chapter)
Keep the ink cartridges in place. Do not leave the printer without the ink cartridges or Cleaning
Solution in place. Otherwise replace ink with Cleaning Solution. (See Section 9.5 of this chapter)
At the new destination, replace the ink if needed. (See Section 9.5 of this chapter) and check the
printer performance. Perform a Print Head Nozzle Check and clean the Print Head as needed to
restore good ink flow. (See Chapter 2 Startup of a New Printer, Section 7. Performing a Nozzle
Check) Leaving the printer for a long time without restoring good ink flow may cause difficulties
with the ink flow later.
