Caution: To prevent the
nozzles from drying out,
do not remove the ink
cartridges. To prevent
printer damage, be careful
not to touch the cables
around the print head and
the black areas inside the
printer.
Tip: For more secure
transportation, tape all
doors and covers shut.

Transporting or Storing the Printer

If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in the same
building), you can roll it on its stand (see page 142). To ship the printer a
longer distance, you should repack it using the original box and packing
materials. Follow the instructions below to prepare the printer for shipment.

Preparing the Printer for Shipment

1. Make sure the paper lever is in the secured position and the print head is
in the home position (on the far right). This caps the print head and
prevents it from drying out.
2. Press the P Power button to turn off the printer.
3. Remove the following parts:
Power cord and interface cables
•
Roll paper spindle
•
All paper or other media
•
Auto take-up reel
•
Optional fabric-based media bin (if installed)
•
4. Reinstall the two metal brackets and bolts that were removed during
setup, as shown below. Tighten the bolts to lock the print head.
