Preparing the Printer for Shipment

1. Turn the printer on and remove the following parts:
All paper or other media
•
Roll paper spindle
•
Paper tray

2. If you are using the 110 ml ink cartridges, leave them installed. If you
are using 220 ml cartridges, remove them and install 110 ml cartridges.
If you have the original cartridges that came with the printer (even if
they are empty), install them before shipping the printer.
To store partially used cartridges removed from the printer, tape over
the needle valve hole and place each cartridge in a separate, resealable
plastic bag. Be sure to remove the tape before reinstalling the cartridges.
The printer must be powered on when removing or installing ink
cartridges.
3. Raise the ink levers.
4. Make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position. Then lock
the print head by pushing the green tab to the right.
