Transporting the Printer
If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in
its original box or one of a similar size.
To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when
transporting the printer.
Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing the printer in its
new location.
1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head (ink cartridge holders) locks in the
far right position, then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect both the
printer cable and the power cord from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper support.
4. Open the printer cover. Secure the print
head to the printer with tape as shown, then
close the printer cover.
5. Push in the output tray.
6. Repack the printer and its attachments in the
original box using the protective materials
that came with them.
Keep the printer level as you transport it.
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the print head and test your
printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see page 23); if
output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 29).
