60 Maintaining Your Printer
Transporting the Printer
If you need to move your printer some distance, you must prepare it for
transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.
Caution:
To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the
printer.
1. Open the printer cover and turn on the printer. Wait until the print head
locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the power
cord and USB cable from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the printer, then push down the paper support
extension, and close the paper support.
4. Make sure the CD/DVD tray guide is closed, then push in the output tray
extension and close the tray.
5. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to the printer with
tape, then close the printer cover.
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 49); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 57).
