Maintaining and Transporting the Printer | 125
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.
5. If you saved the carriage retainer bracket, replace it and screw it back
into place. (See page 18.)
6. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
7. If you need to ship the printer, you must repack it using the original box
and packing materials and secure it to a pallet. If you do not have these
items, contact Epson to request them. Otherwise, the printer may be
damaged beyond repair.
If you are transporting the printer in your own vehicle without the
original packaging, make sure you wrap and pack the printer securely.
Transport the printer in a horizontal position on a flat, stable surface.
8. Keep the printer level while moving it.
Setting Up the Printer After Transportation
Setting up the printer after transporting it is almost identical to setting it up
for the first time, as described on page 17.
Keep in mind that the first time you start printing after moving the printer,
the print head nozzles may be clogged—especially if the printer hasn’t been
turned on for a long time. You may need to run a cleaning cycle (page 104)
and realign the print head (page 107) to ensure good print quality.
Caution: Do not turn off
the printer by unplugging
it or turning off a power
strip. You will not be able
to lock the print head, and
ink will leak out of the
reservoir, damaging the
printer.
Caution: Make sure you
release the print head by
pulling out the green tab.
