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. Follow the instructions on page 5-26.
To ship the printer, you should repack it using the original box and packing
materials. Follow the instructions below to prepare the printer for shipment.
If you need to store your printer for an extended period (two years for the
Photographic Dye ink model, or six months for the Archival Ink or
UltraChrome ink model), contact EPSON for assistance (see page 3 for
contact information). A service technician must drain all ink from the
printer before storage.
Preparing the Printer for Shipment
Follow the steps below to prepare the printer for shipment:
1. Contact EPSON as described on page 3. A service technician must drain
all the ink from the printer before it can be shipped.
2. Once the ink is drained, turn off the printer and wait until the print
head moves to the home position (on the far right) and the
Operate
light goes off. Then unplug the printer.
3. Reinstall the carriage locking screw that was removed during setup. See
page 1-7.
4. Remove the following parts:
•
Power cord and interface cables
•
Paper basket
•
Roll paper spindles
•
All paper or other media
•
Optional auto take-up reel (if installed)
•
Optional manual cutter (if installed)
TIP
It’s a good idea to store
partially used cartridges
in separate, resealable
plastic bags.
