Transportation

If you need to ship your printer or transport it a long distance, prepare it for transportation as follows:

1.	Open the document cover and check that the print head is all the way to the right (the home position). If not, turn on the printer.

2.	Turn off the printer.

3.	Unplug all the connected cables.

4.	Remove all the paper.

5.	Open the document cover, then open the ink cartridge cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder with tape, as shown below.

6.	Close the ink cartridge cover, then close the document cover.

7.	Close the paper support and close the output tray.

8.	Pack the printer in its original box or one of a similar size using protective material to keep it from moving inside the box.

9.	Keep the printer level during transportation.

If print quality has declined when you print again in a new location, clean and align the print head.

Note:
Be sure to remove the tape inside the printer and any protective materials before you print.
