Transportation

If you need to ship your printer or transport it a long distance, prepare it for transportation as described below.

Caution:
When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dry out the print head and may prevent the product from printing.

1.	Turn off the printer.

2.	Unplug all the connected cables.

3.	Remove any paper from the printer.

4.	Remove roll paper holders or single sheet guide, if installed.

5.	Lift up the printer cover and check that the ink cartridge holder is all the way to the right (the home position). If necessary, plug in and turn on the printer, then turn it off again using the  power button.

6.	Fasten the ink cartridge holder to the case using tape. Leave the ink cartridges installed to avoid damaging the printer.

Note:
Some tape may be difficult to remove if left in place for a long time. Remove the tape immediately after transporting the printer.

7.	Close the printer cover and output tray.

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

9.	Keep the product level during transportation to prevent damage.

10.	After unpacking the product, remove the tape securing the ink cartridge holder.

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