Transportation

If you need to ship your R3000 Series 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 product.

2.	Unplug all the connected cables.

3.	Remove any paper from the printer.

4.	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 product, then turn it off again using the  power button.

5.	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.

6.	Close the printer cover.

7.	Open the front cover, then insert the transportation lock as shown.

8.	Secure the transportation lock with tape.

9.	Close the front cover.

10.	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.

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

12.	After unpacking the product, remove the tape securing the ink cartridge holder and transportation lock, and remove the transportation lock.

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