Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a
long period:
- If the printer is not going to be used for an extended period
of time with the power off, wash the print heads with cleaning
packs (not included) and perform pre-storage maintenance. If you
are unable to wash the print heads with cleaning packs and perform
pre-storage maintenance, turn on the printer at least once every
seven days to automatically clean the print head and prevent the
nozzles from clogging.
- Remove any
loaded media before storing the printer to prevent the pressure
rollers from causing creases in the media, which may cause jams or
damage to the print head.
- Make sure
that the print head is in the home position before storing the
printer. If it is left away from the home position for a long time,
the print quality may decline.
- Close all
the covers on the printer to prevent dust and debris from getting
in. If the printer will be not be used for an extended period of
time, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The
print head nozzles can become clogged if fine dust gets on the
print head, and you may not be able to print properly.
- Store the
printer on a level surface; do not store it on angle, on its end,
or upside down.
