Transporting Your Product

If you need to store your product or transport it some distance, prepare it for transportation as described here.
Caution: During transportation and storage, follow these guidelines:
  • Avoid tilting the product, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.


  • When storing or transporting an ink bottle after it has been opened, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the ink bottles.
  • Do not put opened ink bottles in the box with the product.
  • Do not carry the product by its control panel; this may damage the product.
  1. Turn off the product.
  2. Wait until the power light turns off and then unplug the power cable.
    Caution:
    Wait until the power light is off before you unplug the power cable to allow the print head to return to the home position. If the print head does not return to the home position, the ink can dry out and your product can be damaged.
  3. Disconnect any connected cables.
  4. Remove all the paper from the product.
  5. Make sure there are no originals on the scanner.
  6. Close the document cover, if necessary.
  7. Raise the control panel.
  8. Lift up the scanner unit until it locks.


  9. Secure the print head to the case with tape.
    Note: Be sure to apply the tape as shown below, without covering the holes, or you will not be able to close the scanner unit.


  10. Close the scanner unit. For safety, the scanner unit is closed in two steps:


    Note: The scanner unit must be closed completely before it can be opened again.
  11. Make sure the ink tank caps are securely closed and close the ink tank cover.


  12. Prepare to pack the product as shown below.


  13. Place the product in its original packaging materials, if possible, or use equivalent cushioning around the product.

Be sure to remove the tape from the print head before turning on your product. If print quality has declined when you print again, clean and align the print head.
