Transporting the Stylus CX

If you move your EPSON Stylus CX5400 some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.

Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the EPSON Stylus CX5400. Never transport or store the Stylus CX on its side or in a tilted or upside-down position.

  1. Press the On button to turn on the Stylus CX. Wait until the scanner carriage moves to the home position (toward the left side) and the print head locks in the far right position. Then turn it off.
  2. Open the scanner lid and slide the transportation lock to the  locked position.
  3. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the USB cable.
  4. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder and output tray, then remove the paper support and feeder guard.
  5. Close the output tray and its extension.
  6. Lift up the scanner.
  7. Tape the ink cartridge holder to the EPSON Stylus CX5400 case.



    8. Caution: Be sure to remove the tape after installing the EPSON Stylus CX5400 in its new location.

  8. Close the scanner carefully until it clicks back into place, then close the output tray.
  9. Repack the EPSON Stylus CX5400 and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with them.

Keep the EPSON Stylus CX5400 level as you transport it.

After transporting the EPSON Stylus CX5400, remove the tape securing the print head, unlock the transportation lock, and make a test copy. If you notice a decline in quality, clean the print head (see Cleaning the Print Head); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see Aligning the Print Head).
