If you need to transport your printer over a long distance, repack it using the original box and packing materials.

Make sure the printer is turned on.

Remove any cut sheet media and the rear sheet guide.


Note:

Do not remove the ink cartridges.

Close the paper guide and extensions and output tray and extensions, if open.

Make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position.

Turn off the printer.

Make sure the printer is turned off, and then unplug the power cord and interface cable.

Insert the protective materials included with the printer, tape the covers closed, and repack it carefully.

Short distances

If you need to move the printer just a short distance, do the following.

  • Remove the rear sheet guide and close any trays or extensions.

  • Turn off the printer.

  • Unplug the power cord and interface cable.

  • Ask someone to help you lift the printer. It weighs approximately 43.2 lb (19.6 kg) and should be lifted carefully by two people.

Setting up the printer after transporting it

To set up the printer after transporting it you need to follow the same steps you used to set it up the first time. Follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet, and note the following points:

  • Do not forget to remove any protective materials.

  • The first time you start printing after transporting the printer, or if you have not turned it on for a long time, the print head nozzles may be clogged. Epson recommends that you perform a nozzle check and clean the print head, and also realign the print head to ensure the best print quality.

    To clean the print head using the control panel, press the Menu button for 3 seconds.
