5. TRANSPORTATION

This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning after repair, etc.
(1) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. [See NOT E (1) on the next page.]
(2) Turn off the printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned
off, the carriage is automatically locked in place.) [See NOTE (2) on the next page.]
(3) To further secure the carriage to prevent movement from the home position during transportation,
make and use a fixing tool in the following procedures:
(a). Fold an A4-sized paper 5 times, and wrap it twice with tape, as shown in Figure A below (to
prevent the fixing tool from caught into the inside of the printer).
(b). Insert the fixing tool between the carriage and the middle flame unit, and securely fix it with
tape, as shown in Figures B and C below.
Note: The tape should be similar to the polyester tape used at shipment, which will not easily be torn or
removed, or leave adhesive on the unit when removed.
Leave a sufficient length of tape to fix the tool so that the tape end is easily seen even when the
access cover is closed, so that the user will remove the tool from the returned printer without fail.

Before the machine is powered on, remove this tape and the stuff at the end of the tape (the fixing
tool on the cartridge).
