Storing Your Printer

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 cartridges (not included) and perform pre-storage maintenance. If you are unable
to wash the print heads with cleaning cartridges 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.
