Transporting the Printer

If you need to transport your printer, follow these steps:
1. Open the printer cover and make sure that the print heads
are locked in the far right position. If they aren't, turn on
the printer, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it off. Close the
printer cover.
2. Remove the black ink cartridge and store it separately in a
plastic bag. See "Replacing the Black Ink Cartridge" earlier
in this chapter.
Caution:
c
If you installed the optional color print head and ink
cartridge, do not remove the color ink cartridge when
transporting the printer. Transporting the printer without
the color ink cartridge installed can damage the printer.
3. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
4. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
