Transporting The Printer - Epson Stylus Pro 5500 Printer Manual

Caution
You must remove the ink
cartridges before shipping
the printer to prevent
leakage. Remove the ink
cartridges while the
printer is turned on, and
then turn off the printer
using the Operate button.
This will properly close
and seal the ink supply
valves.
Don't turn off the printer
by unplugging it or turning
off a power strip. This will
not properly lock the print
head in the home
position, causing ink to
leak out and damage the
printer.
Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Keep the printer cover and ink cartridge compartments closed to prevent
water from getting inside.
5. If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink, wipe it off
with a damp cloth.

Transporting the Printer

If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for transportation and
repack it in the original box. You must also remove the ink cartridges, to
avoid the possibility of ink leakage. However, if you are moving the printer
only a short distance, for example, from one table to another, you don't need
to remove the cartridges.
Be sure to keep the printer level whenever you move it.
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Remove any paper in the printer and in the paper trays. Press the
button to eject any paper that has been fed into the
Eject/Continue
printer.
3. If you're shipping the printer or moving it a long distance, remove all
four of the ink cartridges. Be sure to store them in separate, resealable
plastic bags. Close the ink cartridge clamps and compartment covers.
4. Turn off the printer and make sure the print head is in the home (far
right) position, as shown below:
