4. MACHINE TRANSPORTATION
This section describes the procedures for transporting the machine for returning after repair, etc.
1) In the service mode, press the ON/OFF button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting plate of the rear tray
is raised.
2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage.
See Caution 1 below.
3) Turn off the machine to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the machine is turned off, the carriage is
automatically locked in place.)
See Caution 2 below.
4) Slide the scanner lock switch to lock the scanner optical unit against the vibration caused during transportation.
(1) If the print head is removed from the machine and left alone by itself, ink (the pigment-based black ink in
particular) is likely to dry. For this reason, keep the print head installed in the machine even during
transportation.
(2) Securely lock the carriage in the home position, to prevent the carriage from moving and applying stress to
the carriage flexible cable, or causing ink leakage, during transportation.
If the print head must be removed from the machine and transported alone, attach the protective cap (used when the packing
was opened) to the print head (to protect the print head face from damage due to shocks).
