Moving the Carriage Unit

While the machine is idle, the carriage unit always resides on the right side of the machine where the

maintenance unit caps cover the print heads to prevent them from drying out. However, some

maintenance procedures require uncapping the print heads and then moving the carriage unit to the

center of the platen, or to the far left side of the platen.

Using SP2-102-004 (Maintenance Unit Exchange: Decapping) is the best way to move the carriage

unit, but you can also uncap the print heads and move the carriage unit manually. For example, you

may need to move the carriage out of the home position manually when you already have the machine

partially disassembled and realize that you must move the carriage unit.

There may be occasions when you need to return the maintenance unit to the home position manually to

prevent the print heads from drying out.

• If the machine is partially disassembled at the end of the work day, the print heads should be

capped manually before leaving the machine to sit for more than an hour.

• If the machine was operating when a power outage occurred, leaving the carriage unit out of the

home position, you will need to cap the print heads if power cannot be restored within a short time.

Before you turn the machine off for a service procedure that requires that the carriage be out of the

home position.
