Machine Transportation; Appropriate Cis Unit Position At Transportation - Canon MX700 Service Manual

MX700

4. MACHINE TRANSPORTATION

This section describes the procedures for transporting the machine for returning after repair, etc.
1) Be sure to transport the machine after moving the CIS unit (Scanner Carriage Unit) to the appropriate position. If the
machine whose CIS unit is in the home position (inappropriate position) is vibrated or dropped when it is transported, the
scanner flat cable may be jammed/damaged and the scanner may become out of work.
<Procedure>
After finishing the service mode correctly, the CIS unit automatically moves to the appropriate position.

2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage.
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.
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.)
This is 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).
