3.1.1.1 Transporting the Printer
When transporting the printer, the printhead must be capped and stay in the carriage.
In spite of this precaution, shocks incurred during transportation can damage the printhead.
Print the nozzle check pattern before making preparations for transporting the printer, pint the nozzle check
pattern again after installing the printer at the new location, and then compare the two printouts.
If any problem such as nozzle clogging cannot be resolved by printhead cleaning, replace the printhead with a
new one.
a.Moving the printer on the same floor having no step
(1) Turn off the Power button on the printer and check that the head is capped.
(2) Open the top cover and mount the belt stopper.
When mounting the belt stopper, be careful not to move the carriage by applying too much pressure to the
carriage. If the carriage moves with the head capped, the rubber part of the cap may touch the nozzles on the
head and damage the printhead.
(3) Close the upper cover.
(4) Remove the roll holder from the roll holder slot.
