6. PRINTER TRANSPORTATION

This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning after repair, etc.
1) In the service mode, press the ON 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 printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned off, the
carriage is automatically locked in place. DO NOT disconnect the power cord from the outlet until the
carriage is locked in place.)
See Caution 2 below.
(1) If the print head is removed from the printer 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 printer 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. Make sure that the carriage is locked in place at power-off.
- If the print head must be removed from the printer 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).
