1.7.2.3 Handling the Printer

1. Precautions against static electricity
Certain clothing may generate static electricity, causing an electrical charge to build up on your body. Such a charge can damage electrical devices.
In particular, never touch the printhead contacts [1].
2. Fixing the carriage
After printing, the carriage caps the printhead and uses the lock arm inside the purge unit to apply a mechanical lock.
When transporting the printer, use belt stoppers [1] to secure the carriage at the carriage home position so that the carriage does not become separated from
the lock arm. This will prevent damage and ink leakage during transportation.
