7. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING IN ASIA
- Procedures for Transporting the Printer for Return after Repair, etc. -
1. In the service mode, press the Power button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting
plate of the sheet feeder unit 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.) See Caution 2 below.
4. To further secure the carriage to prevent movement from the home position during transportation,
make and use a fixing tool in the following procedures:
(1) Fold an A4-sized paper 5 times, and wrap it twice with tape, as shown in Figure A below (to
prevent the fixing tool from caught into the inside of the printer).
(2) Insert the fixing tool between the carriage and the main case unit, and securely fix it with
tape, as shown in Figures B and C below.
Note: The tape should be similar to the polyester tape used at shipment, which will not easily
be torn or removed, or leave adhesive on the unit when removed.
Leave a sufficient length of tape to fix the tool so that the tape end is easily seen even
when the access cover is closed, so that the user will remove the tool from the returned
printer without fail.
Caution:
1. If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink (especially the pigment
black ink) 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.
