2-5. Notes on Transportation

This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning 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 rear tray is raised.
2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. See Caution (a) 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 (b) below.
Caution: a. 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.
b. 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.
Note: 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).
