Maintenance and Transportation
Caution:
If you don't follow the
procedures in this
section, ink will leak
when you transport the
printer.
However, if you are
moving your printer a
short distance, for
example, from one table
to another, you don't
need to remove the ink
cartridges. Be sure to
keep the printer level
when you move it.
4. Turn off the printer and make sure the print heads are in
the home (far right) position. If they are not, turn the
printer back on, wait until they stop moving and are in the
home position, then turn off the printer.
5. Wait until the printer stops making noise and any lights
stop flashing, then unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and disconnect the interface cable from the
printer.
6. Remove the paper from all the feeders.
7. Remove the edge guides and banner paper cover.
8. Remove the paper tray and paper tray cover.
9. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with it. See the
Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer.
Be sure to keep the printer level in an upright position as you
transport it.
If you reinstall the cartridges that were removed in step 2, the
ink sensor will not correctly indicate the amount of ink in the
cartridges. You may run out of ink before the
flash or come on. If you want the ink sensor to work properly,
you need to install new ink cartridges. See page 5-4 for
instructions.
If you notice a decline in print quality after transporting the
printer, clean the print heads; if output is misaligned, align the
print heads. See the instructions earlier in this chapter.
