Transporting Or Storing The Printer; Preparing The Printer For Shipment - Epson Stylus Pro 7800 Printer Manual

144 | Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Note: It's a good idea to
store partially used
cartridges in separate,
resealable plastic bags.

Transporting or Storing the Printer

If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in the same
building), you can roll it on its stand (see page 147). To ship the printer a
longer distance, you should repack it using the original box and packing
materials. Follow the instructions below to prepare the printer for shipment.
If you don't have the original packaging, you can purchase replacement
packaging from Epson. See page 11 for more information.
If your printer includes the EpsonNet Ethernet card, you must remove it
before shipping the printer for repairs. See page 148 for instructions.

Preparing the Printer for Shipment

1. Turn off the printer and wait until the carriage moves to the home
position (on the far right) and the P Power light goes off. Then unplug
the printer.
2. Remove the following parts:
Power cord and interface cables
•
Paper basket
•
Roll paper spindle
•
All paper or other media
•
Optional auto take-up reel (if installed)
•
Optional manual cutter (if installed)
•
Optional Ethernet card (if installed)
•
3. Raise the ink levers.
You can choose whether to remove the ink cartridges or leave them
installed. However, you must keep the ink levers raised when
transporting the printer to prevent ink from leaking.
