Transporting Your Product

If you need to store your product or transport it some distance, prepare it for transportation as described
here.
Caution: During transportation and storage, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid tilting the product, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
• When storing or transporting an ink bottle after removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not
subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle
is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take
measures to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the ink bottles.
• Do not put opened ink bottles in the box with the product.
Note: Before storing your product for a long period, replace low, expended, or expired ink to help
prevent the print head from drying out. Store your product in a cool, dry place.
1. Turn off the product.
2. Open the printer cover and check to see if the print head is in the far right position (the home
position). If not, turn on the product, wait for the print head to move to the far right, then turn the
product off again.
