Printer Transportation - Canon iP4200 - PIXMA Photo Printer Service Manual

4. PRINTER 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
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.]
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.
Memo:
If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, perform the following:
(1) 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).
