Transporting the Printer

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation and
repack it in its original box as follows:
1. Turn on the printer and wait until the print head locks in the far right position.
Then turn off the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord, then disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper support.
4. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.
5. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box using the protective
materials that came with it. See the unpacking sheet that was packed with your
printer.
Be sure to keep the printer level as you transport it. If you notice a decline in print
quality after transporting the printer, clean the print head (see page 27); if output is
misaligned, align the print head (see page 35).
