Transporting The Printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300 Series User Manual

Transporting the Printer

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its
original box or one of a similar size.
Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when
transporting the printer.
1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off
the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the printer cable from
the printer.
3. Remove any memory cards from the printer and close the memory card cover.
4. Remove any paper from the printer, push down the paper support extension, and close
the paper support.
5. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to the printer with tape as shown,
then close the printer cover.
6. Make sure the CD/DVD tray guide is closed, then push in the output tray extension and
close the output tray.
7. If your printer has a preview monitor, disconnect the cable from the printer and lift the
monitor off of the printer.
8. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials
that came with them. See your Start Here sheet.
Keep the printer level as you transport it. After transporting the printer, remove the tape
securing the print head and test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the
print head (see page 88); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 93).
