Transporting The Printer - Epson Stylus COLOR 480SX Printer Basics 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. Follow these steps:
To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when
transporting the printer.
Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing the printer in its
new location.
1. Plug in the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position,
then unplug the printer.
2. Disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
3. Remove any paper from the printer and
remove the paper support and output tray.
4. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink
cartridge holder to the printer with tape as
shown, then close the printer cover.
5. Repack the printer and attachments in the
original box using the protective materials
that came with it.
Be sure to keep the printer level as you
transport it.
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the print head and then
print a document. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see
page 21); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 24).
