1.12 Transportation Mode

To prepare the printer for transportation (drain ink), the user must enter the
transportation mode as follows.
1. With the printer turned on, remove all ink cartridges.
2. Turn off the printer. The printer automatically drains the ink and shows
the progress as a percent on the LCD panel.
The Paper Set lever must be in the set position; otherwise
the ink drain sequence won't execute.
When setting up again, the printer will perform an initial
ink charge.
For long distance trips where the printheads will be dry for
more than two or three days:
1. Insert six transportation fluid cartridges (1045585 x six) to
charge with fluid.
2. When the charge is finished, turn off the printer and then
remove the cartridges.
3. Properly prepare and ship the printer.
4. Set up the printer at the next location.
5. Before turning on the printer insert the six transportation
fluid cartridges and turn on the printer. It will perform a
timer cleaning.
6. Remove the cartridges and turn off the printer to drain the
transportation fluid.
7. Turn on the printer and insert six new ink cartridges to
charge the ink.
