Printer Transportation Method - Canon i900D Service Manual

4. PRINTER TRANSPORTATION METHOD

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. (See Caution 1 below.)
2. Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. (See Caution 2 below.)
3. Press the Power button to turn off the printer, and secure the carriage locks in the home position.
Caution:
1. If the paper lifting plate of the sheet feeder unit is not raised and in the normal usage position (such as
when the power is turned off in the user mode) during transportation, the media sensor may be
dislocated.
2. If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink is likely to dry. For this reason,
keep the print head installed in the printer even during transportation.
3. If the carriage is not locked in the home position, the carriage may move and apply stress to the
carriage flexible cable, or cause ink leakage, during transportation.
Note:
If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, perform the following:
1. Install ink tanks and fix them with tape, etc. (to prevent the nozzles from drying).
2. 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).
