3.2.1.1 Transporting the Printer
When transporting the printer, the printhead must
be capped and stay in the carriage.
In spite of this precaution, shocks incurred during
transportation can damage the printhead.
Print the nozzle check pattern before making
preparations for transporting the printer, pint the
nozzle check pattern again after installing the
printer at the new location, and then compare the
two printouts.
If any problem such as nozzle clogging cannot be
resolved by printhead cleaning, replace the
printhead with a new one.
