Shipping or Transporting the M1 Printer
If you have to ship or transport the Printer for any reason, the unit will have to be prepared. Once the
Printer is prepared, carefully package the Printer, Printhead Cartridge, Maintenance Station and Ink Tanks
in their original packaging.

Printer User Control Screen and pressing "System Deprime" or by using the Service Tab in the
