Transporting the Printer
If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for
transportation by packing the printer in its original box or one
of a similar size.
Caution: When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it,
stand it up vertically, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may
leak from the cartridges.
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can
dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
1. Turn on the printer. Wait until the print head returns to
the home (far right) position, then close the printer cover.
2. Turn off the printer and unplug its power cord. Then
disconnect the power cord and USB cable from the printer.
3. Open the printer cover. Secure the print head with tape, as
shown below, then close the printer cover.
4. Remove any paper from the printer, then push down the
paper support extension and close the paper support.
5. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box
using the protective materials that came with them.
Keep the printer level as you transport it.
After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the
print head. Then plug in your printer, turn it on, and test it. If
you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see
page 10); if output is grainy or blurry, align the print head (see
page 11).
