When you need to store the printer or transport it when moving or for repairs, follow the steps below to pack the printer.
Turn off the printer by pressing the 
button.
Make sure the power light turns off, and then unplug the power cord.
Unplug the power cord when the power light is off. Otherwise, the print head will not return to the home position, which can cause the ink to dry and make printing impossible.
Disconnect all cables such as the power cord and USB cable.
Remove all of the paper from the printer.
Make sure there are no originals on the printer.
Open the scanner unit until it clicks.
Make sure the ink tank caps are closed securely.
Close the scanner unit.
For safety, the scanner unit is closed in two steps.
The scanner unit must be closed completely before it can be opened again.
Prepare the printer for transport as shown below.
Place the printer in a plastic bag and seal the bag.
Pack the printer in its box using protective materials.
When storing or transporting the printer, place the printer in the plastic bag and seal the bag. Avoid tilting the printer, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the bottle, such as putting the bottle in a bag.
Do not put opened ink bottles in the box with printer.
If print quality has declined the next time you print, adjust the print quality. See the related information below for details.
