Turn off the printer by pressing the 
button.
Make sure the power light turns off, and then unplug the power cord.

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.
Close the document cover if it is open.
Open the printer cover. Secure the print head to the case with tape.

Pack the printer in its box using the protective materials.
When storing or transporting the printer, place the printer in the plastic bag and fold it closed. Avoid tilting the printer, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
When lifting the printer, place your hands in the positions shown below.
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, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
Do not put opened ink bottles in the box with printer.
When you use the printer again, make sure you remove the tape securing the print head. If print quality has declined the next time you print, clean and align the print head.
