Transporting and Storing the Printer

When you need to store the printer or transport it when moving or for repairs, follow the steps below to pack the printer.

  1. Turn off the printer by pressing the button.

  2. Make sure the power light turns off, and then unplug the power cord.

    Important:

    Unplug the power cord when the power light is off. Otherwise, the print head may not return to the home position causing the ink to dry, and printing may become impossible.

  3. Disconnect all cables such as the power cord and USB cable.

  4. Remove all of the paper from the printer.

  5. Open the printer cover. Secure the print head to the case with tape.

  6. Close the printer cover.

  7. Prepare to pack the printer as shown below.

  8. Pack the printer in its box, using the protective materials.

Important:
  • When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.

  • Do not remove the ink cartridges from the product when storing or transporting the product.

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.
