88 Maintaining Your Printer
Transporting the Printer
If you move your printer some distance, you need to remove the ink cartridges and
prepare it for transportation in its original box or a similar one. Follow these steps:
1. Turn on the printer and press the H ink button to move the ink cartridges into
loading position.
2. Follow the steps on page 83 to open the ink cartridge cover and remove all of the
ink cartridges. Pack each cartridge separately in a sealable plastic bag.
3. Close the cartridge cover and press the H ink button. The red H ink light comes
on. Wait until the ink cartridge holder locks in the far right position.
4. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
5. Open the printer cover and tape
the ink cartridge holder to the
printer case using packing tape.
Then close the printer cover.
Caution: Be sure to remove the
tape after installing the printer in
its new location.
6. Remove any paper from the
printer, then remove the roll
paper holder, if it is installed.
7. Close the output tray and the paper support.
8. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box using the protective
materials that came with them.
9. Keep the printer level as you transport it.
10. After transporting the printer, remove all the tape and replace your ink cartridges,
as described on page 80.
11. Test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head
(see page 77); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 85).
