How should I transport or store my product?

  • If you need to store your product or transport it a long distance, prepare it for transportation as described here.

    Caution: During transportation and storage, follow these guidelines:

    • Because the product is heavy, two or more people should lift and carry it using the hand position shown:

    • Avoid tilting the product, positioning it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
    • Remove the ink packs before transportation as described here, but leave the maintenance box installed; otherwise ink may leak.

    Note: Before storing your product for a long period, replace low, expended, or expired ink to help prevent the print head from drying out. Store your product in a cool, dry place.

    1. Turn off the product.
    2. Remove all the paper from the product.
    3. Unplug the power cable.
    4. Disconnect any connected cables.
    5. Close the rear paper support and the output tray.
    6. Open the ink case.

    7. Press the handle on the ink pack.

      The ink pack pops out.
    8. Lift up the ink pack and remove it from the ink case.

    9. Push in the pop-out section and close the ink case.
    10. Follow the previous steps to remove the color ink packs on the other side of the product.
    11. Carefully transport the ink packs lying flat, with the ink supply port facing up.

      Caution:
      Do not drop or strike the ink packs; otherwise, ink may leak.

    12. Remove the optional cabinet and paper cassettes (if they are installed) before lifting the product.

      Note: If the optional cabinet is installed, you can use the casters on the cabinet to roll the product instead of lifting it. Remove the cabinet stands and unlock the casters before moving the product. Do not roll the product over uneven or rough surfaces to avoid harsh impacts to the product.

    13. Place the product in its original packing materials, if possible, or use equivalent materials with cushioning around the product. Make sure the box adequately protects the product control panel.

    Keep the product level during transportation.

    Reinstall the ink packs as soon as possible after transportation to prevent the print head from drying out. If print quality has declined when you print again, clean the print head and adjust the print quality.
