Transporting the Printer Caution: If you don't follow the procedures in this section, ink will leak when you transport the printer. However, if you are moving your printer a short distance, for example, from one table to another, you don't need to remove the ink cartridges. Be sure to keep the printer level when you move it. If you want to ship your printer, you need to prepare it for transportation and repack it in the original box. Follow these steps: 1. Turn on the printer. 2. Remove all four of the ink cartridges and store them in separate plastic bags. 3. Close the ink compartment door. 4. Turn off the printer and make sure the print heads are in the home (far right) position. If they are not, turn the printer back on, wait until they stop moving and are in the home position, then turn off the printer. 5. Wait until the printer stops making noise and all the lights stop flashing, then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect the interface cable from the printer. 6. Remove the paper from all the feeders. 7. Remove the edge guides and banner paper cover. 8. Remove the paper tray and paper tray cover. 9. Repack the printer and attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with it. See the Notice Sheet that was packed with the printer. Be sure to keep the printer level in an upright position as you transport it. If you reinstall the cartridges that were removed in step 2, the ink sensor will not correctly indicate the amount of ink in the cartridges. You may run out of ink before the Ink Out lights comes on. If you want the ink sensor to work properly, you need to install new ink cartridges. See page 9 for instructions.
