Transporting Your Printer Do not tilt the printer or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so may cause ink to leak during relocation. If you can transport the printer in its horizontal orientation: Packing the printer If the printer may tilt during transport: Important • If you tilt the printer or turn it on its side or upside down, ink may leak. For this reason, when transporting the printer, to prevent the ink leakage, the ink in the printer and a certain amount of ink in the ink tanks need to be ejected into the maintenance cartridge. If the maintenance cartridge does not have the remaining capacity enough for ejected ink, you need to replace it with a new one. Up to three maintenance cartridges are required. If replacement of the maintenance cartridge is not possible, printer transport preparation cannot be executed. We recommend you to prepare maintenance cartridges before executing printer transport preparation. However, the maintenance cartridge removed for printer transport preparation may still have the remaining capacity for printing. In such cases, the removed maintenance cartridge can be reinstalled for use. When you first use the printer after executing printer transport preparation, a certain amount of ink is consumed to set up the printer for printing. The maintenance cartridge is also consumed for this set up. Prepare to transport the printer and remove ink tanks. 1. Preparing to Transport Your printer 2. Packing Your printer 3.
