Transporting Your Printer If you need to move the printer a short distance, such as from one room to another, make sure you keep the printer level to avoid spilling toner. If you are shipping the printer some distance, repack the printer and its accessories in the original packing materials to avoid damaging them. CAUTION: Do not ship the printer with the imaging cartridge installed. Packing for transportation To pack the printer, assemble all the original packing materials and some strong packing tape. 1. Be sure your printer and computer are turned off. Then, remove the power cord and the cable connecting your printer and computer. 2. If the optional lower paper cassette or the optional face-up tray is installed, remove and repack them. Remove any identity or font cards or font cartridges. 3. Remove any paper from the paper cassette. WARNING: If the printer has been on, the fuser may be hot. Let it cool before proceeding. 5-22 Maintenance and Transportation
