Chapter 33-13.1 Transporting the Printer3.1.1 Transporting the Printer3.1.1.1 Transporting the Printer 0013-9654Do not remove the printhead once they are installed, as this may cause the nozzles to dry out or accumulate foreign matter. Also the head must be capped and stayin the carriage while transporting the printer. In spite of this precaution, shocks incurred during transportation can still damage the print heads. Print the "NozzleCheck" before moving the printer, print the "Nozzle Check" after installing in a new location, and compare the two printouts. If any deterioration is evident in theoutput quality, replace the printhead with new ones.This subsection describes how to transport the printer.When moving the printer to another place on the same floor of the building, move it slowly so that it does not receive any shocks. Follow the steps shown in "1.Moving the printer on the same floor".When moving it elsewhere, follow the steps shown in "2. How to transport the printer to a different floor".Always hold the carrying handles at the bottom of the printer when lifting and moving the printer. Holding the printer by its cover can deform the cover.Moving or transport operations where the printer needs to be temporarily tilted or stood upright must be performed by service personnel.1. Moving the printer on the same floor1) Turn off the [Power] button, and check that the heads are capped.2) Open the upper cover, and mount the belt stopper.When mounting the belt stopper, be careful not to move the carriage by applying too much pressure. If the carriage moves when the heads are capped, the rubberpart of the cap may touch the nozzles on the heads and damage the printhead.3) Close the upper cover.4) Remove the roll holder from the roll holder slot.5) Remove the interface cable and power cord from the printer.6) If the printer is mounted on a stand, unlock the casters on the stand.7) Hold the printer carrying handle at the bottom, and then slowly move the printer.If the printer is subjected to strong vibrations when it is moved, it can cause ink leakage or damage to the printhead. Be sure to move the printer slowly and carefully.2. How to transport the printer to a different floorFollow the steps shown in a) When the printer is operating properly. When the printer is not operating properly due to breakdown or a power-supply problem, followthe steps shown in b) When the printer is not operating properly.a) When the printer is operating properlyTo prevent the waste ink from leaking, drain the ink, and then remove the maintenance cartridge.
