Canon i860, i865 Service Manual

 

This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer (for returning after repair, etc.). 
1. 

In the service mode, press the Power button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting plate 
of the sheet feeder unit is raised. (See Caution 1 below.) 

2. 

Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. (See Caution 2 below.) 

3. 

Turn off the printer, and secure the carriage locks in the home position. (When the printer is turned off, 
the carriage is automatically locked in place.) (See Caution 3 below.) 

4. 

Securely fix the carriage with tape, as shown in the figure below. 

 

The tape should be similar to the polyester tape used at shipment, which will not easily be torn or 
removed, or leave adhesive on the unit when removed. 

 

 

Tape 

Securely apply the 
tape so that it will not 
easily be removed. 

 
Caution: 
1. 

If the paper lifting plate of the sheet feeder unit is not raised and in the normal usage position (such as 
when the power is turned off in the user mode) during transportation, the media sensor may be 
dislocated. 

2. 

If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink (especially the pigment black 
ink) is likely to dry. For this reason, keep the print head installed in the printer even during 
transportation. 

3. 

Securely lock the carriage in the home position, to prevent the carriage from moving and applying 
stress to the carriage flexible cable, or causing ink leakage, during transportation. 

 
Note: 
If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, perform the following: 
1. 

Install both the black and color ink tanks (to prevent the nozzles from drying). 

2. 

Attach the protective cap (used when the packing was opened) to the print head (to protect the print 
head face from damage due to shocks).
