Canon i9900, i9950 Service Manual

 

1 - 22 

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

Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. (See Caution 1 below.) 

2.    Turn off the printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned off, 

the carriage is automatically locked in place.) (See Caution 2 below.) 
Confirm that the paper lifting plate of the sheet feeder unit is raised.(See Caution 3 below.) 

3. 

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 is not easily cut, removable, 
and will not leave adhesive on the unit or remove housing/silkscreening when pealed off. 

 

 

 
 
Caution: 
1. 

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

2.    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. 

3.    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. 

Note: 

If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported separately, perform the following: 

1. 

Install the eight 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). 

 

Tape 

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