Epson 1160 User Manual

If you move your printer some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in 
its original box. Follow these steps:

To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed 
when transporting the printer.

Be sure to remove the tape used in step 4 after installing the 
printer in its new location.

1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then 

turn off the printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the printer 

cable from the printer.

3. Remove any paper from the printer and remove the paper support.

4. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink 

cartridge holder to the printer with tape as 
shown, then close the printer cover.

5. Push in the output tray extensions and close 

the tray.

6. Repack the printer and attachments in the 

original box using the protective materials 
that came with it. See the unpacking sheet 
that was packed with your printer.

Be sure to keep the printer level as you transport it. 

After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the print head and test your 
printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head (see page 37); if 
output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 46). 

Tape the ink cartridge holder 
to the printer case
