Epson 1400 Manuel D’Utilisation

Transporting the Printer

4. If ink accidentally gets inside 

the printer, wipe it off with a 
damp cloth in the area shown.

Warning: 
Don’t touch the gears or any 
other parts inside the printer.

Caution: 
Never use a hard or abrasive 
brush, or benzine, alcohol, or paint thinner for cleaning; they can damage the 
printer components and case.

Don’t get water on the printer components and don’t spray or apply lubricants, oils 
or grease inside the printer.

Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special paper; they may jam inside the 
printer.

If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for transportation by packing 
the printer in its original box or one of a similar size.

Caution: 
Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dry out the print head 
and may prevent the printer from printing.

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder and close the paper support.

3. Push in the output tray extensions and close the tray.

4. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the USB 

cable from the printer.

5. Repack the printer in the original box using the protective materials that came 

with it.

Caution: 
During transport, do not tilt the printer, stand it up vertically, or turn it upside down, or 
ink may leak from the cartridges.

After transporting the printer, plug it in and turn it on. If you notice a decline in 
print quality, clean the print head (see page 44); if output is grainy or blurry, align 
the print head (see page 53).
