Maintaining Your Printer

If you need to ship your printer, you must remove the ink cartridges and prepare the 
printer for transportation in its original box or a similar one. 

1. Turn on the printer, then press and release the H ink button.

2. Open the printer cover, then open the cartridge cover.

3. Remove the cartridges. For each cartridge, press in the tab on the back, then 

squeeze both tabs and lift the cartridge out of the printer. 

4. Set each cartridge down on a sheet of paper or plastic with the label on top facing 

upward. Pack the cartridges separately in sealable plastic bags.

5. Close the cartridge cover and press the H ink button. The print head moves back 

to its home position.

6. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then 

disconnect the printer cable and power cord from the printer.

7. Remove any paper from the printer, then remove the paper support, roll paper 

holder, basket, and automatic roll paper cutter, if they’re installed.

8. Open the printer cover. Tape the ink 

cartridge holder to the printer case. Then 
close the printer cover.

9. Close the output tray.

10. Repack the printer and its attachments in 

the original box using the protective 
materials that came with them.

Keep the printer level as you transport it. 

After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the ink cartridge holder. 
Re-install the ink cartridges as described on page 61.

Then test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head 
(see page 57); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see page 63). 

Tape the ink cartridge 
holder to the printer case

Caution: Be sure to remove the tape after 
installing the printer in its new location.
