Important Information
Before moving the printer, be sure to execute [Moving The Printer] from the printer driver.
Moving the printer without taking necessary measures could cause ink leak inside the printer, resulting in a fire, electric shock, or machine failure.
This product weighs about 24 kg (53 lbs.). Be sure to lift the printer with 2 people, grasping the handles located on the base from both sides, in a firm embrace. Lifting the printer in an abnormal fashion or by a single person can result in injury by dropping it.
Always hold the printer level and carry it slowly. If ink is spilled inside the printer while moving it, this could cause a fire or serious electrical shock or damage the printer.
