Transporting the printer

Caution: When carrying the printer, be careful not to shock the printer, to subject it to strong vibrations, to place it in the heat, or to put a heavy thing on it. This causes the printer to break or the ink to leak.

Notes:

• Pack the printer carefully when carrying.
• When you remove the power cord, check that the Power lamp is off. If the power cord is pulled out while the Power lamp is on or flashing, this may damage the printer.
• X-ray and any other baggage inspection devices have no adverse effect on this printer.
