Procedures from Preparing to Move to Reinstallation

CAUTION

If an object is dropped behind the flat table, search for it with all power switches turned off.

Otherwise sudden movement of the machine may cause injury.

Important notes on moving

  • Once the preparations for moving the machine are complete, move the machine promptly and turn on the machine as soon as possible after the machine is relocated. If you leave the machine alone without turning it on, the precipitated ink will coagulate and result in problems such as the clogging of the print heads.
  • When moving the machine, keep it at a temperature between 5 to 40˚C (41 to 104˚F) and at relative humidity between 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
  • Handle the machine with care when moving it, keeping it level (not tilted at an angle) and preventing it from striking other objects.
  • When transporting in a vehicle, avoid placing machine on a tilted surface, such as on a seat, and keep the machine in a level state.
