How to / Maintenance and Transportation

Transporting the Printer

Finding a new place for the printer

If you need to transport your printer, carefully repack it using the original box and packing materials.

Follow these steps to repack the printer:

Turn off the printer.

Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Open the front cover.

Remove the imaging cartridge. For instructions on how to remove the imaging cartridge, see Replacing the Imaging Cartridge.

Caution:

Whenever you ship or transport the printer, remove the imaging cartridge and place it in a plastic bag. Seal the bag to prevent the fine toner particles from spilling over the printer or your clothing.

Do not expose the imaging cartridge to light any longer than necessary.

Remove all installed options.

Attach the protective materials to the printer; then repack the printer in its original box.

Caution:

The printer weighs about 26 kg (57.4 lb). Always carry it with two or more people.

Finding a new place for the printer

When relocating the printer, allow adequate space around the printer for easy operation and maintenance as shown in the illustrations below.

To install any of the following options, you will need the indicated amount of additional space.

Large Capacity Paper Unit adds 140 mm (5.5 in.) per unit to the printer's height.

Multibin Unit adds 360 mm (14.2 in.) to the printer's height.

Shifter adds 220 mm (8.7 in.) to the printer's height.

Caution:

Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power cord.

Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.

Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

Keep the entire computer and printer system away from potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power may erase valuable information stored in your computer's memory and in the printer memory.

Avoid using outlets that other appliances are plugged into.

Use a grounded outlet that matches the printer's power plug. Do not use an adapter plug.

Only use an outlet that meets the power requirements for this printer.
