Moving the Printer

This section describes precautions and procedures when moving the printer.

Choose your printer's location carefully. Environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.

WARNING

  • It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

CAUTION

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully out. If not, an injury might occur. After moving the machine, return the four handles to their original positions.

CAUTION

  • Do not hold the control panel while moving the printer. Doing so may damage the control panel, cause a malfunction, or result in injury.

Important

  • Be careful when moving the printer. Take the following precautions:

    • Turn off the main power. For details about how to turn the main power off, see Turning On/Off the Power

    • Close all covers and trays, including the front cover and bypass tray.

    • If optional paper feed units or finishers are attached, remove them from the printer and move them separately.

    • Be sure to place the printer on a smooth and stable place.

    • Keep the printer level and carry it carefully, taking care not to jolt or tip it. Rough handling may cause a malfunction or damage the hard disk or memory, resulting in loss of stored files.

    • Protect the printer from strong shocks. Impact can damage the hard disk and cause stored files to be lost. As a precautionary measure, files should be copied to another computer.

1Be sure to check the following:

  • The power switch is turned off.

  • The power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

  • The interface cable is unplugged from the printer.

2If any external options are attached, remove them.

See the relevant sections in this manual and reverse the steps to remove options.

Contact your service representative about removing external options installed by a service representative.
