Moving a Short Distance

Take the following precautions when moving the machine a short distance - for instance, when attaching an optional paper tray or relocating the machine inside the same room.

SG 7100DN weighs around 15 kg (33 lb).
Grip the center area at the base of the machine's sides. Lift it slowly and do not strain your body.
When moving the machine, remove the option. Careless handling and over exertion when lifting can result in breakage and/or injury.

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.

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.

Be sure to keep the machine level. If it is unduly tilted, ink will leak from the ink collector.

Press and hold down the [Power] key until it turns off, and then unplug the power cord.

Disconnect the USB cable or Ethernet cable.

If options are installed, remove it.

See Attaching and Detaching Units and Options .

Lift the machine and move it to the place where you want to install it.
