Moving the Printer

This section describes precautions to move the printer.

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

  • 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.

  • The printer weighs approximately 16 kg (36.0 lb.). When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly in pairs. The printer will break or cause injury if dropped.

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 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 main 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 refer to the steps to remove options.

3Lift the printer by using the inset grips on both side of the printer, and then move it horizontally to the place where you want to install it.

Note

  • Be sure to move the printer horizontally. To prevent toner from scattering, move the printer slowly.
