Be careful when moving the machine. Take the following precautions:
Turn off the main power. For details about how to turn the main power off, see "Turning Off the Main Power", Getting Started.
Close all covers and trays, including the front cover and bypass tray.
If optional paper feed units are attached, remove them from the machine and move them separately.
Be sure to place the machine on a smooth and stable place.
Keep the machine 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.
Be 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 machine.
If any external options are attached, remove them.
See "Installing Options", Getting Started and reverse the steps to remove options.
Lift the machine using the inset grips on both sides of the machine, and then move it horizontally to the place where you want to use it.
If you removed options, reattach them.
For details, see "Installing Options", Getting Started.
Be sure to move the machine horizontally. To prevent toner from scattering, move the machine slowly.
