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.
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 printer.
If any external options are attached, remove them.
See the relevant sections in this manual and refer to the steps to remove options.
Lift 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.
If you removed options, reattach them.
For details, see the relevant sections in this manual.
Be sure to move the printer horizontally. To prevent toner from scattering, move the printer slowly.
