7.2. Transporting the Printer
The printer should be transported in its regular working position. Avoid any excessive shocks
or vibration.
If there is a threat that the printing system (the controller, print head, ink system) may get
tilted or be exposed to excessive shocks or vibration during the transportation, secure the unit
in the following way:
1.
Detach and remove the printer from its workplace.
2.
Remove the bottle of ink and plug it with a cap to protect the ink from pouring out.
3.
Remove the print head, ink system and connecting cables.
4.
Protect the print head as for storage - see section
7.1 Storing the Printer
5.
Wrap the printing system components (the controller, print head, ink system container, container
and head fixtures and holders) with corrugated board or bubble foil - see
Fig. 7.2.1
6.
Wind up connecting cables and polyethylene piping to make a reel diameter of about 20cm and
secure with packing tape.
Place all secured parts in a
cardboard box (the original transportation packing is
recommended) and protect them against moving inside the box. Close the box and protect it
from getting open accidentally. You can also use other packing to protect all parts against
mechanical damage. Allowable mechanical shocks inside the packing must not exceed
max
1g, max 2ms
