Prolonged Non-Use and Moving the Printer

Prolonged Non-use

If you ever leave the printer unused for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the wall outlet.

We recommend you consult with your dealer about the additional actions you should take to avoid

possible damages that may occur when the printer is used next time.

Moving the Printer

When you move the printer:

•

Move it gently.

•

Keep it as level as possible, to avoid spilling toner inside the printer.

•

If you ship the printer, remove and ship the process unit separately. Pack the process unit in a plastic

bag and ship them separate from the printer itself. Be sure to consult a serviceman before attempting

long-distance transportation of the printer.
