PRINTER TRANSPORTATION This section describes the procedures for transporting the printer for returning after repair, etc. 1) In the service mode, press the Power button to finish the mode, and confirm that the paper lifting plate of the sheet feed unit is raised. 2) Keep the print head and ink tanks installed in the carriage. [See Caution 1 below.] 3) Turn off the printer to securely lock the carriage in the home position. (When the printer is turned off, the carriage is automatically locked in place.
Part 2 TECHNICAL REFERENCE
1. NEW TECHNOLOGIES (1) New ink tank system (CLI-8) An LED is installed in each ink tank. By the LED indication, wrong installation of the ink tanks will be prevented, and the remaining ink level can be visually recognized with the ink tanks seated in the carriage. (2) Super-photo quality printing By the FINE technologies, 1 pl of ultra-fine ink droplet is adopted.

*3: How to prepare and set the ASF sub-roller cleaning sheet: 1) Fold a sheet of plain paper lengthwise in half. 2) Fold the paper at approx. 60 mm from the end, and fold the folded end in half backward, as shown below.
3) Moisten the folded end portion (indicated by the blue circle in the figure below) using a wipe, and set the paper in the ASF so that the moistened edge of the paper contacts the 2 sub-rollers. Then, fold the other end of the paper along the ASF cover edge to hook the paper to the ASF cover, as shown below. 4) Press and hold the Stop/Reset button until the Power LED blinks 3 times, then release the button to perform the paper feed roller cleaning.
