13. Transporting Your Printer
It is extremely important you observe the following before transporting your printer:
Preparing the printer for transportation
If the printer is to be transported over a long distance, and/or by a common carrier (where you
cannot control the “care” with which the printer is transported) it is best to flush the printer
of ink to avoid the possibility of ink spills and the ink drying in the print head.
1. Fill the middle “flush” bulk ink bottle with flushing solution (available from Impression
Technology).
2. Remove the cover from the Ink Valve Compartment. Turn all of the ink valves so that
they are in the correct position for sending flush solution through to the print head
3. Empty the bulk ink bottles (pour the contents back into the originally supply bottles, or
other clean bottles, for later use), and rinse them with distilled water.
4. Ensure that the Waste Ink Bottle is empty.
5. Press and hold the Ink Fill button from the Control Panel to start charging the ink lines
with flush solution. Once you observe that the dampers are clear of ink, release the Ink
Fill button. You’ll need to monitor the levels of the both the Waste Ink Bottle (don’t let
it fill) and the bottle which contains the flushing solution (don’t let it get empty).
6. Close the Valve Compartment cover and the printer cover.
7. Turn the printer off using the Power button on the Control Panel – the print head should
lock at the far right side of the printer as part of the shut down process.
8. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
disconnect the printer cable from printer to computer.
9. Remove any objects from the Printing Bed (Garment Holder).
10. Tape the ink damper holder to the printer case using tape. Then close the printer cover.
11. Use the angle brackets that came with the unit and secure the Printing Bed in place on
bothsides. This is VERY Important.
12. Repack the printer in the box it was shipped in. If you are returning the printer for
repair you do not need to include the USB cable, printer drivers or Height Adjustment
Guide. You should include the power cord.
13. Try to keep the printer level while transporting it.
14. Remember that when using any common carrier, the printer is theresponsibility of both
you and the carrier until it is received in good condition at our office. Always insure the
printer for its full value in case of a mishap.
