Transporting or Storing the Printer
If you are moving the printer a short distance (for example, in the same
building), you can roll it on its stand. Follow the instructions on page 5-27.
To ship the printer, you should repack it using the original box and packing
materials. Follow the instructions below to prepare the printer for shipment.
If you need to store your printer for an extended period (two years for the
Photographic Dye ink model, or six months for the UltraChrome ink
model), contact EPSON for assistance (see page 3 for contact information).
A service technician must drain all ink from the printer before storage.
Preparing the Printer for Shipment
Follow the steps below to prepare the printer for shipment.
1. Contact EPSON as described on page 3. A service technician must drain
all the ink from the printer before it can be shipped.
2. Once the ink is drained, turn off the printer and wait until the carriage
moves to the home position (on the far right) and the
Operate
light
goes off. Then unplug the printer.
3. Reinstall the carriage locking bracket (or screw) that was removed
during setup. (See page 1-6 for the Stylus Pro 7600 or page 1-17 for the
Stylus Pro 9600.)
4. Remove the following parts:
•
Power cord and interface cables
•
Paper basket
•
Roll paper spindle
•
All paper or other media
•
Optional auto take-up reel (if installed)
•
Optional manual cutter (if installed)
5. Make sure the ink cartridge lever is lowered and the ink cover is closed.
Since the ink was drained from the printer, no ink cartridges should be
installed.
Note
It’s a good idea to store
partially used cartridges in
separate, resealable
plastic bags.
