•
Once the carriage is on the platen area, switch OFF the printer trough the rear power switch.

Open the window, open the carriage latch & proceed to remove all the print-heads.

Re-packaging the Ink consumables
The print-heads must be re-packed with its original packaging. This is the best way to ensure the pen health during transportation.
The ORANGE caps must be reinstalled in the print-heads, then it has to be placed back into its container.
It can be sealed by some adhesive tape.
The ink cartridges must be stored back into its boxes.
The Maintenance Cartridge can be stored back into its bag, but to ensure no ink spills during manipulation
& transport, a zip plastic bag is recommended to properly seal this part.
