4. 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 feeder 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.) [See Caution 2 below.] 4) To further secure the carriage to prevent movement from the home position during transportation, make and use a fixing tool in the following procedures: i. Fold an A4-sized paper 5 times, and wrap it twice with tape, as shown in Figure A below (to prevent the fixing tool from caught into the inside of the printer). ii. Insert the fixing tool between the carriage and the main case unit, and securely fix it with tape, as shown in Figures B and C below. Note: The tape should be similar to the polyester tape used at shipment, which will not easily be torn or removed, or leave adhesive on the unit when removed. Leave a sufficient length of tape to fix the tool so that the tape end is easily seen even when the access cover is closed, so that the user will remove the tool from the returned printer without fail. Figure A:

Figure B:

Figure C:
Caution: (1) If the print head is removed from the printer and left alone by itself, ink (especially the pigment black ink) is likely to dry. For this reason, keep the print head installed in the printer even during transportation. (2) Securely lock the carriage in the home position, to prevent the carriage from moving and applying stress to the carriage flexible cable, or causing ink leakage, during transportation. Memo: If the print head must be removed from the printer and transported alone, perform the following: (1) Install both the black and color ink tanks (to prevent the nozzles from drying). (2) Attach the protective cap (used when the packing was opened) to the print head (to protect the print head face from damage due to shocks). To the top <Part 1: 4. PRINTER TRANSPORTATION>

Cause Corrective action - In the printer driver, increase the amount of extension. - Change the paper feeding method from the cassette to the auto sheet feeder. Possible call or complaint - A margin appears on printouts. - Paper feeds at an angle.
Variation in the top of form accuracy 3 B Print results
- A5 or legal size - In the low temperature and low humidity environment - Not solved even when the number of sheets stacked in the auto sheet feeder or the cassette is reduced
Due to decrease of paper feed capability in the low temperature and low humidity environment

- Set the top margin to 4mm or more.
- Print start position varies.
- Skewed paper feeding - Margin 4 B Print results
- Photo Paper Plus Double Sided - 2L size (Japan only)
- In the printer driver, increase the amount of extension. - Change the paper feeding method from the cassette to the auto sheet feeder.
- A margin appears on printouts. - Paper feeds at an angle.
Carriage lock lever dislocation 5 C Safety during transportation
- With the print head and ink tanks installed - The phenomenon occurred in the freight handling test.
When returning the repaired printer to the user, insert the fixing tool (A4 plain paper folded 5 times) between the main case and the carriage, and fix it with tape. [See Part 1, 4. PRINTER TRANSPORTATION]
During transportation for return after repair, Ink dries, and no ink is ejected.
Soiling on the back side of paper (lines or streaks parallel to the paper feed direction) 6 A Print results
- After continuous borderless printing of small sized paper (such as 4 x 6), when a larger sized paper (such as A4) is printed. - With Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or postcards, the phenomenon is likely to be noticeable and to be complained of by users, as printing is performed on both sides of such paper.
In borderless printing, printing is performed to the size slightly larger than the paper size, and ink off the paper is absorbed by the platen's ink absorber. Absorbed ink may attach to the platen rib(s) after several dozen sheets are printed, causing soiling at the leading edge of paper or on the back side of paper.
1. Perform Bottom plate cleaning (from the printer driver) up to 3 times*1.
- Paper gets smeared. - The back side of paper gets smeared.
Change the paper in each Bottom plate cleaning. The cleaning can end when paper does not get any soiling.
2. If soiling on the paper still remains after 3 times of Bottom plate cleaning, wipe the platen rib(s) and their surroundings with a cotton swab.
Soiling on paper in automatic - Automatic duplex printing (Photo Paper On the rib(s) inside the sheet feed unit used duplex printing (lines or streaks Plus Double Sided, postcards, plain paper) for duplex printing, ink mist may perpendicular to the paper feed accumulate, smearing paper. direction)
Temporary operational solution: Cancel automatic duplex printing, and manually print each side of paper.
Cleaning by user: 1. Perform Bottom plate cleaning (from the printer driver) up to 3 times*1.
cleaning was performed, and the platen ribs were cleaned with cotton swab, paper gets smeared.

2. If soiling on the paper still remains after 3 times of Bottom plate cleaning, wipe the platen rib(s) and their surroundings with a cotton swab. If the phenomenon persists after conducting 1 and 2, servicing is required. Service: Wipe any soiling or dirt off from the sheet feed unit and the bottom case unit ribs*2. Scratches on paper - PP-101D, PP-101, PR-101, SG-101, etc. - Paper feeding from the cassette - Multiple number of sheets loaded - Paper is scratched. - Marks appear on printed paper. - Change the paper feeding method from the cassette to the auto sheet feeder. - If automatic duplex printing is performed, cancel it, and, by setting only a single sheet of paper in the auto sheet feeder, manually print each side of paper. Scratches on the PF return lever due to paper feeding from the cassette, and duplex printing path.
*2: Locations to clean in servicing when soiling on paper in automatic duplex printing persists:
* Occurrence level: A: The symptom is likely to occur frequently. (Caution required) B: The symptom may occur under certain conditions, but likeliness is assumed very low in practical usage. C: The symptom is unlikely to be recognized by the user, and no practical issues are assumed. To the top
