How do I repack the printer?

Before shipping the printer, make sure that you have the following parts for repacking:

Insertion sheet for repacking
Plastic bag for the waste toner box
Plastic bags and orange protective covers for the toner cartridge (4 pieces that the toners were originally packed in.)
The original orange packing material for locking the drum unit and the belt unit (4 pieces)
A piece of paper (letter or A4) to protect the belt unit (Please prepare by yourself.)
