Packing and shipping the machine

When you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine. If you do not pack the machine properly, you could void your warranty.
CAUTION CAUTION
 
It is important to allow the machine to ‘park’ the print head after a print job. Listen carefully to the machine before unplugging it to make sure that all mechanical noise has stopped. Not allowing the machine to finish this parking process may lead to print problems and possible damage to the print head.
