Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance175
B
Packing and shipping 
the machine
B
When you transport the machine, use the 
packing materials that came with your 
machine. If you do not pack the machine 
properly, any damage that may occur in 
transit will not be covered by your warranty. 
IMPORTANT
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.
 
aOpen the ink cartridge cover.
bPress the lock release lever to release 
the ink cartridge and take out all the ink 
cartridges. (See Replacing the ink 
cartridges  on page 167.)
cInstall the green protective part and then 
close the ink cartridge cover.
 
IMPORTANT
• Make sure that the plastic tabs on both 
sides of the green protective part (1) have 
securely clicked into place (2).
• If you are not able to find the green  protective part, DO NOT remove the ink 
cartridges before shipping. It is essential 
that the machine be shipped with either 
the green protective part or the ink 
cartridges in position. Shipping without 
them will cause damage to your machine 
and may void your warranty.
 
dUnplug the machine from the telephone 
wall jack and take the telephone line 
cord out of the machine.
eUnplug the machine from the AC power 
outlet.
fUsing both hands, use the plastic tabs 
on both sides of the machine to lift the 
scanner cover into the open position. 
Then unplug the interface cable from the 
machine, if it is connected.

both sides of the scanner cover when 
opening and closing it. 
 
hWrap the machine in the bag.

your ‘Exchange’ machine.

On-screen 
programming
C
Your machine is designed to be easy to 
operate with LCD on-screen programming 
using the menu buttons on the Touchscreen. 
User-friendly programming helps you take full 
advantage of all the menu selections your 
machine has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, 
we have created step-by-step on-screen 
instructions to help you program your 
machine. All you need to do is follow the 
instructions as they guide you through the 
menu selections and programming options.
Menu tableC
You can program your machine by using the 
Menu table that begins on page 178. These 
pages list the menu selections and options.
Memory storageC
Even if there is a power failure, you will not 
lose the settings you have chosen using the 
Menu key because they are stored 
permanently. Also, you will not lose your 
settings in the PhotoCapture, Fax and Copy 
mode key menus if you have chosen 
Set New Default. You may have to reset 
the date and time.
IMPORTANT
During a power failure the machine will 
retain messages that are in the memory 
for approximately 24 hours.
