Moving or shipping your printer
Carefully follow the procedures listed below to avoid damaging your printer when you need to move or ship it.

  1. Latch all covers: Make sure that all doors and covers are firmly latched to ensure that the printhead is parked. Do not turn off the printer until the doors are closed to avoid damage to the printhead.

  2. Turn off the printer: Wait for the printer's front panel to display the Ready message or the printer's name, then turn off the printer using the rear-panel On/Off switch.

  3. Unplug the printer: To prevent damage to the printhead and the power supply, never turn off the printer by unplugging it.

  4. Wait for 30 minutes: Let the printer cool down for at least 30 minutes before you proceed.


    Caution: The printer must be allowed to cool down for at least 30 minutes before you move it so that the ink has time to solidify. Failure to wait 30 minutes will likely result in an ink spill that will damage the printer's internal components.
  5. Remove and store the maintenance tray:

    Note: Recognizing the Maintenance Tray: The Maintenance Tray is the entire black, cartridge assembly. The small, blue tray is the Waste Ink Tray. The entire Maintenance Tray assembly and the blue Waste Ink tray must both be removed before shipping the printer.


    1. Open the front cover and remove the maintenance tray from the printer, keeping it level. Close the front cover.

    2. Remove, empty, and reinsert the waste liner into the maintenance tray.

    3. Place the maintenance tray in a plastic bag and seal the bag. The maintenance tray contains drum fluid that leaks if the tray is tipped. Keep the maintenance tray level and in a sealed plastic bag while transporting it.


      Caution: To avoid potentially causing damages not covered by your printer's warranty, remove the maintenance tray before moving or shipping the printer. If you have difficulty removing the maintenance tray, visit the
      Xerox infoSMART Knowledge Base, or you can call Xerox at 1-800-835-6100 (U.S./Canada) for further instructions or to have a service technician remove the tray for you.

      Always store a used maintenance tray in a leak-proof package and keep the tray level. Never ship a partially used maintenance tray.


  6. Lock the transit restraint:

    1. Insert a wide flat-blade screwdriver into the transit restraint slot, located on the right side of the printer.

    2. While pressing inward with medium pressure, turn the transit restraint slot clockwise to lock the printhead. The lock button is recessed from the side of the printer when fully engaged.


      Caution: To avoid damaging the printer's internal components, always turn the printer power off and lock the transit restraint before moving the printer. Failure to do so may result in damage to the printer's internal components, and such damage may not be covered by your printer's warranty.
  7. Repack the printer: Repack the printer in its original packaging. If you no longer have the shipping box, call your local dealer for replacement packaging, or call Tektronix directly at 1-800-835-6100 (U.S.) or 1-800-661-5625 (Canada).

  8. Shipping the printer to Tektronix: Obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from a Tektronix Service Center. In the U.S. and Canada, call 1-800-835-6100. Write the RMA number on all cartons, then ship the printer to the appropriate address:
