●The printer is not designed to be moved once the inks are installed and the printer is
powered on. Moving the printer after this point can cause ink to leak, splash, splatter,

including but not limited to re or electrical shock arising from ink coming into contact
with printer components.

to move or transport the printer to help you avoid injury and minimize ink leakage
and/or damage arising from ink leakage. However, these procedures do not guarantee
the ink will not leak and cause injury and/or damage.

leakage resulting from moving or transporting the printer after inks are installed and
the printer is powered on. If you move the printer after inks are installed and the printer
is powered on, you do so at your own risk.
