Moving electrical appliances is not only difficult but also risky if you don’t know how to treat such pieces while in transit. Even if your appliances are not too heavy or bulky taking them to a new location may be a tour de force because of great fragility. What is more, unless you take into account some serious precautions it is possible that your appliances may be found destroyed in boxes because of friction and tremor inside the truck, whilst if you don’t have all the information needed as for how to properly disconnect and prepare the electrical appliances for moving you may make mistakes and cause permanent damage.

To this point, as far as printers are concerned extra care should be taken when packing and relocating such pieces in order to secure proper functioning after move. In the following Removalists Melbourne are giving smooth appliance moving ideas that will help you make the most of a printer move avoiding mistakes and unwanted damage. Here is our plan!

PREPARING A PRINTER FOR MOVE

If you have to take your printer to a new location keep in mind that there is much more to do than just unplug ...
... and pack it in a box. Unless you take some precautions your printer may not function properly after move. Here in a complete and detailed plan of what to do is more than necessary.

To begin with, preparation is the most important part of the move so thoroughly pad and pack your printer before you try to take it even a few feet in one room. A drop or accident that is very common while moving may destroy your appliance completely unless you are properly prepared so consider dedicating some time and effort to make your move as safe and easy as possible. All you have to do is just turn the power off, unplug, secure the transit restraint and remove the maintenance tray.

Turn off the power, unplug your printer and wait at least 30 minutes before you try to relocate it. Once the appliance displays the trademark or the “ready” message the print head is placed in the locking position but yet do not move the printer before the lapse of 30 minutes. It is of great importance to leave the printer cool down before you move it as it consists of ink that needs time to solidify, preventing this way damages to the internal components.

Finally, do not move the printer unless you take the maintenance tray apart. Given that the maintenance tray contains drum fluid that leaks if the printer is not level you should better remove this part and secure it in a sealed package. Using a screwdriver carefully remove the maintenance tray and keeping it level place it in a sealed plastic bag. Then place the maintenance tray in a box and fill any empty space with packing peanuts. Secure the box with tape and note the top with a felt- tipped pen to help you keep the box level all the way. Remove and pack any removable parts and accessories and your printer is ready to move.

HOW TO PACK AND MOVE YOUR PRINTER EASILY

After the preparation is done you can pack the printer and move it as follows. When it comes to electrical appliances we always recommend the original packaging for moving however as many people don’t have these boxes available any time there is an alternative plan.

Wrap the printer in bubble wrap making several layers to achieve extra protection. Secure the wrapping with tape and then place the printer level in a spacious box. Fill any dead spaces with packing material and secure the box with tape. Take the printer and the box with the maintenance box together in order to reinstall the printer to the new location easily. Finally, remember to keep the boxes level all the way so as to prevent damages.

MOVE MADE EASY: HIRE A MAN AND A VAN SERVICE TO HELP YOU MOVE

Having a step by step plan to help you move does not leave space for mistakes. Amateur movers though are not experienced enough to cope with difficult and demanding tasks not to mention that they have difficulties to face unexpected situations. This is the reason why many people look for an easier and more convenient option. Our man and a van service would be the optional choice. Professional movers have not only great moving skills but they are also offering high moving services, all equipment and materials needed and they will also cover you 100 per cent in case that something goes wrong and all this in a cost effective package!
