Do not turn off your printer when it is operating. It may cause serious damage to your printer. If you turn off your printer accidentally during the operation, immediately restart it, and then turn it off correctly following the steps described in this section.

If the printer is unused for a long time we recommend turning on your printer once a week and press the Head Cleaning Button to clean the Print Head. This ensures the ink is kept free flowing. If you are planning not to use your printer for more than two weeks, follow “6-1-5. Required Maintenance for the Long Storage" to prevent ink clogging.
