Turning off the Machine
1To turn off the machine, press the ON/OFF button.
When a selected mode button (e.g., COPY button) stops flashing, the machine is turned off after all the lamps on the Operation Panel go out. It takes a few seconds or as long as around one minute.
Important
When you turn off the machine
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.
(1)Confirm that all the lamps on the Operation Panel have gone out.
(2)Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine, the machine automatically puts a protective cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you remove the power cord or switch off the power outlet strip before all the lamps on the Operation Panel go out, this capping will not be done properly, causing the Print Head to dry and clog.
Note
The power cannot be turned off while the machine is sending or receiving a fax, or when there are unsent faxes stored in the machine’s memory.
