1.4Turning Printer Power On and Off

1.4.1Turning the power on

When the printer is connected to a power supply, press the POWER button to turn it ON. The beeper sounds once and the printer initializes itself.

If no BJ cartridge has been installed, the POWER indicator blinks to show that the printer is waiting for the cartridge to be installed.

If a BJ cartridge has already been installed when the power is turned on, the POWER indicator lights to show that the printer is in standby mode.

When the printer is first turned on after leaving the factory, it automatically performs a cleaning operation. This operation takes about 2 minutes during which the POWER indicator blinks to show that cleaning is being performed.

1.4.2 Turning the power off

If the printer is ON, press the POWER button to turn the printer OFF.

When you turn the printer off, the printer automatically caps the BJ cartridge. During this sequence, the POWER indicator continues to blink. The POWER indicator turns off on completion of the power off sequence.

Before unplugging the power cable from the wall outlet, make sure that the POWER indicator is off.

Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet before turning off the printer using the POWER button.

If you unplug the power cable to disconnect the power, the BJ cartridge capping will not be performed and ink may leak and dry on the nozzles, deteriorating the print quality.

If you press the POWER button to turn off the power during a cleaning operation, the POWER indicator will continue to blink until the cleaning operation has been completed. The power turns off after the cleaning operation has been completed and the nozzles have been capped. Note that any errors occurring after the start of the power off sequence are ignored.
