Power button and light

Use the Power button to turn the printer on and off. It can take a few seconds for the printer to turn on after you press the Power button.

The Power light flashes when the printer is processing.

Caution Always use the Power button to turn the printer on and off. Using a power strip, surge protector, or a wall-mounted switch to turn the printer on and off might cause printer failure.

The printer is designed with an auto-off feature that, when set, automatically places the printer into a low power mode when it has been idle for 30 minutes. In this mode, the printer continues to consume a maximum 3.0 watts of power with the radio off (maximum

5.5watts with the radio on) and turns back on automatically when print jobs are sent to the printer. You can manually turn the printer off by pressing and holding the Power button
