Uncap the Printheads Uncapping the printheads is one component of the Wake func- tion, which reverses the Sleep function:

The printer leaves standby mode: the heaters are switched on, and the supply & takeup system is tensioned (loaded).

The OHS is enabled, which turns on power to the pumps.

When you manually disengage the capping levers, the cap- ping pad sensor is detected and the control panel enables all functions and displays the Sleep key.
