Extended Power Down and Restart

Power Down

UNDER NORMAL OPERATION, DO NOT POWER DOWN THE PRINTER. Constant vacuum at the printheads is required to pre- vent ink from running out of the printheads.

If the power must be removed for a brief period of time, you can leave the carriage over the service station (not the capping sta- tion) to allow the ink, which will no longer be held inside the printheads by the vacuum/pressure system, to drain into the excess ink reservoir. Power up the printer as soon as possible and cap the printheads if the printer will be idle for four hours or more.

Optionally, you can maintain power to the vacuum system for a brief period of time by using the auxiliary 24 volt power supply, included in the printer accessory kit. This will prevent ink from running out of the printheads, but may not prevent the print- heads from drying out. If the printer will be powered down for an extended period, follow the procedure below.

If it is necessary to power down the printer for an extended period, for example in order to store or ship it, empty the ink from the printheads, and cap the heads.

Note	This process takes approximately 2-1/2 hours and 1
	liter of SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent to per-
	form. Make sure that there is a sufficient amount of
	Cleaning Solvent in the reservoir before performing
	this procedure.
