FOperation panel

A1 ON/STANDBY button/indicator (9, 10) Used to switch the printer to on or to standby status. When the ON/STANDBY button is set to on, the power is on and the indicator lights in green.

In the standby mode, the printer does not print, however, power is saved. When the printer is not used for a long time, it is recommended that you turn the printer off. To turn the printer off, set this ON/ STANDBY button to the standby mode and set the main power switch on the rear panel to off.
