Turn the printer on and off
If you wish to turn the printer on or off or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to use
the Power key on the front panel.
However, if you plan to store the printer for a long period or the Power key does not seem to work, you are
recommended to turn it off using the power switch at the rear.
To turn it back on, use the power switch at the rear.
When the printer is powered back on, it takes about 3 minutes to initialize and check and prepare the
printhead. Preparing the printhead takes about 75 seconds. However, if the printer has been off for 2 weeks
or more, preparing the printhead could take up to 7 minutes, plus 13 minutes if it needs a printhead recovery.
