SYSTEM CONTROL TASKS
Power off the LPS
If no one is using the LPS for more than eight hours, power it
off. For idle times of less than eight hours, the LPS has a built-in
energy saver feature that can be adjusted to conserve energy and
machine parts. (Refer to the “Energy saver” section later in this
chapter for additional information.)
When LPS is in online mode To power off the LPS if you are running online to a host
computer:
1. Contact the host system operator and request that the
output from the host to the LPS be drained and the LPS be
varied offline at the host.
2. Press the <JOBS STATUS> key or check the status display
on the PC UI desktop to ensure the system is idle (that is,
not processing print jobs or performing nonprinting tasks).
3. If the job queue is not empty: Use either the Endjob or Drain
tasks to print any pages remaining in the print file. Press the
<JOBS STATUS> key or check the status display on the PC
UI desktop, again, to ensure the job queue is empty.
4. Do one of the following:
• If you have the PC UI, either select the Offline button in
the Start window or enter OFFLINE in the Messages
window.
• If you have the system controller terminal, enter the
OFFLINE command.
5. Do one of the following:
• Enter the CONTINUE I command.
• Select CONTINUE I from the I/O window.
• Press the Continue button on the printer control
console.
• Press the <CON> key, <F2>, on the keyboard.
• Select CONTINUE from the header button of the
Messages window.
CAUTION: Failure to have the LPS offline prior to powering
off causes problems with the host system.
6. When the LPS is offline, press the System Power Off button
on the operator control panel.
