Keep your printer clean and perform all recommended scheduled maintenance to ensure that the printer is ready to produce optimal quality images.
The start-up procedure must be performed every morning or after a period of time when the printer has not been used. The shut-down procedure indicated here is for the end of a regular workday. If the printer is shut down for longer periods of time than a few days, then there are more considerations, as documented in the previous section on How to Switch the Printer Off (see the note on Extended Power Off).
Review the sections on hardware and software interface if you are not familiar with the Command Toolbar and other components mentioned in this section.
