Shut down the printer

You can shut down the printer to further reduce the energy consumption. After the printer has been shut down, the PRISMAsync controller, the control panel, the print engine, and the attached modules are switched off.

When the printer is shut down, the printer needs time to warm up. The time the printer needs to warm up depends on the print room temperature. If the print room temperature strongly deviates from the specifications, the printer needs more time to warm up.

NOTE

The Nozzle reconditioning mode is not active in shutdown mode.

To save energy during recurring periods that the printer is not productive, for example overnight or over the weekend, use automatic shutdown.

IMPORTANT

Do not use the power switch or disconnect the printer from the mains supply. Consult your service representative in case you will not to use the printer for a long period of time.
