IMPORTANT
After powering the printer On, leave it running continuously, even when at idle. Failure to leave the printer powered on may result in ink draining out of the ink reservoirs. It may also result in damage to the printheads. Leave the printer powered On at all times, unless service to electrical components is required.
NOTE
The printer is designed to be left powered ON at all times as only minimal power is consumed when the printer is idle.
IMPORTANT
To maintain optimal printer reliability, leave the power on at all times. However, there are exceptions such as for ink flushes, some service procedures, or if the printer requires a reboot. If you need to shut down the printer for just a few minutes, follow this procedure. However, if you need to leave the printer idle for periods of 30 minutes to 14 days, see the table below.
NOTE
Avoid Extended Power Off
If the power is switched off for only a short period (for example, when the printer is shut down and then immediately restarted to correct an electrical problem or other troubleshooting), no special action is required at startup. However, if it is necessary to leave the printer idle for an extended period refer to the table below. Also, perform Automatic and Manual Maintenance when you start to use it again. We recommend that you leave the printer powered On at all times except for service repair.
