Printer Power ON and Off

Introduction

It is critical for the printer to remain powered ON at all times. Power is required in periods of inactivity so the printer can perform automatic functions to maintain its operating state. If these functions do not take place, damage to critical components can occur. However, it may be necessary on occasion to cycle power on the printer or to recover from a power outage.
