Important
When you turn off the machine
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.
(1) Confirm that all the lamps on the Operation Panel
have gone out.
(2) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you
are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off
instead.
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the
machine, the machine automatically puts a protective
cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If
you remove the power cord or switch off the power
outlet strip before all the lamps on the Operation Panel
go out, this capping will not be done properly, causing
the Print Head to dry and clog.
Note
The power cannot be turned off while the machine is
sending or receiving a fax, or when there are unsent
faxes stored in the machine’s memory.
