3. Make sure that the product is idle.

If you need to leave the product turned off for a long time, follow the additional steps below.
1. Turn off the power using the Power key on the front panel.
2. Also turn off the power switch at the rear of the product.
3. Disconnect the product's power cable.
CAUTION: If you turn the product upside down, ink could escape into the product and cause serious
damage.
When the product is turned back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize itself and to check and
prepare the printheads. Preparing the printheads normally takes just over a minute. However, if the
product has been off for a six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 45 minutes.
CAUTION: If the product remains off for a long period of time, the printheads may become
unusable. In this case, you need to replace the printheads with new ones.
TIP: Because preparing and purging the printheads uses both time and ink, you are strongly
recommended to leave the product always on or in sleep mode, whenever possible, to maintain the
health of the printheads. In both cases, the product wakes up from time to time to maintain the
printheads. Thus you can avoid going through lengthy preparation processes before using your
product.
