NOTE

• The power cannot be turned off when the machine is operating.

• Your machine performs printhead cleaning every time you unplug and then plug in the machine. This ensures optimum print quality but also consumes a small amount of ink during the cleaning process. For this reason, it is recommended that you only turn the machine off and on with the [ON/OFF] key when instructed to do so in this guide.
