2. Diagnostic LEDs (to be used by service engineers)
3. Gigabit Ethernet port, to connect to a network
4. Communication port
Turn the printer on and o
TIP: The printer can be left powered on almost without wasting energy. Leaving it on improves response time
and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the default time is
determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any interaction with the printer's
front-panel display, or sending a new job to print, returns it to active mode, and it can resume printing
immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see Change system options on page 13.
NOTE: In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads from time to time. This
avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to leave the printer
powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.
If you want to turn the printer on or o or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to use the
power key beside the front panel.
However, if you plan to store the printer for a long period or the power key does not seem to work, you are
recommended to unplug the power cord at the rear.
8 Chapter 1 Introduction ENWW
To turn it back on, plug in the power cord.
When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and prepare the
printheads. Preparing the printheads takes about 75 seconds. However, if the printer has been o for six weeks
or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 45 minutes.
ENWW Turn the printer on and o 9
Front panel
The front panel is a touch-sensitive screen with a graphical user interface, located on the front right of the
printer.
It gives you complete control of your printer: from the front panel, you can view information about the printer,
change printer settings, monitor printer status, and perform tasks such as supplies replacement and
calibrations. The front panel displays alerts (warning and error messages) when necessary.
It includes the following components:
1. The front panel itself: a 15.6 inch, full-color, touch-sensitive screen with a graphical user interface.
2. A Hi-Speed USB host port, intended for connecting a USB ash drive, which can provide les to be printed.
When a USB ash drive is inserted, a USB icon is displayed on the front panel's all-apps page.
3. The power key, with which you can turn the printer on or o, or wake up from sleep mode.
The front panel has a large central area to display dynamic information and icons.

waking up only as necessary.
The printer can be woken from sleep mode any of the following ways:
● By pressing the power button
● By opening a cover
● By sending a print job
The printer wakes up in several seconds, more quickly than if it is completely turned o. While in sleep mode, the
power button blinks.
To change the time that elapses before sleep mode, see Change system options on page 13.

LDAP Congure the email address book
The printer uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which provides access to a network address book
for scan-to-email and authentication purposes.
The following instructions explain how to use LDAP to connect the printer to a network email address book, and
to authenticate users of the printer using their LDAP credentials.
Email lookup
When the printer uses LDAP for scan-to-email, it searches a database of email addresses. When you enter the
email address and click the Search button, LDAP searches a list of email addresses for matching characters. You
can rene the search results by typing additional characters and performing a new search.
Printers that support LDAP also support the use of a standard outgoing email prole, so they do not require a
connection to an LDAP server in order to send email.
Information needed before starting
Ensure that you have the following information before starting the conguration:
● Server address (hostname or IP).
● Server authentication requirements.
● Path to start search (BaseDN, Search Root) (for example, o=mycompany.com).
● Attributes for matching the name entered (such as cnor samAccountName), retrieving the email address
(such as mail), and how the name will be displayed on the control panel (such as displayName).
