1. Getting Started

Turning On/Off the Power

This section explains how to turn on/off the printer.

Turing On the Power

1.Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.

2.Push the main power switch.

CYN031

The power indicator turns on.

After you switch the main power on, a screen may appear to indicate that the printer is initializing. Do not switch the power off during this process. Initialization takes about three minutes.

Turning Off the Power

When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not press and hold the main power switch when turning off the printer. Doing so shuts down the printer forcefully and may damage the hard disk and the SDRAM module, causing a malfunction of the printer.

ECO Night Sensor

ECO Night Sensor can detect darkness and automatically turn off this product's power.

If ECO Night Sensor is enabled and detects darkness in a room after the lights are turned off, the sensor automatically turns the power off and reduces the power consumption of this product to 1W or less.

The default settings of ECO Night Sensor are enabled. To change the settings, see:

"System", Operating Instructions. (for SP 4510DN)

"Administrator Tools", Operating Instructions. (for SP 4520DN)

The ECO Night Sensor function's factory default is [Auto Power Off Only]. If the printer is located in an environment where the ambient light level is low (such as in a hallway or a location with motion sensor lighting), it is advisable that you either keep this function disabled or adjust its sensitivity.

You can configure the printer to automatically turn its power on when it detects an increase in the ambient light level. The printer may also react to daylight and turn its power on. If the printer is located in an environment where it is exposed to direct sunlight, it is advisable that you do not change the factory default configuration and only enable [Auto Power Off Only].
