3-2. Turning On/Off Your Printer
<Note> Before you connect the power code, make sure:
The Ink Cartridges, Waste Cartridge Tray, and Wiper Cleaner Cassette are installed.
The Rear Cover is mounted.
Clear the front of the Platen as it slides out approximately 12 inches when operating.
3-2-1. Turning On Your Printer
(1) Connect the power cord (included) to the power cord jack of your printer.
(2) Connect the power plug to the power outlet.
Ground the power outlet using triode plug with protective earth terminal or triode-to-diode adaptor.
(3) Press the Power Switch to turn on your printer.
Your printer turns on, displays "Welcome to GT-541", and lights up the Error Lamp and the Print
Button while initializing.
The initialization requires approx. 40 seconds: a start-operation sound will be made when the
initialization has been completed.
When the installation finishes, "Stand By" appears on the display and your printer turns into
standby mode.
3-2-2. Turning Off Your Printer
When you have finished using your printer, follow the instruction below to turn it off.
(1) Make sure that your printer is not in middle of any operation.
(2) Press the Platen Button to store the Platen.
(3) Press the Power Switch to turn off your printer.
(4) If you are planning not using your printer for long periods of time, disconnect the power plug from
the power outlet.
<Note>
Do not turn off your printer during the operation; it may cause serious damage on your printer. If you
turn off your printer accidentally during the operation, immediately restart it, and then turn it off correctly
following the steps described in this section.
Leaving your printer unused for a long period of time may cause damage to it, because dry ink may
cause ink clogging. To avoid this, turn on your printer at least once a week and press the Head
Cleaning Button to clean the Print Head.
If you are planning not to use your printer for more than two weeks, follow “6-1-5. Required
Maintenance for the Long Storage” in the Instruction Manual to prevent ink clogging.
