the power off.
• Do not turn off the main power switch on the side

[END/POWER] button.
Precautions on turning the power off
Do not turn the main power switch off.
As long as the main power switch is on, the machine
periodically turns on to activate the function that
prevents ink sedimentation.
When the main power switch is off, this function does
not work, which can cause nozzle clogging.
Keep the front cover and the maintenance
cover closed.
When these covers are open, the function that
prevents ink sedimentation does not work.
Check the position of the head, and then turn
the power off.
If you turn the power off without the head returned to
the capping station, the ink head dries up, causing the
nozzles to become clogged.
Thus, if you have turned the power off without the
head returned to the capping station, turn the power
on again, confirm that the head has returned to the
capping station, and then turn the power off.
Do not turn the power off during printing or
cutting.
If you do so, the head might not return to the capping
station.
Press the [END/POWER] button to turn off the
power, and then turn the main power switch
off.
If you have to turn the main power switch off to move
the machine or to resolve an error that has occurred
on the machine, first hold down the [END/POWER]
button on the front of the machine, confirm that the
display on the operation panel has turned off, and then
turn the main power switch off.
• Close the front cover and the maintenance cover
before turning the power on.
• Leaving the machine with the main power switch
turned off for a prolonged period of time can cause
the head nozzles to clog.
