This section contains procedures to help you locate and resolve problems. Resolve some problems by 
simply restarting the printer. 
Restarting the Printer 
The printer has two power switches. The main power switch, located behind the front door, controls the 
main power to the printer. The secondary power switch is the Power/Wake button on the control panel. 
The Power/Wake button controls power to the printer electronic components, and when powered off, 
initiates a software-controlled shutdown. The preferred method to power on and off the printer is to use 
the Power/Wake button. 
To operate the printer, power on both switches: 
1. Power on the main power switch.
2. At the control panel, press the Power/Wake button.
