Turn the printer on and off

If you wish to turn the printer on or off, the normal and recommended method is to use the power key on 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.

Unplug the power cord

To turn it back on, plug in the power cord.

Plug in the power cord.

When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and prepare the printhead. Preparing the printhead takes about 75 seconds.

Note:

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 the sleep mode setting.
