Important

• When you unplug the power cord, press the ON button, then confirm that the ON lamp is off. Unplugging the power cord while the ON lamp is lit or flashing may cause drying or clogging of the print head and print quality may be reduced.

  

• If you stand the printer up or carry the printer before the ON lamp goes off, this may cause the ink to leak or the printer to break.

Note

• It may take up to 40 seconds until the power is turned off.
