Turning the printer on and off

The first time you turn on the printer, the green power light glows and the
yellow error light blinks because you haven’t installed an ink cartridge yet.
(The next section tells you how to install the cartridge.)

To save power, the printer turns itself off after sitting unused for about 5
minutes. As long as you leave it plugged into an active power outlet, the
printer turns itself on automatically when you print something.

WARNING

Except in an emergency, never turn the printer off by

unplugging it unless the power light indicates that the power is off. If
the printer is plugged into a power strip, never turn off the power strip
unless you’ve already turned the printer off.

Each time you turn off the printer, or the printer turns itself off, it
automatically moves the ink cartridge to the right, where it caps the
nozzles to keep the ink cartridges from drying out. If you unplug the
printer or discontinue power before turning it off, the printer can’t
position the cartridge in the capped position, the print head may dry out,
and you’ll have to replace the cartridge.

To turn the printer on (and off), press this button.
