Caution

Do not turn the printer ON immediately after turning it OFF. If you want to cycle the power of the printer, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
If the printer does not operate properly, or an error message appears in the Printer Status Window, see "User's Guide" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
