2-1 Switching the Power On and Off
Switching On the Power
Leave the main power switch turned on, and use the
[POWER] key to switch the power on and off in day-to-
day use.
Points to Keep in Mind When Switching the Power On and Off
Do not switch off the main power while the sub power is switched on. The printing heads may be left uncapped (that is, the
printing carriage may remain over the platen). If the machine is allow to stand to with the printing heads uncapped for a pro-
longed period, the printing heads may become irreversibly clogged.
Before switching off the main power, be sure to hold down the [POWER] key for one second or longer to switch off the sub
power.
If the printing carriage stops while over the platen, press the [POWER] key to reset the power. The printing carriage moves and
the printing heads are capped.
If the printing carriage does not move even when you reset the power using the [POWER] key, refer to 6-1 What to Do If --
What to Do When the Printing Carriage Does Not Move.

When the machine will remain unused for an extended period, remove roll media from the machine and store it.
If roll media is left mounted on the machine for an extended period, these entire roll may warp, resulting in poor printed image
quality or motor errors.
When transparent media is loaded, it is necessary to set [SHEET TYPE] to [CLEAR].  For more information, see 3-5 Using
Transparent Media.
When changing to a different type of media, it may be necessary to perform feed correction or bidirectional correction. For more
information, see 3-6 Making Corrections for Printing -- Bidirectional correction.
