Turning the Power Off
Note:
• Never disconnect the printer’s power cable(s) from the building’s electrical outlet
without first pressing the [Power] key to turn the printer’s power OFF. Doing so can cause
the printer to misread how much ink is still in the cartridges. It may indicate a cartridge is
empty when it is not. If this happens, there is no option but to replace the cartridge. This
can lead to dramatic waste of ink. The same problem may occur in the event a building
loses power.
Follow the procedure below to turn the power OFF.
Only Step 1 is a little different for the 8264E and the 8254E. The rest of the steps are the same for both
printers.
8264E
1. Verify the following regarding the operational condition of the printer.
– Printing or other operations are not in progress.
– The control panel displays "Ready to Print."
8254E
1. Verify the following regarding the operational condition of the printer.
– Printing or other operations are not in progress.
– The control panel displays "Ready to Print."
– The Low lamp on the control panel lights up in green.
Notes:
• 8254E - If the High lamp on the control panel lights up in green, the head height is set to
"High."
• For both the 8264E and the 8254E, if the media being used requires that the head
height be set to "High," leave it at that setting. Otherwise, return the head height to
"Low" before turning the power OFF. When returning the print head to the original
position
