Turning Power ON and Off
Introduction
It is critical for the printer to remain powered ON at all times. Power is required in periods of
inactivity so the printer can perform automatic functions to maintain its operating state. If these
functions do not take place, damage to critical components can occur. However, it may be
necessary on occasion to cycle power on the printer or to recover from a power outage.
How to Power ON
Procedure
1. Ensure the AC power plug is properly seated in its receptacle and that no loose objects can
interfere with any moving parts on the printer.
2. Turn the printer AC power switch to the On position.
3. Turn on AC power switch for the vacuum pump box (if you have the High Flow Vacuum model).
4. Turn on power for the control station LCD monitor, if necessary.
NOTE
During the boot-up procedure, the printer software is automatically started. The
software displays a splash screen. The splash screen will show initialization messages
and then the Print Job Control screen appears. The initialization is complete when the
top left panel of the display shows "Ready". Your printer is now ready for use.
How to Power Off
1. Turn OFF the UV lamps and wait for the lamps to cool down (the lamp fans will stop once the
lamps have cooled down).
2. Click the Shutdown icon in the Tools and Utilities tab.
3. Turn the printer AC power switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the vacuum box AC power off (if the HFV model).
IMPORTANT
Do not leave the printer powered OFF for longer than 30 minutes.
Power and compressed air are required in periods of inactivity so the printer can
perform automatic functions to maintain its operating state. If these functions do not
take place, damage to critical components can occur. If the printer needs to be shut
down for an extended period of time please contact your local service representative
so that the ink can be properly flushed from the system.
