DO NOT connect the USB cable yet (if you are using a USB cable).
To prolong the life of the print head, provide the best ink cartridge economy and maintain print quality, we do not recommend unplugging the machine frequently and/or leaving the machine unplugged for extended periods of time. Each time you plug the machine in, it automatically cleans the print heads, which uses some of your ink. We recommend using
(Power On/Off) to power down the machine. Using
(Power On/Off) allows minimal power to the machine, resulting in periodic, but less frequent, cleaning of the print heads.
