Power On/Off; When Not Using The Printer - Canon QY8-1360-000 Service Manual

Part 1: Safety and Precautions
BC-60

2.1.3 Power on/off

When the printer is turned off with the POWER button, the printer automatically caps
the BJ cartridge's nozzles for protection and to prevent ink leakage.
If the AC adapter is unplugged before the printer is turned off with the POWER
button, the nozzles may not be capped. In this case, plug the AC adapter again, start
up the printer and turn off the printer with the POWER button before unplugging the
power cord. Note that, if you unplug the power during the recovery operation and
then leave the printer, the purge unit may be damaged.

2.1.4 When not using the printer

Keep the BC-60 BJ cartridge installed in the printer even when the printer is not in
use. The BC-62e Photo and BC-61 BJ cartridges can be left installed in the printer or
stored in the cartridge holder. This also applies when carrying, transporting, or
storing the printer.

If the nozzles are not capped, the ink might dry out and clog the nozzles or
leak from the cartridge.
If the BJ cartridge is taken out of the printer, dried ink or dust may clog
the nozzles, resulting in inconsistent printing.
If the printer is moved or transported with no cartridge installed, ink may
leak from the cap mechanism.
