The push-button power switch is on the front left corner of the machine. There is no power switch on the operation panel.

  • Power is supplied to the machine (+5V), even after the machine has been switched off with the power switch.
  • Before servicing, press the power switch to switch the machine off, wait for the LCD and the power indicator on the operation panel to go off, and then disconnect the power cord.
  • Press and release the power switch again. This second press dissipates any residual charge on the PCBs and makes it safe to remove the rear covers. The second button press also sets the machine to switch on automatically after the power supply cord is connected again
  • After you have disconnected the power cord and pressed the power switch again to dissipate any charge, always wait at least three minutes before removing any covers.

After you reconnect the power cord to the power supply, the machine will start automatically. This automatic restart function is provided so the machine can cope with unexpected events. For example, if the power cord is unplugged accidentally, or if a power outage occurs, the machine will start up automatically as soon as the power cord is connected again, or after power supply has been restored.

  • If the machine does not switch on automatically after the power cord is re-connected, this does not indicate a failure. Just press the power switch to restart the machine.

Peripherals with Independent Power Cords

If the main machine is installed with one or more peripheral unit that has an independent AC power cord (Multi Fold Unit, Trimmer Unit, Booklet Finisher, Finisher, Ring Binder, Perfect Binder) unplug the main unit first, press the power switch to dissipate residual charge, and then disconnect the peripheral units.

Do the startup procedure with the peripheral units in this order:

  1. Connect the AC power cord of every peripheral with an independent power cord to its power source before you connect the power cord of the main unit.
  2. After the main unit starts up automatically, cycle the main machine off/on to make sure that the power switch is operating normally.

Power Off Before Servicing

  1. Press and release the main power switch on the front of the machine.
  2. The machine displays a message that tells you to wait while the machine shuts down.

  3. After the message goes off, check the right side of the operation panel and confirm that all the indicators are off.

    • Never disconnect the power cord until all indicators on the operation panel are off.

  4. Disconnect the power cord.
  5. Press and release the power switch. This dissipates residual charge from electrical components.
  6. Wait at least 10 minutes for components to cool (especially the fusing unit).

Power On After Servicing

  1. After servicing the machine, plug in the power supply cord. The machine should start automatically.
  2. If the machine does not start automatically, just push the power switch on the front left corner of the machine.

Forced Shutdown

You can force the machine to shut down if for some reason the machine hangs up or freezes and does not shut down normally.

  1. Press and hold down the power switch for 6 sec.
  2. Wait for the operation panel LEDs to go off.

  3. Press the power switch to turn the machine on.

    • Do not use this procedure to shut down the machine unless it is absolutely necessary.
    • A forced shutdown can damage the hard disk or memory, or otherwise damage the machine.
