• 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 to power down the

machine. Using allows minimal power to

the machine, resulting in periodic, but less

frequent, cleaning of the print heads.
