The MFP is equipped with a function to shut down safely in order to:
Prevent damage to the file systems in the HDD and the NAND flash memory.
Prevent paper from being left inside the body of the MFP (except when paper is jammed).
If the main power switch is a rocker switch, the shutdown process begins when the rocker switch is moved to the OFF position.
If the main power switch is a push switch, the shutdown process begins when the switch is pressed. To make a forced shutdown, press and hold the push switch for 6 seconds. However, if you force a shutdown during the shutdown process, data being processed may be lost. Forced shutdown is to be used to shut down the MFP without disconnecting the power cord when the shutdown process cannot be completed.
Other Shutdown Functions
This MFP has two additional shutdown functions to facilitate maintenance.
Shutting down the MFP for parts replacement (Starting up in Normal mode when Quick mode is selected)
When Quick mode is selected, the MFP prepares for the next startup when it shuts down. This causes the shutdown process to take longer than when Normal mode is selected.
If you need to disconnect the power cord after shutdown in order to replace parts or for other reasons, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP just like you do in Normal mode. This shortens the time it takes to shut down the MFP.
Procedure
Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [Stop] key on the control panel. Continue to hold down the [Stop] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.
Shutting down the MFP for software updates (Shutting down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode)
If you are going to turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode.
Procedure
Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [EX1] key. Continue to hold down the [EX1] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.
You must turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes.
If more than 5 minutes has elapsed after shutting down the MFP using the above procedure, the machine starts up in Normal mode even if Quick mode is selected.
