2. Capping
The printer will perform the capping operation when printing has ended or during standby due to an error, in
order to protect the printhead and avoid ink leakage.
If the power cord is accidentally unplugged, turn off the Power button, reconnect the power cord, and then
turn on the Power button. Confirm that the printer starts up properly and enters to the "Online" or "Offline"
status, and then power off the printer using the Power button.
Improper "capping operation" may cause clogged nozzles due to dried ink or ink leakage from the printhead.
