Between printing jobs, the printer can be left unused for up to one week. If 
the printer will not be used for more than a week, use the Shutdown wizard 
to automatically perform the procedures that must be done before turning off 
the printer (see "Shutting Down the Printer" on the next page).

When the printer stops producing models, the printer software automatically 
reduces the temperature of the print heads, as follows:

If, after printing a job, you know that the printer will not be used for 16 
minutes or more, you can immediately turn off the heating of the print heads 
by putting the printer into Idle mode.
