6.9 Printer Storage Preparation
The ZPrinter 650 should never be turned off so it can automatically service the print heads and exercise
the moving components during idle times.
If the printer will be unused for an extended period (several weeks or even months), some extra care is
required to be sure your printer is ready to go when it is reactivated. Contact your dealer and request a
copy of the Summer Storage Procedure. You can also download it from our Web site at
