II. TURNING THE PRINTER ON AND OFF

To turn on the printer, plug in the power cable to the back of the printer and plug the power supply
into an outlet. To turn off the printer, disconnect the power supply. It is recommended to plug the
printer into a surge protector and use the power switch on the surge protector to turn the printer on
and off.

To prevent plugging the hot end, be sure that the hot end temperature is less than 50

C before turning off the printer. The fans should turn off at 50 C
