Sleep/Wake mode — Sleep unloads the media, powers down the UV lamps, ionizer bar, printheads, carriage, ink
pumps, and media drive motors, but maintains vacuum to the printheads to prevent ink leakage. The fans over the
service station also continue to run. Wake powers up the printer components. The printer goes into sleep mode
automatically after a user-defined period of time, and “wakes” automatically when a print job is received or a printer
operation is performed from the control panel.
NOTE:
If printhead vacuum is ever lost, the ink in the printheads will seep onto the service station. (Vacuum loss will
not result in additional ink being drawn out of the ink supply boxes.)
To prevent ink leakage during an unexpected power outage, use the vacuum system’s 24 volt auxiliary power supply
and connect it to an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). See Appendix A for specifications. It is not necessary to
connect the entire printer to a UPS, only the vacuum system needs to be connected to avoid ink seepage.

Attention messages
The printer issues an Attention message to inform you of a condition that needs your attention. There
are three types of Attention messages:
●
Actions — an error condition that stopped printing or will prevent printing from starting. You
must correct the error before the printer will be ready to print. The Attention icon blinks between
yellow and red when the message is new. After you read the message, the icon turns red.
●
Warnings — a condition that, if left unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a
condition that will require an action before printing can continue. Any action on your part is
optional. The Attention icon blinks between yellow and red when the message is new, After you
read the message, the Attention icon turns into the Ready icon unless an Action message is
present.
●
Errors — detailed error information for technical support personnel. These messages do not halt
printing and require no action from the user.
When the printer issues one of these messages, press View Attentions on the Home page to display
a list of message titles, and select a title to display a detailed cause-and-recovery screen.
