Printer setup options
Turn the printer on and off
TIP: Turn the printer on with the hard power switch on the back of the printer or by pressing the
Power button on the front panel. You can leave the printer on without wasting energy. Leaving it
on improves response time and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for
a certain period of time, it saves power by going into sleep mode. Any interaction with the printer
returns it to active mode, and it can resume printing immediately.
NOTE: In sleep mode, the printer wakes up from time to time to do maintenance service to the
printheads. This avoids the need of doing long preparation after long idle periods.
If you want to turn the printer on or off, the normal and recommended method is to use the Power button
on the front panel.
When you turn off the printer this way, the printheads are automatically stored with the maintenance
cartridge, which prevents them from drying out.
However, if you plan to leave the printer turned off for a long period of time, you are recommended to
turn it off using the Power button, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.
To turn it back on later, use the power switch at the rear, and then press the Power button.
When the printer is turned on, it will take some time to initialize itself. This time is about 10 minutes for
the HP Designjet Z6100 printer series.
