After you press the POWER button to switch the printer off, the printer
moves the cartridge holder to the home position and automatically caps
the print heads to keep them from drying out. If the printer loses power
as a result of a power failure, or if the power cord is disconnected, the
cartridge holder will stop and remain out of the home position. If left in
this position for a long period, the print heads will dry out.
