Turning Off the Main Power
This section explains how to turn off the main power.
Make sure to turn off the main power switch before pulling out the power plug. Not doing so may result in damage to the hard disk or memory, leading to malfunctions.
The “Shutdown” function stops the machine and powers it down safely. Shutdown prevents damage to the memory and hard disk occurring if the main power switch is turned off during an operation or while the machine is in an energy saving state. The following screen will appear when the machine is performing shutdown.
Do not turn off the main power switch while the machine is saving data. Doing so risks data corruption and damage to the hard disk.
After turning the machine's power off, wait at least a few seconds before turning it back on. If the message “Turn main Power Switch off” appears, turn the machine's power off, wait three seconds or more, and then turn it back on again. Never turn the power back on immediately after turning it off.
Make sure the operation switch indicator is not lit.

The main power indicator goes out.
When the main power switch is turned off while using the fax function, waiting fax and print jobs may be cancelled, and incoming fax documents not received. If you have to turn off this switch for some reason, make sure 100% is shown as available memory on the screen before turning off the main power switch or unplugging the power cord. Fax files in memory are deleted an hour after you turn off the main power switch or unplug the power cord.
