The shutdown functions and their uses are as follows.

Shutdown mode

Use

Operation

Normal Shutdown

Same as shutdown by users.

Turn the main power switch off.

Forced shutdown

When normal shutdown does not complete even though you waited a long time.

Hold the main power switch 6 seconds or longer.

Shutdown for parts replacement

  • When you have to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, such as when replacing parts.
  • When you want to start the machine normally and then enter recovery mode, without changing the Startup mode in Screen Features Settings. (For updating control panel firmware)

Turn the main power switch off while holding down [Stop]. Continue to hold down the [Stop] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.

Shutdown for software update

When you are going to turn on the MFP within 5 minutes for updating the MFP firmware or package.

(Use shutdown for parts replacement if you are updating the control panel firmware.)

Turn the main power switch off while holding down the [EX1] key. Continue to hold down the [Stop] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.

Normal Shutdown

The MFP is equipped with a function to shut down safely in order to:

  • Prevent damage to the file systems in the HDD and the NAND flash memory.
  • Prevent paper from being left inside the body of the MFP (except when paper is jammed).

The shutdown process begins when the main power switch is pressed. To make a forced shutdown, press and hold the main power switch for 6 seconds. However, if you force a shutdown during the shutdown process, data being processed may be lost. Forced shutdown is to be used to shut down the MFP without disconnecting the power cord when the shutdown process cannot be completed.

Other Shutdown Functions

This MFP has two additional shutdown functions to facilitate maintenance.

Shutting down the MFP for parts replacement (Starting up in Normal mode when Quick mode is selected)

When Quick mode is selected, the MFP prepares for the next startup when it shuts down. This causes the shutdown process to take longer than when Normal mode is selected.

If you need to disconnect the power cord after shutdown in order to replace parts or for other reasons, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP just like you do in Normal mode. This shortens the time it takes to shut down the MFP.

  • Procedure
    Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [Stop] key on the control panel. Continue to hold down the [Stop] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.

Shutting down the MFP for software updates (Shutting down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode)

If you are going to turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode.

  • Procedure
    Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [EX1] key. Continue to hold down the [EX1] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.

  • You must turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes.
  • If more than 5 minutes has elapsed after shutting down the MFP using the above procedure, the machine starts up in Normal mode even if Quick mode is selected.
