How to Turn ON the Main Power

This section explains how to turn ON the main power.

Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted into the power outlet.

WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in electrical shock.

If the Security Key is inserted into the machine, make sure that it is in the ON positions (turn it to the right).

* Security Key

When using the machine, insert the security key into the main unit, and then turn it to the right.

Turn ON the main power.

Open the main power switch cover.

Press the main power switch to the "I" side.

Close the main power switch cover.

The main power indicator on the control panel lights when you turn ON the main power switch.

Various screens appear when system software is loading.

If you are using a login service, log in using the procedure for the login service you are using.

NOTE
You can change the default display that appears after the machine is turned ON from [Default Screen after Startup/Restoration] on the Settings/Registration screen. (See "Default Screen after Startup/Restoration.") If this machine is connected to a powered off Macintosh computer by USB cable, the computer may turn on automatically when this machine does. In this case, disconnect the USB cable from the machine. You may also be able to solve this problem by using a USB hub between the machine and the computer. The response of the buttons and keys may not be optimal immediately after you turn ON the main power of the machine. If [Quick Startup Settings for Main Power] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration) and [Sleep Mode Alert], which appears when you press on the control panel, are both set to 'On', the tone sounds when turning OFF the main power of the machine. (Depending on the situations, the machine does not startup quickly and the tone does not sound.) Depending on the conditions under which the machine is being used, the machine may not startup quickly if you set [Quick Startup Settings for Main Power] to 'On'. For more information, see "Quick Startup Settings." If you are using Department ID Management with the Copy Card Reader-F1, see "Copy Card Reader-F1." If you are using Department ID Management, see "Entering the Department ID and PIN." If you are using SSO-H, see "Login Service."

Shutting Down the Machine

This machine performs a procedure to protect the hard disk when the machine is shut down.
This enables the machine to be shut down safely, even if there are any jobs being processed, or a MEAP application is running while the machine is shutting down.

Turn OFF the main power.

Open the main power switch cover.

Press the main power switch to the "

IMPORTANT
Do not turn the main power OFF while using the Fax/I-Fax function. Sending or receiving I-fax or fax documents cannot be done when the main power is turned OFF. If the message <Backing up stored data from the Remote UI...> is displayed on the touch panel display, do not turn the main power OFF. This may cause the machine to fail to back up the stored data. Data stored in the machine may be damaged if the Advanced Space is accessed by another imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine or a computer immediately before the machine shuts down. The machine may take some time to completely shutdown. Do not unplug the power cord until the main power indicator of the machine is OFF. If the main power is turned OFF during scanning or printing, a paper jam may occur.
