To prolong print head life, provide the best ink cartridge economy and maintain
print quality, we do not recommend frequently unplugging the machine and/or
leaving the machine unplugged for extended periods of time. We recommend
using to power down the machine. Using allows minimal power to the
machine, resulting in periodic, but less frequent cleaning of the print head.
