How to turn off the Prusa i3 MK3S?
Hello,
maybe a stupid question, but how do I turn off the printer correctly? The reason why I am asking, everytime when I turn the main switch off the amount of power failures in the statistics menue increases by one (the print is finished and the printer has cooled down to room temperature). Is that correct or is there another procedure which I am not aware of? Thanks in advance even if it's a stupid question.
regards, Patrick

Same thing with me. It says I have 66 power failures, which I know is not true. I do the same thing: Let the printer cool down to room temp after the print is finished. When I press the switch to turn it off, it makes a loud beep, then shuts off. This doesn't affect any of my prints, but the same stuff is happening to me. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

Two questions:
- What color is your power supply?
- What is your firmware revision?
I ask because there was a firmware version that made the power-fail trip when turning the black power supply off. Supposedly recent firmwares fixed this (I have a silver power supply so I can't verify). But, I've seen some recent reports about the power-fail feature not working but I haven't taken the time to check on my printer.

The color of the power supply is black and the installed firmware revision is 3.7.2.
