Told off by printer for unplugging it while it was on

[Fish323]

I did my first refill on my Canon Pro 10s. It was easy. I used the drip fill method to save time rather than the rapid syringe method as I didn't have 10 syringes and modified covers. My guess it it took me about 1minute to drip fill each cart. As I was doing the second the carousel moved back, so I reset it to the center and then unplugged the printer to stop it doing it again.
After the process was complete I got a message telling me not to unplug the printer without switching it off. Will doing this cause any problems in future? I am not going to buy a spare set of cartridges and as fas as I am aware if I do each cartridge separately it will waste ink.
Thanks for any advice.

Congrats with the first refill.

You always can center the printhead (carousel in your words) by closing/opening the lid, so no need to switch off the printer.
Most Canon printers warn against shutting off without a parked printhead since it is not protected against ink draining and dry out.

Happy new year!

Thanks for that advice. I will just keep opening and closing the lid next the to stop it from hiding on me.
Happy New Year to you too.
