PIXMA TS 6420 shuts off after a period of time

BOBBYV — Sun, 04 Sep 2022 00:24:33 GMT

I want my printer on all the time. I've spent over an hour trying the USELESS online manual and this support forum and I can't find a way to keep the printer on. HELP! The only help in this forum I could find for this issue is for a different model that uses keys mine does not have. HELP!

IF you just follow the web link in the e-mail telling you you have a response, there is no ACCEPT AS SOLUTION button. You have to login to get that. Once again Canon scores high marks for making their process as difficult and wierd as possible.
