Both the X1C and the P1s have the power switch on the rear panel. I would like to request that the power switches be moved to the front panel below the glass door. I think there might be enough room for a simple push on-push off type switch. If not, then the right side panel near the front would also be a better place then the rear panel.
Barring that, is it OK to turn these printers on by leaving the power switch in the on position, and just switching the wall outlet? I almost have to move the printers every time I turn them on, because of their locations -
I’ve been doing that since august last year with my P1S. Have it hooked up to a smart plug, no problems thus far.

i support this request - location behind the printer is sub optimal
I doubt this is feasible given that the switch and the power supply are the same unit inside the printer just like a computer and thus the wiring from there is dictated by components and such on the backside of the printer.
You should be ok to use anything like a surge protector or other device rated of course for the use with a remote switch and leave the printers power on.
Is that a fuse I see just above the red switch? Also, is this view from the bottom of the printer, and, is this an X1C? does the switch assembly connect to (I think ) the power supply being held in your hand, or does it connect to that terminal board above with the brown, blue, and green wire?
The view is from the rear of an X1C, and there is a 6 amp fuse between the red switch and the power cord socket.
The pictures are from the Wiki pages describing replacement of the power supply and the power switch, which also show where the wires connect.

umm, that makes it a little harder, guess I will fall back and punt. Thanks for the Wiki info, I’ll check that out!
