That's a good one for Q&A. However, further reading of the checklist indicates that this is with no pressure in the system (AKA, empty pneumatics, which is a really really bad way to start the match in most cases). Starting with full tanks will keep the compressor from running. (There is also no rule stating that the compressor must be running when the robot is enabled--and for good reason, considering offboard compressors.)
