Power Saver
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time (in minutes) the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes into a
reduced power state.
Values:
Disabled
Disables Power Saver; the fuser remains warm and ready to print at all times.
1...240
Specifies the amount of time after a print job before the printer goes into Power Saver mode.
(Your printer may not support the entire range of values.)
The factory default Power Saver setting depends on your printer model. Print the menu settings page to
determine the current Power Saver setting. When the printer is in Power Saver mode, it is still ready to
receive print jobs.
Select 1 to put the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes a print job. This uses much less
energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Select 1 if your printer shares an electrical circuit
with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready
to print with minimum warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and 240 minutes if you want a balance
between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
Quick Start
Purpose:
To specify whether the printhead in the printer idles at a lower speed after a job is printed. The printhead
idles until the printer goes into a reduced power state. A printhead is the device responsible for writing to
the print cartridge which later transfers toner to the print media in the text or graphic pattern specified in
the print job during the printing process.
Enable Quick Start for the best performance whenever the printer is not in Power Saver mode. The
maximum time the printer allows the printhead to idle after a job prints is 240 minutes. Quick Start can
reduce the total print job time by as much as 1 to 2 seconds based on the printer model and job complexity.
Values:
On* Enables Quick Start. The printer causes the printhead to idle at a lower speed after a job prints. The
printhead idles until the printer enters Power Saver mode.
Off
Disables Quick Start. The printer turns the printhead off after a job prints.
