Power Saver Mode
The printer has a power saving feature which reduces power consumption during periods of
inactivity. This feature operates in two modes: Low Power mode and Sleep mode. As delivered, the
printer switches to the Low Power mode one minute after the last job is finished. The printer then
switches to the Sleep mode after another 10 minutes of inactivity. The Sleep mode is also manually
activated by pressing the (
Energy Saver
) button when the display shows
Select Function
.
When the printer is in the Low Power mode, the LCD backlight turns off. In the Sleep mode, the
(
Energy Saver
) button lights up. The LCD panel goes blank and displays nothing.
The factory default settings of 1 minute (Low Power mode) and 10 minutes (Sleep mode) are
changeable within the range of 1 to 30 minutes (Low Power mode) and 6 to 11 minutes (Sleep mode).
The printer returns to the ready-to-print state in about 25 seconds when re-activated.
