Setting Power Saving
The printer offers the following two power
management options.
Sleep mode
The printer enters sleep mode when there are no
errors, no print jobs being received, and no control
panel or other operations performed. When the
printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's screen
turns off and the internal motors and other parts
switch off to consume less power.
Sleep mode is cleared if a print job is received or a
button on the control panel is pressed.
The delay before the printer enters sleep mode can be
selected from values between 5 and 210 minutes. At
default settings, the printer enters sleep mode if no
operations are performed for 15 minutes. The delay
can be changed from the Preferences menu.
U
Note:
When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's
screen goes blank as if the power has been turned off,
but the
P
light remains lit.
Power Off Timer
The printer is equipped with a Power Off Timer
option that automatically turns the printer off if no
errors occur, no print jobs are received, and no
control panel or other operations are performed for a
set period of time. The delay before the printer turns
off automatically can be selected from values between
1 and 24 hours in increments of 1 hour.
The default setting is 8 hours.
The printer turns off automatically if no errors occur,
no print jobs are received, and no operations on the
panel or other operations are performed for eight
hours or longer.
Power Off Timer settings can be adjusted from the
Preferences menu.
