Power Saver Modes
This printer is equipped with a power saver mode 1 and a power saver mode 2 to reduce
power consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 3 minutes, the printer will enter the power saver mode 1.
When no data is received for a further 5 minutes (a total of 8 minutes lapse (default) since
the last receiving data), it will enter power saver mode 2 by default.
When it enters power saver mode 1, “Ready/Standby” is displayed on the control panel.
When it enters power saver mode 2, the display of the control panel blacks out and the light
of <Power Saver> indicator blinks. The time ranges to specify for the printer to go into power
saver mode 1 or power saver mode 2 are 1 to 120 minutes or 5 to 120 minutes, respectively.
Consumption of power during power saver mode 2 is TBD W or less and the time required
to exit from power saver mode 2 to a print-ready status is about TBD seconds.
Note
• You can specify for the printer not to go into power saver mode 2.
• For details on the power saver mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Basic
