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, it will enter the power saver mode 2 by
default.
When it enters the power saver mode 1, [Ready/Standby] is displayed on the control panel.
When it enters the power saver mode 2, the display of the control panel blacks out and the
light of <Power Saver> indicator is on. The time ranges to specify for the printer to go into
the power saver mode 1 or the power saver mode 2 are 1 to 60 minutes or 5 to 120 minutes,
respectively. Consumption of power during the power saver mode 2 is 8 W or less and the
time required to exit from the power saver mode 2 to a print-ready status is about 30
seconds.
Note
• You can specify for the printer not to go into the power saver mode 2.
• For details on the power saver mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Basic
Operations (Example: Changing the Power Saver Timer)” (P. 36).
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically cancels the power saver mode once it receives data from the
computer.
To cancel the power saver mode 1 or the power saver mode 2 manually, press any button
on the control panel or press the <Power Saver> button, respectively.
