Basic Operation

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
five minutes after the last job is finished. The printer then switches to the sleep mode after another six minutes of
inactivity. When the printer is in the low power mode, the LCD backlight turns off. In the sleep mode, the
(
Power
Saver
) button lights up. The LCD panel goes blank and nothing more appears.
The factory default settings of five minutes (Low Power Timer) and six minutes (Sleep Timer) are changeable within
the range of 5 to 30 minutes (Low Power Timer) and 1 to 6 minutes (Sleep Timer). The printer returns to the ready-
to-print state in about 28 seconds when re-activated.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically exits the power saver mode when it receives a job from a computer. To manually exit the
low power mode, press any button on the operator panel. To exit the sleep mode, press the
(
Power Saver
)
button.
NOTE:
•
When the printer is in the sleep mode, all buttons on the operator panel except for the
(
Power Saver
) button do not
function. To use the buttons on the operator panel, press the
(
Power Saver
) button to exit the power saver mode.
