Preparation before Use
Energy Saver Function
Sleep
When the set time (factory setting is 1 minute) elapses after the printer is last used, the printer automatically enters sleep
mode. The message display backlight and lights turn off to minimize power consumption. This status is referred to as Sleep.
There are two sleep modes: Quick Recovery and Energy Saver. The default setting is Energy Saver mode.
Quick Recovery Mode
The recovery from the sleep mode is faster than when using Energy Saver mode.
The message display goes off when sleep mode is entered and the Ready indicator flashes.
The machine recovers quickly when [OK] is pressed. The machine also automatically recovers and prints when a job is
detected.
If print data is received during Sleep, the print job is performed while the message display remains unlit.
To use the printer, press [OK] . The printer will be ready to use within 15 seconds (P-4030D/P-4030DN/P-4530DN), 20
seconds (P-5030DN), or 25 seconds (P-6030DN).
Note that ambient environmental conditions, such as ventilation, may cause the machine to respond more slowly.
For more information about configuring settings, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep timer timeout time) on page 4-90 .
Energy Saver Mode
This mode reduces power consumption even more than quick recovery mode, and allows Sleep mode to be set separately
for each function.
To use the printer, press [OK] . The time required for the printer to wake up from sleep mode and resume normal operation
will be longer than for quick recovery mode.
For more information on Energy Saver settings, refer to Sleep Level Set. (Sleep level setting) on page 4-88 .
Power Off Timer
If the printer is not used while in sleep mode, the power automatically turns off. The Power Off Timer is used to set the time
until the power turns off. The factory setting for the time until the power turns off is 1 hour.
IMPORTANT You can set the power off rule and power off timer. For details, refer to Power Off Rule (Power Off Rule
setting) on page 4-90 and Power Off Timer (Power off timer settings) on page 4-91 .
In case of not using the printer for an extended period of time
CAUTION Remove paper from the cassettes and seal it in the paper storage bag to protect it from humidity.
IMPORTANT Cautions when setting the Energy Saver mode
• The data stored on the RAM disk is deleted when the machine goes into Energy Saver mode.
• The machine will not recover from sleep mode if printing data is received from a computer via a USB cable. (P-4030D
will recover.)
• An ID card is not recognized when in Energy Saver mode.
CAUTION If this printer will be left unused for an extended period (e.g. overnight), turn it off at the power
switch. If the printer will not be used for an even longer period of time (e.g. vacation), remove the power
plug from the outlet as a safety precaution.
