Power Saver Mode
The printer has a power saving feature which reduces power consumption during periods of inactivity.
This feature operates in two modes: the Low Power mode and Sleep mode. As delivered, the printer
switches to the Low Power mode 5 minutes after the last print job is printed. The printer then switches to
the Sleep mode after another 6 minutes of inactivity. When the printer is in the Low Power mode, the
display shows [Ready]. In the Sleep mode, all lamps on the printer console except for the
Energy Saver
button go out. The display also goes blank and displays nothing.
The factory default settings of 5 minutes (Low Power mode) and 6 minutes (Sleep mode) are changeable
within the range of 5 - 60 minutes (Low Power mode) and 1 - 6 minutes (Sleep mode). The printer returns
to the ready-to-print state in about 30 seconds when re-activated.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically exits the Power Saver mode when it receives a print job from a computer. To
manually exit the Low Power mode, press any button on the printer console. To exit the Sleep mode, press
the
Energy Saver
button.
Note:
.
• Opening and closing a cover will cause the printer to exit the Low Power mode and the Sleep mode.
• When the printer is in the Sleep mode, all buttons on the printer console except for the
Energy Saver
button do not function. To use the buttons on the printer console, press the
Energy Saver
button to exit
the Sleep mode.
