Low Power Mode/Sleep Mode
The printer is equipped with a low power mode and a sleep mode to reduce power
consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 3 minutes, the printer will enter the low power mode.
When no data is received for a further 2 minutes (a total of 5 minutes lapse (default) since
the last receiving data), it will enter the sleep mode by default.
The time ranges that can be specified for the printer to enter the low power mode and the
sleep mode are 3 to 60 minutes and 2 to 120 minutes, respectively. Consumption of power
during the sleep mode is 9 W or less and the time required to exit from the sleep mode to a
print-ready status is about 30 seconds.
Note
• You can change the settings so that the printer does not enter the sleep mode.
• For details on the low power mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Basic Operations
(Example: Changing the Low Power Timer)” (P. 64).
Exiting the Low Power Mode/Sleep Mode
The printer automatically cancels the low power mode/sleep mode once it receives data
from the computer.
To manually cancel the low power mode, press one of the buttons on the control panel.
To manually cancel the sleep mode, press the <Power Saver>.
