Power Saver Modes
This 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 5 minutes, the printer will enter
the low power mode. When no data is received for a further 10
minutes (a total of 15 minutes lapse (default settings) since the last
received data), it will enter sleep mode. You can specify whether the
printer goes into low power mode or sleep mode. The time ranges to
specify for the printer to go into low power mode or sleep mode are
5 to 60 minutes respectively. Consumption of power during the sleep
mode is 10 W or less and the time required to exit from the sleep
mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
Note
• You can also enable either the low power mode or sleep
mode.
• Both low power mode and sleep mode cannot be
disabled at the same time.
• The sleep mode setting has precedence when both the
low power mode and sleep mode are enabled. For
example, when the sleep mode and low power mode
time have been set to 15 minutes and 45 minutes
respectively, the printer will go into sleep mode after no
data has been received for 15 minutes. It will continue
to remain in sleep mode and will not go into low power
mode after a further 30 minutes.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically cancels its power save status once it
receives data from the computer.
