Power Saver Modes
This printer is equipped with a Power Save mode to reduce power
consumption when it is left idle. The default idle time from last print
activity until the printer enters Power Saver mode is 5 minutes. This
time can be adjusted by the operator to any of the following times:
5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
When no print data is received within 5 minutes (default) since the
last page is printed, the printer will enter Power Saver mode. An
informative message will appear on the operator panel indicating
Power Saver Mode. Consumption of power during Power Saver mode
is 10 Watts or less, and the time required to exit from Power Saver
mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically exits from Power Saver mode once it
receives data from the computer or if any key on the operator panel
is pressed.
