Power Saver Mode
The printer has a power saving feature which reduces power consumption during periods of inactivity. This feature operates in two modes: low power mode and sleep mode. As delivered, the printer switches to the low power mode five minutes after the last job is finished. The printer then switches to the sleep mode after another six minutes of inactivity. When the printer is in the low power mode, the display shows
Ready to Print
and the LCD backlight turns off. In the sleep mode, all lamps on the operator panel except for the (
Power Saver
) button go out. The display goes blank and nothing more appears.
The factory default settings of five minutes (Low Power Timer) and six minutes (Sleep Timer) are changeable within the range of 5 to 30 minutes (Low Power Timer) and 1 to 6 minutes (Sleep Timer). The printer returns to the ready-toprint state in about 28 seconds when re-activated.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically exits the power saver mode when it receives a job from a computer. To manually exit the low power mode, press any button on the operator panel. To exit the sleep mode, press the (
