More Features
The printer has the following useful features:
Sleep Mode
When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (timeout), it enters sleep
mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The default timeout is 5
minutes, it is automatically adjusted to the most suitable time-out setting depending on the
frequency of your printer use (Intelligent Sleep Mode). While the printer is in sleep mode, all
the LEDs are off and it is as if the printer was turned off, however the printer can still receive
data from the computer. The printer automatically wakes up when it receives at print file or
document. Pressing the button also wakes up the printer.
Note
When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the printer engine has
cooled down.
Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how long
the printer has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take
up to 45 seconds. The
Ready
LED will blink to indicate that the printer is warming up.
You can change the timeout for sleep mode with the supplied printer driver (all models) or
Remote Printer Console program. Refer to the Help section in the printer driver or RPC
program for more information about the sleep mode setting.
