Setting the Printer Online and Offline
While the printer is on, it can be set online or offline.
When the printer is online, the printer can accept data from the computer to
execute a print job. The printer enters the online mode automatically every
time the printer is switched on.
When the printer is offline, the printer cannot receive data to execute a print
job. The printer goes offline when the printer is switched on with no media
loaded, or the printer can be set offline with the operation panel in order to
use the operation panel menus or to pause a print job temporarily. The printer
also enters the offline mode automatically when a message alerts you about a
problem so you can perform the procedure to correct the problem.
z If the printer does not receive print data for more than 20 minutes, or if the
operation panel is not pressed, the printer automatically enters the sleep mode to
conserve power. As soon as the printer receives print data, or if a button on the
operation panel is pressed, the printer leaves the sleep mode. The printer requires
about 5 seconds to return to full operation.
