Power Saver Timer
CAUTION:
If the Power Off Timer feature is set and the power is turned off, stored data in RAM Disk is cleared.
Purpose:
To specify the time for transition to power saver mode.
Va lues:
When you specify 1 minute for Sleep, the printer enters power saver mode 1 minute after it finishes a job. This
uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Specify 1 minute if your printer shares an
electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. In most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to operate
with minimum warm-up time.
Select a value between 1 and 60 minutes for the power saver mode if you want a balance between energy
consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
The printer automatically returns to the standby mode from the power saver mode when it receives data from the
computer. You can also change the status of the printer to the standby mode by pressing the (Power Saver)
button on the operator panel.
If the Power Off Timer feature turns off the printer, the printer cannot be turned back on automatically. To turn the
printer back on, physically turn the power switch of the printer to On.
Auto Reset
