Saving Energy with Power Save
To reduce the amount of power it consumes, your printer has an adjustable
Power Save feature. Power Save shuts down the printer’s fuser after the
printer has been idle for a specified amount of time.
The Power Save feature is both adjustable and optional. You can set Power
Save to start after the printer has been idle for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1
hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours, or you can turn Power Save off. By default, Power
Save is set to ON. and the amount of idle time is set to 30 minutes.
When the printer is in Power Save mode, the printer’s control panel displays
the message 00 POWERSAVE, which replaces messages on the control panel
(such as 00 READY or 00 OFF LINE).
Note
Error messages override the Power Save message. When an error condition
is present, the printer displays the error message. At the appropriate time,
the printer goes into Power Save, but the error message continues to be
displayed.
The printer automatically warms up when you send a print job to the
printer, press a control panel key, load or remove paper, or open the front
cover.

You can change this setting using the software that came with your printer
