2.9. Sleep (Ecopower) Mode
The printer has a sleep timer to conserve power when the printer is not printing, processing, or receiving
data. You can adjust the timer value, the length of time the printer waits before entering sleeping mode in
the absence of data.
Any value from 0 to 120 [minutes] (the factory setting is 30 [minutes]) can be entered in 5-minute incre-
ments. You can use the or key to move the cursor back and forth through the figures to rapidly set a
large value.
If the printer receives no data for the period adjusted as above, it times out and enters into sleeping mode,
indicatingý6OHHSLQJ on the message display. When you send data for printing to the printer again or
press a key on the control panel, the printer starts warming up, indicatingý3OHDVH ZDLW, and becomes
ready and on-line.
Opening and closing the printer's top cover or drawing out and closing the current paper cassette also awak-
ens the printer to start warming up and become ready.
The printer also enters into sleeping mode if it times out while MODE SELECTing, or requesting the addi-
tion of paper or toner, indicating the appropriate maintenance message on its message display.
☛ The printer environment last set is still maintained even though all indicators are out while the
printer is iný6 OHHSLQJ mode.
