Timeouts
Sleep Mode
Disabled
1–240
Specifies the number of minutes of inactivity before some systems
begin entering a minimum power state
Notes:
• 5 minutes is the factory default setting.
• A lower setting conserves more energy, but may require
longer warm‑up times.
• Select the lowest setting if the printer shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting.
• Select a high setting if the printer is in constant use. Under
most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print
with minimum warm‑up time.
• Sleep Mode does not interact with Standby Mode.
