Set the amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before
it goes into a reduced power state.
Notes:
• “30 min” is the factory default setting.
• “Disabled” appears only when Energy Conserve is set to Off.
• Lower settings conserve more energy, but may require
longer warm‑up times.
• 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.
To wake the printer from Sleep mode, try one of the following:
• Press any hard button on the printer control panel.
• Open the front door of the printer.
• Remove paper from the standard bin.
• Send a print job from the computer.
• Load paper in the multipurpose feeder.
• Turn off the printer, and then turn it back on.
