Notes:

Cartridge Alarm. Single sounds three quick beeps.

Punch Alarm. Off means no alarm will sound.

Timeouts
Standby Mode
Disabled
1–240
Specifies the number of minutes of inactivity before the system
enters a lower power state
Note: 15 minutes is the factory default setting.
Timeouts
Sleep Mode
Disabled
1–240
Specifies the number of minutes of inactivity before some
systems begin entering a minimum power state
Notes:
• 30 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.
Timeouts
Screen Timeout
15–300
Sets the amount of time (in seconds) the printer waits before
returning to a ready state
Note: 30 seconds is the factory default setting.
Timeouts
Print Timeout
Disabled
1–255
Sets the amount of time (in seconds) the printer waits to receive
an end‑of‑job message before canceling the remainder of the
print job
Notes:
• 90 seconds is the factory default setting.
• When the timer expires, any partially printed page still in
the printer is printed, and then the printer checks to see if
any new print jobs are waiting.
• Print Timeout is available only when using PCL emulation.
This setting has no effect on PostScript emulation print
jobs.
