Using MFP menus
Timeouts Specifies the amount of time
the MFP waits to return to the
home screen, receive an end-
of-job message, or receive
additional bytes of data from
the computer.
Note: Wait Timeout is only
available when using
PostScript emulation. This
menu value has no effect on
PCL emulation print jobs.
Standby Mode
Disabled
2–240 (15*)
Touch the LCD screen (soft buttons) or press
any of the control panel hard buttons to exit
(wake up) from this mode.
Disabled—Disables Standby Mode.
2–240—Specifies the amount of time in
minutes that the MFP waits before the LCD
dims to 15% brightness.
Power Saver Mode
Disabled
2–240 (60*)
It sets the number of minutes that pass after
entering Standby Mode before the MFP goes
into a reduced power state called Power
Saver Mode.
If Standby Mode is disabled, which is
considered a setting of 0, then Power Saver
Mode is the number of minutes of inactivity
that occurs before entering Power Saver
Mode.
Print the menu settings page to determine the
current Power Saver setting. When the MFP is
in Power Saver Mode, it is still ready to
receive print jobs.
Disabled—Disables Power Saver Mode.
Disabled is not available if Energy Conserve is
set to On.
2–240 (60*)—Specifies the amount of time
after exiting Standby Mode or after finishing a
print job before the MFP goes into Power
Saver mode.
For example, select 15 to put the MFP in
Power Saver mode 15 minutes after it finishes
a print job. This uses much less energy, but
requires more warm-up time for the MFP.
Select 15 if your MFP shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting and you notice lights
flickering. Select a high value if the MFP is in
constant use. Under most circumstances, this
keeps the MFP ready to print with minimum
warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and
240 minutes for a balance between energy
consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
Note: When the MFP enters Power Saver
Mode, for the entire duration in this mode,
Screen Brightness is set to 15. Touch the LCD
screen or press any of the control panel hard
buttons to exit (wake up) from this mode.
Screen Timeout
15–300 (30*)
Disabled—Disables Screen Timeout.
15–300—Specifies the amount of time in
seconds before the LCD returns to the home
screen due to inactivity.
