Power Saver
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time (in minutes) the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes into a
reduced power state.
Values:
The factory default Power Saver setting depends on your printer model. Print the menu settings page
to determine the current Power Saver setting. When the printer is in Power Saver mode, it is still ready
to receive print jobs.
Select 1 to put the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes a print job. This uses much
less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Select 1 if your printer shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer
ready to print with minimum warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and 240 minutes if you want a
balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
If the Disabled value is not available from the Power Saver menu item, see Disabling Power Saver for
more information.
Print Timeout
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time (in seconds) the printer waits before printing the last page of a print job
that does not end with a command to print the page. The print timeout counter does not start until
Waiting is displayed.
