Alarm Control
Cartridge Alarm
Staple Alarm
Set an alarm to sound when the printer requires user intervention.
When activated, Alarm Control lets you set the number of times
that the alarm sounds, while Cartridge Alarm lets you stop printing
when a cartridge‑low condition occurs.
For each alarm type, select from the following options:
Off
Single
Continuous
Notes:
• Single is the factory default setting for Alarm Control. This
sounds three quick beeps.
• Off is the factory default setting for Cartridge Alarm and
Staple Alarm. This means no alarm will sound.
• Continuous repeats three beeps every 10 seconds.

Set the amount of time in minutes the printer waits after a job is
printed before it goes into a reduced power state.
Notes:
• 30 is the factory default setting.
• Lower settings conserve more energy, but may require
longer warm‑up times.
• Select the lowest setting if the printer shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting or you notice lights flickering in the
room.

most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print
with minimum warm‑up time.
