6-8 Phaser 360 Color Printer
Printer standby modes
Normal standby
When the printer is idle for more than 4 hours, it goes into a standby mode
that keeps the printer ready to use yet reduces energy consumption.
The printer exits standby mode when you send a Þle to the printer, press any
front panel button, install or remove a media tray, or open any cover. For
example, adding ink causes the printer to exit standby mode. When the
printer exits this standby mode, it is ready to print in about 5 minutes.
Energy Star mode
For printers ordered with the Energy Star option, the Energy Star default is
set to 1 hour. After an hour of inactivity, the printer cools down completely,
requiring you to wait 10Ð15 minutes to let the printer warm up before using
it again.
Because the printer uses ink during warm-up from a power-off condition
and when exiting the Energy Star mode, you can reduce ink consumption by
leaving the printer on. Always leaving the printer on, even during long
periods when the printer is not used, ensures optimum printing
performance and the best ink economy.
Increasing the Energy Star value from 1 hour keeps the printer ready for
printing and eliminates the warm-up period. The recommended setting is
999 hours. You can change the Energy Star mode through the front panel or
through your web browser (refer to the PhaserShare Networking System
Administrator Manual).
