Power Saver Mode
This section includes:
• Setting the Power Saver Time on page 24
• Exiting Power Saver Mode on page 24
• Starting Power Saver Mode on page 24
The printer is equipped with a Power Saver mode to reduce power consumption when it is left idle for a
specified period of time. When no print data is received for the duration set in the Power Saver Time,
(30 minutes is the default), the printer enters Power Saver mode. Time ranges from 5 minutes to 60
minutes can be specified, in one-minute increments. Power consumption during Power Saver mode is 8
W or less, and the time required to exit from Power Saver mode to a print-ready status is about 20
seconds.
Setting the Power Saver Time
1. On the printer control panel, press the Menu button.
2. Press the Down Arrow button to go to Admin Menu and then press the OK button.
3. Arrow down to System Setup and then press OK.
4. At Power Saver Time, press OK.
• Do one of the following:
• To increase the amount of time, press the Up Arrow button until the desired time is reached
(maximum is 60 minutes).
• To decrease the amount of time, press the Down Arrow button until the desired time is
reached (minimum is 5 minutes).
5. Press OK.
Exiting Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically cancels Power Saver mode when it receives data from a connected computer.
However, you can cancel Power Saver mode by pressing the Wake Up button on the printer control
panel. For an illustration showing the location of the Wake Up button, see Control Panel on page 21.
Starting Power Saver Mode
If you will not be using the printer for a while and want to switch into Power Saver mode without
having to wait for it to do so automatically from the default settings, press the Wake Up button on the
printer control panel. The printer must currently be idle and have been idle for at least one minute
when you press the Wake Up button. If the printer is receiving data, or is calibrating after having been
in Power Saver mode or having been restarted after a cleared jam, or if you have pressed another
button within the last minute, it will not go into Power Saver mode.
