Sleep Timer Setting
This printer is equipped with a sleep timer function for conserving energy in cases where there has
been no operation from the control panel or data has not been received for a predetermined period of
time.
The sleep timer can be set anywhere from 0 to 120 minutes in 5-minute increments. Setting the
sleep timer to 0 turns it off. The sleep timer is set at the factory to 30 minutes.
Once the set time arrives, the printer will display Sleeping and all indicators will go out. This
minimizes the amount of energy used.
Pressing a key on the control panel, opening and closing a cover, or sending data to the printer while
it is displaying Sleeping will cause the printer to display Please wait and it will begin
warming up. After it warms up, the printer's ON LINE indicator will light and it will enter ready status.
Note ____________________________________________________________________
•
The printer environment last set is still maintained even though all indicators are out while the
printer is in Sleeping mode.
•
To have the printer enter sleep mode a set period of time after printing, press the CANCEL key
one time while the display reads Ready. The printer will enter sleep mode after about five
seconds. Note however that sleep mode will not result if the sleep timer setting is set to 0.
