Other Control Features
Sleep Mode
When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time (time-out), it enters
sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the machine was turned off. The default time-
out is 5 minutes. While the machine is in sleep mode, all the lamps are off and it is as
if it was turned off, but the machine can still receive data from the computer. Receiving
a print file or document automatically wakes up the machine to start printing. Pressing
the switch also wakes up the machine.
Note

 When the machine goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the print engine
has cooled down.

 Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how
long the machine has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up
time can take up to 30 seconds. The Ready lamp blinks to indicate that the machine
is warming up.

 You can change the timeout for sleep mode with the supplied machine driver or
Remote Printer Console program . Refer to the Help section in the printer driver or
RPC program for more information about the sleep mode setting.
