What is sleep mode
When you do not operate the printer, you can reduce the energy consumption with the sleep
mode.
During the sleep mode the printer behaves as follows:
• The control panel is in energy save mode.
• PRISMAsync Print Server remains switched on.
• The print engine and the attached modules are switched off.
When the printer enters and leaves the sleep mode, printhead maintenance is performed. Well
maintained printheads are important for keeping the image quality high and keeping the printer
productive.
NOTE
It depends on the sleep mode configuration how the printer reacts on new scheduled jobs.
What is the sleep button
You use the sleep button in the following situations:
• Put the printer in sleep mode. When the printer is ready, the sleep mode is entered
immediately. When the printer is active, the sleep mode is entered as soon as all scheduled
jobs are printed.
• Wake up the printer from sleep mode.
• Wake up the printer from shutdown mode.
