Keeping the Printer in Idle Mode
Between printing jobs, the printer can be left unused for up to one week. If the
printer will not be used for more than a week, use the Shutdown wizard to
automatically perform the procedures that must be done before turning off the
printer (see "Shutting Down the Printer" on page 4-38).
When the printer stops printing, the printer software automatically reduces the
temperature of the print heads, as follows:
After printing stops
first 15 minutes
next 1 minute
after Standby 2
Note: The printer mode is indicated in the upper left of the main printer
interface screen (see the figures on pages 4-4, and 4-20).
If, after printing a job, you know that the printer will not be used for 16 minutes
or more, you can immediately turn off the heating of the print heads by putting
the printer into Idle mode.
To put the printer into Idle mode:
➢ From the File menu (in the printer interface) click Exit.
Note: The printer remains in Idle mode until you open the printer application
and begin printing again.
When the printer is in Idle mode, do not turn it off. It can remain in this
mode—with the cover closed—for up to a week. For longer periods, shut
down the printer by running the Shutdown wizard (see "Shutting Down the
Printer" below).
