Other Control Features

The printer has the following useful features:

Sleep Mode

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


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


Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your
room and how long the printer 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 printer is warming up.


You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied
printer 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.
