Other Control Features

The printer has the following useful features;
5.5.1

Sleep mode

When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (timeout), it enters sleep
mode. The default timeout is 5 minutes and it is automatically adjusted to the most suitable
time-out setting depending on the frequency of your printer use (Intelligent Sleep Mode).
While the printer is in sleep mode, all the LEDs 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 button 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. The fan running time varies depending on the sleep mode timeout because
the fan running conditions are defined as follows;
1) The fan runs for 10 minutes whenever printing finishes.
2) The fan runs while the printer is in ready status.
3) The fan runs for at least 5 minutes after the printer goes into sleep mode.
(EX: If the timeout is 5 minutes, the fan will be running for 5 minutes after the printer goes into
sleep mode.)
• Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of the room and how long
the printer has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take
up to 25 seconds. The Ready LED blinks to indicate that the printer is warming up.
• You can change the timeout for the sleep mode with the supplied printer driver (all
models) . The time-out setting is in the range of 1 to 99 minutes. Refer to the Help section
in the printer driver for more information about the sleep mode setting.
