Power Saver Mode
The printer has an energy saving feature that reduces power consumption during periods of inactivity. This feature
operates in two modes: the Low Power mode and Sleep mode. As delivered, the printer switches to the Low Power
mode one minute after the last print job is printed. The printer then switches to the Sleep mode after another one
minute of inactivity. When the printer is in the Low Power mode, the LCD backlight turns off. In the Sleep mode, the
(Wake Up) button lights up, and the LCD backlight turns off. In the Sleep mode, the display also goes blank and
displays nothing.
The factory default settings of one minute (Low Power Timer/Sleep Timer) are changeable within the range of 1 to
60 minutes (Low Power Timer) and 1 to 6 minutes (Sleep Timer). The printer returns to the ready-to-print state in
about 30 seconds when re-activated.
NOTE:
•
The functions of Low Power Timer and Sleep Timer cannot be disabled.
