System Settings
Use System Settings to configure a variety of printer features.
NOTE:
• Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default menu settings.
• Power Saver Time
Purpose:
To specify the time for transition to power saver mode.
Values:
When you specify 1 minute for Sleep, the printer enters power saver mode 1 minute after it finishes a job. This uses
much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Specify 1 minute if your printer shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. In most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to operate
with minimum warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and 60 minutes for Low Power Timer if you want a
balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
The printer automatically returns to the standby mode from the power saver mode when it receives data from the
computer. You can also change the status of the printer to the standby mode by pressing the (Wake UP) button
on the operator panel.
