Dim mode
After some time with no activity (5 minutes by default), the printer goes to dim mode, which reduces the
brightness of the front panel by 25%. Any activity, such as the use of the front panel or the arrival of a print job,
ends dim mode and restores normal brightness. After some time in dim mode (15 minutes by default), the
printer changes to sleep mode. The time periods can be changed from the front panel.
Sleep mode
Sleep mode puts the printer into a reduced power state after a period of inactivity, turning o some elements to
save energy. Printer features can be enabled from this mode, and the printer maintains network connectivity,
waking up only as necessary.
The printer can be woken from sleep mode any of the following ways:
● By pressing the power button
● By opening a door or drawer
● By sending a print job
The printer wakes up in several seconds, more quickly than if it is completely turned o. While in sleep mode, the
power button blinks.
To change the time that elapses before sleep mode, see Change system options on page 12.
Printer Monitoring (with the Print Spooler) and Remote Printer Management with the HP Utility and Web
JetAdmin continue to be available during sleep mode. Some remote management tasks oer the option of
remotely waking up the printer if needed to perform the task.
