Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is
designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
Power Saver modes are enabled on your device to reduce energy consumption. After the last print, the
device transitions to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is
not used for a specified period, the device transitions to Low Power mode, then to Sleep mode. In these
modes, to enable reduced-power consumption, only essential functions remain active.
The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits the Power Saver modes than it takes to
print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up and is typical of most imaging
devices on the market.You can set a longer activation time or completely deactivate the Power Saver
mode. This device can take longer to switch to a lower energy level.
To change the Power Saver settings, refer to Power Management Settings.
Note: Changing the default Power Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy
consumption of the device. Before you turn off Power Saver modes or set a long activation time,
consider the increase in device power consumption.
