Using printer menus
Power Saver Specifies the amount of time (in
minutes) the printer waits after a job
is printed before it goes into a
reduced power state.
Disabled This value does not appear unless
Energy Conserve is set to Off. See the
User’s Guide for more information.
1...240 Specifies the amount of time after a
print job before the printer goes into
Power Saver mode. (The printer may
not support the entire range of values.)
The factory default Power Saver
setting depends on the printer model.
Print the menu settings page to
determine the current Power Saver
setting. When the printer is in Power
Saver mode, it is still ready to receive
print jobs.
Select 1 to put the printer in Power
Saver mode one minute after it
finishes a print job. This uses much
less energy, but requires more warm-
up time for the printer. Select 1 if the
printer shares an electrical circuit with
room lighting and flickering lights are
noticed.
Select a high value if the printer is in
constant use. Under most
circumstances, this keeps the printer
ready to print with minimum warm-up
time. Select a value between 1 and
240 minutes if wanting a balance
between energy consumption and a
shorter warm-up period.

an alarm when the printer requires
operator intervention.
