NOTE
If the printer has entered Power Save Mode 1, the (Online) indicator is off even
when the printer is online, and only the (Ready) indicator and Power indicator
are on. If the printer has entered Power Save Mode 2, only the Power indicator is
on. If the printer receives data while it is in Power Save Mode, the mode is
released, the (Online) indicator comes on, and the printer is ready to print.
Placing the Printer Offline
To configure the printer so that it does not receive data from the computer or
specify the settings for all the items in the SETUP menu, place the printer offline
using the following procedure.
1
Press the (Online) key.
The (Online) indicator goes off, allowing you to specify the settings on the
control panel.
IMPORTANT
This printer comes online automatically if left in the offline state for five minutes or
longer. However, when an error is occurring in the printer (when the (Message)
indicator is on, or the number in the message blinks), or while you are performing
any setting, such as selecting the menu functions or a paper source, or when
specifying the paper size, the printer does not come online.
