228 Using the Operator Panel Menus and Keypad
System Settings
Use the System Settings menu to configure a variety of printer features.
NOTE:
• The value marked by an asterisk (*) is the factory default setting.
• General
Purpose:
To configure general settings for the printer.
Power Saver Timer
Purpose:
To specify the time for transition to the power saver mode.
Values:
When you specify 5min for Low Power Timer, the printer enters the power saver mode 5 minutes after it finishes
a job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Specify 5min 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 5 and 30 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 or remote fax machine. You can also change the status of the printer to the standby mode by pressing the
(Power Saver) button on the operator panel.
