Basic Operation 39
Power Saver Mode
The printer has a power saving feature which reduces power consumption during periods of inactivity.
This feature operates in two modes: the Mode1 and Mode2. The power consumption of the printer in
Mode2 is lower than in Mode1. As delivered, the printer switches to the Mode1 five minutes after the
last print job is printed. The printer then switches to the Mode2 after another six minutes of inactivity.
When the printer is in the Mode1, the display shows Ready/Standby. In the Mode2, all lamps on the
operator panel except for the (Energy Saver) button go out. The display also goes blank and
displays nothing.
The factory default settings of five minutes (Mode1) and six minutes (Mode2) are changeable within the
range of 5 to 30 minutes (Mode1) and 1 to 6 minutes (Mode2). The printer returns to the ready-to-print
state in about 25 seconds when re-activated.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically exits the Power Saver Mode when it receives a print job from a computer. To
manually exit the Mode1, press any button on the operator panel. To exit the Mode2, press the
(Energy Saver) button.
NOTE:
• Opening and closing the rear door will cause the printer to exit the Mode1.
• When the printer is in the Mode2, all buttons on the operator panel except for the
(
Energy Saver
) button
do
not function. To use the buttons on the operator panel, press the
(
Energy Saver
) button
to exit the Power
Saver Mode.
