Manage power
Use Sleep Mode, Auto-Off and Schedule On/Off to conserve electricity.

Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will enter Sleep mode
after five minutes of inactivity.
Use the following instructions to change the period of inactivity before the printer sleeps.
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab
at the top of the screen to open
the Dashboard, touch .
2. Touch Sleep Mode, and then touch After 5 minutes, After 10 minutes or After 15 minutes.
Auto-Off
This feature turns the printer off after 8 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off turns the printer
off completely, so you must use the Power button to turn on the printer again.
If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-Off is automatically enabled or disabled depending
on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
• Auto-Off is enabled when the printer is turned on, if the printer does not have network, fax or Wi-Fi
Direct capability, or is not using these capabilities.
• Auto-Off is disabled when a printer’s wireless or Wi-Fi Direct capability is turned on or when a printer
with fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
Schedule On and Off
Use this feature to automatically turn the printer on or off on selected days. For example, you can schedule the
printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn off at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you save energy during the
night and weekends.
Use the following instructions to schedule the day and time for On and Off.
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab
at the top of the screen to open
the Dashboard, touch .
2. Touch Schedule On/Off.
