with fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
Schedule On and O
Use this feature to automatically turn the printer on or o on selected days. For example, you can schedule the printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn o at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you save energy during the night and weekends.
