OCaution: It's very important to protect the printer controller board from electrostatic damage while performing this task. If an anti-static wrist

strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but turned off). Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present. Turn off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn't an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you perform this task.

If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components and before removing the controller board cover.

Redischarge your body each time after walking around and before touching the printer controller board again. Handle the tray carefully, and try to handle it by the edges only.

You will also find important information regarding special disassembly and assembly instructions pertaining to your printer.

Energy Conservation

Your printer is compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star regulations. The EPA Energy Star Computers program promotes the use of energy-efficient personal computers, monitors, and printers and the reduction of air pollution caused by power generation.

Operation

After a user-specified period of inactivity, the printer changes to a lowpower state (the engine remains on, but the fuser turns off). When a print job is received, the printer returns to normal power within 90 seconds.

»Note: The addition of some optional interfaces, in some combinations, may cause the product to become non-compliant.

Configuration

The Energy Saver option specifies if and when the printer changes to a low-power state. When an idle time is selected, the printer must
