Installation and operation precautions

Automatically canceling the settings (automatic panel reset)

If no operation is performed for a specified length of time while settings are
being changed, settings that have not been programmed are cleared and re­turn to their default settings.

This is the automatic panel reset operation.

As the factory default, the automatic panel reset operation is performed after
1 minute.

!

Detail

The length of time until the automatic panel reset operation is performed
and whether or not it is performed can be set from the Utility mode. For
details, refer to “User Setting” on page 4-24.

Automatically conserving energy (Low Power mode)

If no operation is performed for a specified length of time, the control panel
goes off and the machine automatically enters a mode where it conserves
energy.

This is the Low Power mode.

The machine can receive jobs even while it is in Low Power mode.

As the factory default, the machine enters Low Power mode after 10 minutes.

To recover from Low Power mode

When a print job is received, the machine recovers from Low Power mode
and begins printing after it has finished warming up (within 30 seconds at
normal room temperature (23 °C)).

Installation and operation precautions

Automatically conserving energy (Sleep mode)

If no operation is performed for a specified length of time, the machine auto­matically enters a mode where it conserves energy.

Although the machine conserves more energy in Sleep mode than in Low
Power mode, the machine must warm up when Sleep mode is canceled to
begin printing again, therefore taking more preparation time than Low Power
mode.

As the factory default, the machine enters Sleep mode after 15 minutes.

To recover from Sleep mode

When a print job is received, the machine recovers from Sleep mode and be­gins printing after it has finished warming up (within 99 seconds at normal
room temperature (23 °C)).

Detail

Although the IP address is entered without using the DHCP server in the
procedure described here, it is also possible to automatically assign the
IP address from the DHCP server. When “DHCP Setting” is set to “Ena­ble”, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address settings are au­tomatically assigned from the DHCP server on the network, so it is not
necessary to assign them manually. However, note the following when
setting “DHCP Setting” to “Enable”.

Check with the network administrator that the DHCP server exists. If the
DHCP server does not exist, be sure to specify settings for “IP Address”,
“Subnet Mask”, and “Default Gateway”.

If the settings for the IP address and other items have been assigned us­ing the DHCP server, there is a possibility that they may be automatically
changed. When the settings for the IP address and other items are
changed, if the IP address has been used to specify a printer on the net-
