Disabled This value does not appear unless

Energy Conserv e is s et to Of f . See th e User’s Guide for more information.

1...240 Specifies the amount of time after a print job before the printer goes into Power Saver mode. (The printer may not support the entire range of values.)

The factory default Power Saver setting depends on the printer model. Print the menu settings page to determine the current Power Saver setting. When the printer is in Power Saver mode, it is still ready to receive print jobs.

Select 1 to put the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes a print job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warmup time for the printer. Select 1 if the printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and flickering lights are noticed.

Select a high value if the printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and 240 minutes if wanting a balance between energy cons um pti on and a shorter warm-up period.

Alarms Controls whether the printer sounds

an alarm when the printer requires operator intervention.
