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.)

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.
