Power Saver Mode

The Power Saver feature allows the press to enter a reduced power consumption mode when all print jobs have completed and there are no jobs currently processing. There are two power saving modes: Low Power and Sleep.

•Low Power: After remaining inactive for a preset time period, the press enters the Low Power mode.

•Sleep: After entering Low Power mode and remaining inactive for another preset time period, the press enters the Sleep mode.

By default, the press automatically enters the Low Power mode after 1 minute of inactivity. After 1 minute of inactivity, the press then enters Sleep mode. These time intervals for both modes can be changed by the system administrator.

Refer to the following example:

•Low Power Mode is set to 1 minute.

•Sleep Mode is set to 10 minutes.

•Sleep Mode activates after 10 minutes of total inactivity and not 10 minutes after the Low Power Mode begins.

•You can set up your job to insert preprinted tabs into your document.

•Use one tray for the body pages, another tray for the preprinted tab stock, and another tray for cover or back pages.

•While you can print tab stock from any of the paper trays on the system (Trays 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), the recommendation is to use Trays 6, 7, 8, or 9 for best results.
