Changing the Power Saver timeout

The Power Saver timeout is the time it takes for the printer to switch to Power Saver mode when the printer is left idle. The Power Saver feature optimizes energy efficiency by reducing the printer power consumption (as much as 28 percent on some printer models) compared to the default printer settings. To save the most energy, select the lowest Power Saver timeout.
