Brother MFC/HL-P2000 manual Switch, Other Control Features, Sleep Mode

CHAPTER 3 PRINT

Switch

This switch will be used for the following purpose depending on the situation.

Cancel printing

If you press the switch during printing, the machine immediately stops printing and ejects the paper.

Wake-up

If the machine is in sleep mode, pressing the switch wakes it up into the ready state.

Form Feed

If the Data lamp is on, press the switch. The machine prints any data remaining in memory: this operation is called “Form Feed.”

Error Recovery

If an error occurs, the machine will recover from some errors automatically. If the error does not clear automatically, press the switch to clear the error and continue machine operation.

Other Control Features

The machine has the following useful features:

Sleep Mode

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time (time-out), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the machine was turned off. The default time-out is 5 minutes. While the machine is in sleep mode, all the lamps are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the machine can still receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document automatically wakes up the machine to start printing. Pressing the switch also wakes up the machine.

✒Note

When the machine goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the ￿machine engine has cooled down.

Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how long the machine has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take up to 30 seconds. The

￿Ready lamp blinks to indicate that the machine is warming up. You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied printer driver or Remote Printer Console program. Refer to the Help section in the printer driver or RPC program for more information about the sleep mode setting.
