Brother HL-600 manual Reprint Function, Sleep Mode

CHAPTER 3 CONTROL PANEL

OTHER CONTROL FEATURES

The printer has the following useful features:

Reprint Function

You can use the FF/CONT switch as a Reprint switch, you can reprint the last printed page without sending it again from your computer.

After you have finished printing, press the SELECT switch to turn the printer off-line and press the FF/CONT switch, so that the printer starts reprinting the last printed page. If you press the FF/CONT switch one or more times during reprinting, the printer reprints the page as many times as you pressed the switch.

✒Note

∙The reprint data remains in the printer’s memory until the printer is reset, the emulation is changed, or some other settings are changed. After you have printed confidential data, be sure to reset the printer to clear it from the printer’s memory.

∙You can enable or disable this reprint function with the supplied Remote Printer Console program. See the software setup guide for more information about RPC.

Sleep Mode

Whether the printer is in the on-line or off-line state, and the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (time out), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The factory set default time out is 15 minutes. While the printer is in sleep mode, all the lamps are off and it is as if it was turned off, but the printer can still receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document automatically wakes up the printer to start printing. Pressing any switch also wakes up the printer.

✒Note

∙This printer has no power switch. The sleep mode handles the power control.

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

∙Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of your room and how long the printer has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take from 5 seconds to 60 seconds. The READY lamp blinks to indicate that the printer is warming up.

∙You can change the time out for the sleep mode with the supplied printer driver and Remote Printer Console program. See the Software setup guide for more information about drivers.
