Sleep Time
Setting the Sleep Time reduces power consumption by turning off
the fuser inside the DCP, while it is idle. You can choose how long
the DCP is idle (from 00 to 99 minutes) before it goes into sleep
mode. The timer is automatically reset when the DCP receives PC
data, or makes a copy. The factory setting is 05 minutes. While the
DCP is in sleep mode, you will see Sleep on the LCD. If you try to
print or copy in sleep mode, there will be a short delay while the fuser
warms up to working temperature.
