CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION AND BASIC OPERATION

5.5Control Panel Button Operations

The control panel button is used for the following purposes depending on the situation.

Operation	Description
Cancel printing	If the button is pressed during printing, the printer immediately stops
	printing and ejects the paper.
Wake-up	If the printer is in sleep mode, pressing the button wakes it up into the
	ready status. It will take up to 45 seconds for the printer to go into the
	ready status.
Form feed	If the Data LED is on, press the button. The printer prints any data
	remaining in the printer memory.
Error recovery	If an error occurs, the printer will recover from some errors automatically.
	If the error does not clear automatically, press the button to clear the error
	and continue printer operation.
Reprint function	You can reprint a print job without sending it from the computer again.
	When you press the button with the Data LED off, the printer reprints the
	last job you printed if the whole job can be kept in printer memory. If the
	print job is too large or there is insufficient memory, the last page only will
	be reprinted.

5.6Other Control Features

The printer has the following useful features;

5.6.1Sleep mode

When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (timeout), it enters sleep mode. The default timeout is 5 minutes and it is automatically adjusted to the most suitable time-out setting depending on the frequency of your printer use (Intelligent Sleep Mode).

While the printer is in sleep mode, all the LEDs 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 the button also wakes up the printer.

NOTE:

•When the printer goes into sleep mode, the fan will not stop until the printer engine has cooled down. The fan running time varies depending on the sleep mode timeout because the fan running conditions are defined as follows;

1)The fan runs for 10 minutes whenever printing finishes.

2)The fan runs while the printer is in ready status.

3)The fan runs for at least 5 minutes after the printer goes into sleep mode.

(EX: If the timeout is 5 minutes, the fan will be running for 5 minutes after the printer goes into sleep mode.)

•Sleep mode allows the print engine to cool, so the temperature of the room and how long the printer has been in sleep mode affects the warm-up time. This warm-up time can take up to 45 seconds. The Ready LED blinks to indicate that the printer is warming up.

•You can change the timeout for the sleep mode with the supplied printer driver (all models) or Remote Printer Console program. The time-out setting is in the range of 1 to 15 minutes. Refer to the Help section in the printer driver or RPC program for more information about the sleep mode setting.
