1Auto Power On

Available settings: [Disable], [Enable], [Enable (No Main Button)]

Default setting: [Disable]

This parameter determines how the printer responds when it is connected to an AC or DC power outlet.

Disable - The printer enters sleep mode, using minimal power. To turn on the printer, press the (Power) button.

Enable - The printer turns on automatically. This is useful in situations where the

(Power) button is difficult to access.

Enable (No Main Button) - The printer turns on automatically. The

(Power) button cannot be used to turn off the printer. This is useful in situations where the button could be accidentally pressed. To turn off the printer, disconnect the printer from the AC or DC power outlet.

2Auto Power Off(AC/DC/Li-ion)

Available settings: [None], [10 Minutes], [20 Minutes], [30 Minutes], [40 Minutes], [50 Minutes], [60 Minutes]

Default setting: [None]

This parameter determines how much time passes before the printer turns off automatically to conserve power when it is being powered by AC power, DC power, or a rechargeable Li-ion battery. If no data is received for the specified amount of time, the printer turns off.

3Auto Power Off(Ni-MH)

Available settings: [None], [10 Minutes], [20 Minutes], [30 Minutes], [40 Minutes], [50 Minutes], [60 Minutes]

Default setting: [10 Minutes]

This parameter determines how much time passes before the printer turns off automatically to conserve power when it is being powered by the rechargeable Ni-MH battery. If no data is received for the specified amount of time, the printer turns off.

If the printer is connected to an AC or DC power outlet while a rechargeable Ni-MH battery is installed, the setting selected for [Auto Power Off(AC/DC/Li-ion)] has priority over this parameter.

4Refresh Ni-MH Battery

Available settings: [Do Not Refresh], [Each Time], [Every 5 Times], [Every 10 Times] Default setting: [Do Not Refresh]

This parameter determines how frequently the Ni-MH battery is refreshed. For example, if [Every 5 Times] is selected, the rechargeable Ni-MH battery is refreshed one time for every five times the battery is charged.

For details on the refresh and charge operations for the rechargeable Ni-MH battery, see Charging the Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery on page 3.
