Slow Paper Slew, Power Saver Time, Printer Control | Compaq 5531

Chapter 4 PRINTER CONTROL

Slow Paper Slew

•Disable. The printer will slew and stack paper at maximum speed.

•Enable. Causes the paper to stack at a slower rate. This ensures that certain forms will stack neatly.

Power Saver Time

Power Saver is also referred to as ENERGY STAR® Office Equipment Program. The Power Saver feature places the printer in “sleep mode” when the printer has not been used for a specified number of minutes. In sleep mode the printer is in low-energy idle state, all fans and higher voltages are off, and only +5Vdc logical circuits are active.

You can designate the number of minutes after which the printer will go into sleep mode. The range time is 15 to 60 minutes. Fifteen minutes is the default.

Pressing any key on the control panel or sending a print job to the printer will turn off sleep mode.
