Manage PowerTo conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features:
Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will enter Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
To change the time to Sleep mode
1.From the Home screen on the printer control panel, press the (Setup) button.
2.Using the buttons on the right, scroll to and select Preferences, select Sleep, and then select the desired option.
Schedule On and Off
Use the printer's Schedule On and Off feature, and then select the days and time you want the printer to turn on and turn off automatically. For example, you can schedule the printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn off at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you will save energy during the night and weekends.
To configure the printer's Schedule On and Off feature
1.From the Home screen on the printer control panel, press the (Setup) button.
2.Using the buttons on the right, scroll to and select Schedule On/Off, and then set the time to turn on and off the printer.
Conserve Printing SuppliesTo conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
•Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.
•Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
•Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. You can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over, and then print just the even pages.
