Explanation

 

 

 

POWERSAVE=

OFF

Set the printer to enter PowerSave after it has

30 MINUTES

15 MINUTES

been idle for a specified amount of time.

 

30 MINUTES

Turning PowerSave off is not recommended.

 

The PowerSave feature does the following:

 

1 HOUR

 

• Minimizes the amount of power consumed

 

2 HOURS

 

by the printer when it is idle.

 

3 HOURS

 

• Reduces wear on the printer’s electronic

 

 

 

 

components. (Turns off the display’s

 

 

backlight.)

 

 

When you send a print job, press a control

 

 

panel key, open a paper tray, or open the top

 

 

cover, the printer automatically comes out of

 

 

PowerSave mode.

 

 

Note

 

 

PowerSave turns off the backlight on the

 

 

display, but the display is still readable.

 

 

 

PERSONALITY=

AUTO

Select the default printer language

AUTO

PCL

(personality). Possible values are determined

 

PS

by which valid languages are installed in the

 

printer.

 

 

 

 

Normally you should not change the printer

 

 

language (the default is AUTO). If you change

 

 

it to a specific printer language, the printer will

 

 

not automatically switch from one language to

 

 

another unless specific software commands

 

 

are sent to the printer.
