You can also turn the features on or off from the printer software or Embedded web server (EWS).

To open the printer software, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 37. To open the EWS, see Embedded web server on page 118.

2.Touch Sleep, and then touch the desired option.

NOTE: If you change your country or region from the printer control panel, the time to sleep mode is automatcially set to the default, which is 5 minutes.

Schedule On and Off

Use this feature to automatically save energy during evenings and weekends. 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.
