Saving energy

If your printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, then use the Local Printer Settings Utility for Windows or Printer Settings for Macintosh. If your printer is connected to the network, then use the Embedded Web Server.

Note: Some features are available only in select printer models.

Using Sleep and Hibernate modes

Sleep mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity.

Hibernate mode is an ultralowpower operating mode. When operating in Hibernate mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely. When in Hibernate mode, the printer does not respond to print jobs.

Note: Sleep and Hibernate modes can be scheduled. For more information, see “Using Schedule Power Modes” on page 75.

Using the Embedded Web Server

1Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

Notes:

Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

2Click Settings > General Settings > Sleep Button Settings.

3From the “Press Sleep Button” or “Press and Hold Sleep Button” menu, select Sleep or Hibernate.

Notes:

When Press Sleep Button is set to Sleep or Hibernate, press the Sleep button for less than three seconds to set the printer to Sleep or Hibernate mode.

When Press and Hold Sleep Button is set to Sleep or Hibernate, press and hold the Sleep button for more than three seconds to set the printer to Sleep or Hibernate mode.

4Click Submit.

Note: If the printer is in Hibernate mode, then the Embedded Web Server is disabled.

Using the printer settings on the computer

Depending on your operating system, access the Setup menu using the Local Printer Settings Utility or the Sleep Mode menu using the Printer Settings.

Adjusting Sleep mode

To save energy, decrease the number of minutes the printer waits before it enters Sleep Mode.

Available settings range from 1 to 120 minutes. The factory default setting is 30 minutes.
