Purpose

Values and descriptions

Standby Mode	Touch the LCD screen or press any of the
Disabled	hard buttons to exit (wake up) from this mode.
	Disabled–Disables Standby Mode.
1—240 (15*)
	1—240–Specifies the amount of time in
	minutes that the MFP waits before returning
	to the home screen.
Power Saver Mode	It sets the number of minutes that pass after
Disabled	exiting Standby Mode before the MFP goes
	into a reduced power state called Power
2—240 (60*)
	Saver Mode.
	If Standby Mode is disabled, which is
	considered a setting of 0, then Power Saver
	Mode is the number of minutes of inactivity
	that occurs before entering Power Saver
	Mode.
	Print the menu settings page to determine the
	current Power Saver setting. When the MFP
	is in Power Saver Mode, it is still ready to
	receive print jobs.
	Disabled–Disables Power Saver Mode.
	Disabled is not available if Energy Conserve
	is set to On.
	2—240 (60*)–Specifies the amount of time
	after exiting Standby Mode or after finishing a
	print job before the MFP goes into Power
	Saver mode.
	For example, select 15 to put the MFP in
	Power Saver mode 15 minutes after it finishes
	a print job. This uses much less energy, but
	requires more warm-up time for the MFP.
	Select 15 if your MFP shares an electrical
	circuit with room lighting and you notice lights
	flickering. Select a high value if the MFP is in
	constant use. Under most circumstances, this
	keeps the MFP ready to print with minimum
	warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and
	240 minutes for a balance between energy
	consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
	Note: When the MFP enters Power Saver
	Mode, for the entire duration in this mode,
	Screen Brightness is set to 15. Touch the LCD
	screen or press any of the hard buttons to exit
	(wake up) from this mode.
Screen Timeout	Disabled–Disables Screen Timeout.
15—300 (30*)	15—300–Specifies the amount of time in
	seconds before the control panel returns to
	the home screen due to inactivity.
