Timeouts

Purpose

Values and descriptions

Standby Mode

Touch the LCD screen (soft buttons) or press

Disabled

any of the control panel hard buttons to exit

(wake up) from this mode.

2–240 (15*)

Disabled—Disables Standby Mode.

 

 

2–240—Specifies the amount of time in

 

minutes that the MFP waits before the LCD

 

dims to 15% brightness.

 

 

Power Saver Mode

It sets the number of minutes that pass after

Disabled

entering 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 control panel 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 LCD returns to the home

 

screen due to inactivity.
