a print job before the printer goes

 

 

 

into Power Saver mode. (Your

 

 

 

printer may not support the entire

The factory default Power Saver

 

 

 

setting depends on your printer

 

 

 

model. Print the menu settings

Power Saver setting. When the

 

 

 

printer is in Power Saver mode, it

 

 

 

is still ready to receive print jobs.

 

 

 

Select 1 to put the printer in Power

finishes a print job. This uses

 

 

 

much less energy, but requires

 

 

 

more warm-up time for the printer.

 

 

 

Select 1 if your printer shares an

 

 

 

electrical circuit with room lighting

 

 

 

and you notice lights flickering.

 

 

 

Select a high value if your printer is

 

 

 

in constant use. Under most

 

 

 

circumstances, this keeps the

 

 

 

printer ready to print with minimum

 

 

 

warm-up time. Select a value

 

 

 

between 1 and 240 minutes if you

 

 

 

want a balance between energy

 

 

 

consumption and a shorter warm-

 

 

 

up period.
