The printer language defines how the computer communicates with the printer. Your computer

 

uses printer languages, such as PCL emulation and PostScript 3 emulation, to send print data

 

to the printer. Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent the software appli-

 

cation from sending print jobs that use the other printer language.

 

 

 

 

Power Saver

1…240 (20*)

 

 

The Power Saver menu item lets you reduce power usage when the printer is idle. The Power Saver setting determines the length of time (in minutes) the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state.

When the Power Saver value you have selected has elapsed, the message Power Saver replaces the Ready message on the operator panel display when the printer is in a ready state. This is the printer default. Both messages indicate the printer is ready to receive jobs.

If your printer is in constant use, select a high setting, such as 240. Under most circum- stances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. However, it also uses more energy.

Setting Power Saver to 1 puts the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes printing each job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. If your printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering, you may want to set Power Saver to 1.

If you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period, select a Power Saver value between 1 and 240 minutes.

Note: If the printer has been configured to send or receive fax data, the Power Saver/Fax Screen is displayed which includes a fax status field to provide quick fax status information to the user.
