Printer standby modes

Normal standby

When the printer is idle for more than 4 hours, it goes into a standby mode that keeps the printer ready to use yet reduces energy consumption.

The printer exits standby mode when you send a Þle to the printer, press any front panel button, install or remove a media tray, or open any cover. For example, adding ink causes the printer to exit standby mode. When the printer exits this standby mode, it is ready to print in about 5 minutes.

Energy Star mode

For printers ordered with the Energy Star option, the Energy Star default is set to 1 hour. After an hour of inactivity, the printer cools down completely, requiring you to wait 10Ð15 minutes to let the printer warm up before using it again.

Because the printer uses ink during warm-up from a power-off condition and when exiting the Energy Star mode, you can reduce ink consumption by leaving the printer on. Always leaving the printer on, even during long periods when the printer is not used, ensures optimum printing performance and the best ink economy.

Increasing the Energy Star value from 1 hour keeps the printer ready for printing and eliminates the warm-up period. The recommended setting is 999 hours. You can change the Energy Star mode through the front panel or through your web browser (refer to the PhaserShare Networking System

Administrator Manual).
