Setting the Energy Star Timeout

When the printer is idle for a predetermined amount of time, it enters Energy Star mode, which reduces the power consumption and displays Standby on the printer’s front panel. The printer resumes normal power when it receives a signal, either from the front panel or a file being sent.

By default, the Energy Star mode is enabled and its timeout is set to 1 hour. For normal office environments, it is recommended that you set the timeout to 3 hours. To change this setting, follow these steps.
