Changing the Energy Star timeout
When the printer is idle for the time set in the Energy Star front panel
menu, the printer cools down completely. When the printer exits the
Energy Star mode, it is ready to print in about 90 seconds.
The Energy Star default is set to 1 hour. After an hour of inactivity, the
printer begins a cool-down cycle that requires a 90-second warm-up period
before being ready to use again.
Increasing the Energy Star value from 1 hour keeps the printer ready for
printing and eliminates the warm-up period. For typical office
environments, set the value to 3 hours.
For optimum printing performance and best toner economy, leave the
printer turned on overnight and during weekends.
