Accessing Power Saver

To save energy, the printer enters a Power Saver, low-energy consumption mode after a pre- defined period of time since its last activity. In this mode, most printer electrical systems are shut down. When a print job is sent to the printer, the printer enters Warmup Mode. You can also warm up the printer by pressing the OK button on the front panel.

If you find that the printer is going into Power Saver mode too often and you do not want to wait while the printer warms up, increase the length of time before the printer goes into Power Saver mode. Change the timeout value as follows:

1.At the printer’s front panel, select Printer Setup, then press the OK button.

2.Select Printer Controls, then press the OK button.

3.Select Power Saver, then press the OK button.

4.Press the Down Arrow or Up Arrow button to scroll to a selected Power Saver timeout value. Select a larger value if you want to extend the length of time before the printer goes into Power Saver mode.

5.Press the OK button.

Selecting Output Options

The Phaser 5500 printer has one standard output tray and two optional ones:

Standard Output Tray: Sends prints to the Standard Output Tray on top of the printer.

Stacker Upper Tray: Sends prints to the Stacker Upper Tray on the right side of the printer. This tray is available with the optional finisher or stacker.

Stacker Lower Tray: Sends prints to the Stacker Lower Tray on the right side of the printer. This tray is available with the optional finisher or stacker.
