Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called
Sleep Mode
. The Sleep Mode saves energy
by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is automatically
engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the
Sleep Mode Timeout
.
Factory default Sleep Mode Timeout for this product (in minutes): 30 min.
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 120
minutes. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase
the response time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a high value maintains a fast
response, but uses more energy.
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultra-low power operating mode called
Hibernate mode
. When operating
in Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.

The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be modified
between one hour and one month.
Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop
product power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are
provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product
spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of
each mode's energy usage.
