This printer is equipped with a low power mode and a sleep mode to
reduce power consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 5 minutes, the printer will enter
the low power mode. When no data is received for a further 10
minutes (a total of 15 minutes lapse (default settings) since the last
received data), it will enter sleep mode. You can specify whether the
printer goes into low power mode or sleep mode. The time ranges to
specify for the printer to go into low power mode or sleep mode are
5 to 60 minutes respectively. Consumption of power during the sleep
mode is 10 W or less and the time required to exit from the sleep
mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
NOTE
> You can also enable either the low power mode or sleep mode.
> Both low power mode and sleep mode cannot be disabled at the
same time.
> The sleep mode setting has precedence when both the low power
mode and sleep mode are enabled. For example, when the sleep
mode and low power mode time have been set to 15 minutes and
45 minutes respectively, the printer will go into sleep mode after
no data has been received for 15 minutes. It will continue to
remain in sleep mode and will not go into low power mode after a
further 30 minutes.

The printer automatically cancels its power save status once it
receives data from the computer.
