Setup from the Front Panel and WebSetup
To conserve energy and operating cost, this printer is provided with a 
programmable power save feature. The printer is factory set with the power 
save feature turned on. If set to On, the printer automatically turns to energy 
saving mode when there are no print jobs received or access to the front 
panel for more than 30 minutes. This mode can reduce the total power 
consumption of the printer to less than 35 watts. Full power mode is 
restored when the printer receives a job or when you press the Menu/Exit 
button or print a page at the printer.
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet or Token Ring, the printer 
can receive print jobs from a computer through its high-speed parallel port. 
If no network card is installed, the printer is connected to a computer via the 
parallel port.

The Network Port Setup menus allow you to specify and set up a printer 
port type, including: Ethernet (if optional Ethernet card is installed), Token 
Ring (if optional Token Ring card is installed), or parallel port.
NOTES:
Ethernet and Token Ring options appear only if an optional Ethernet or 
Token Ring card is installed.
The settings do not become effective until the printer reboots or the 
printer is turned off and on. So if you just change the settings in Network 
Port Setup and do not change the settings in Network Protocol Setup, you 
have to turn off and on the printer.
Before you set up the printer for a Novell IPX network, be sure you have set 
up the Novell servers as described in “Setting up IPX (Novell) printing” on
