CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

4–7

English: CS3 User’s Guide, Chapter 4

The printer goes into power save mode automatically when the printer has not
received any data or there has not been any switch panel key operation for a
specified time.

There are two power save modes.

In this mode, the printer keeps the minimum temperature (115°C) at

which the printer ink does not become solid.  Power consumption is larger, but
warm-up time is shorter (2 minutes) than mode2.
Mode 2

In this mode,  the printer cools down and power consumption is

almost at the same level as power off.  In this mode, it  requires up to 9.5 minutes
to warm up.

The factory setting of the Power Save Mode is OFF, but once you turn the Power
Save Mode ON, the default time-out   of each mode is set to one hour which
meets the Energy Star power conservation requirements.

Receiving a print file or document, or pressing any button automatically wakes
up the printer to start printing.

✒ Note
 The print head cools down in the Power Save mode.  When the printer wakes

up,  the temperature of your room and how long the printer has been in sleep
mode affects the warm-up time.

 You can change the time out for this mode with the supplied printer driver.
