Panasonic KX-PS8100 User Manual

To conserve energy and operating cost, this printer is provided with a 
programmable power saver feature. The printer is factory set with the power 
saver feature turned on to comply with E

NERGY

 S

TAR

® requirements. If set 

to On, the printer automatically turns to power saver mode when there are 
no print jobs received or access to the printer 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.

=Default setting)

The Network Port Setup menus allow you to specify and set up a printer 
port type, including: Ethernet (if optional Ethernet card is installed) or Token 
Ring (if optional Token Ring card is installed).

•

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.
