Setting the Power Save Mode
The Power Save mode conserves electricity by reducing the amount
of power the printer uses when it has been idle for a length of time
specified in the printer control panel. The default setting is 60 minutes
(60 MIN). However, the Power Save mode can be adjusted to start
between 10 seconds and 8 hours after the last print job finishes. The
printer fans will run for 30 minutes after entering Power Save mode to
cool the printer.
Note
The 10 seconds setting is for use by service personnel and is not
recommended for daily use.
To set the Power Save mode
1 Press MENU until CONFIGURATION MENU appears on the printer
control panel display.
2 Press ITEM until POWERSAVE appears on the display.
3 Press -VALUE+ until the interval you want (between 30 minutes
and 8 hours) appears on the display.
4 Press SELECT to save the selection. An asterisk (*) appears to the
right of the selection.
5 Press GO to bring the printer online.
Selecting Parallel Advanced Function
If the printer is not correctly interpreting data transmitted across the
ECP (enhanced capability parallel) port, turn the parallel advanced
functions off to send the printer into compatibility mode. Compatibility
mode turns the bidirectional communication off so that an
HP LaserJet fax or other peripheral between the host computer and
the printer will work correctly.
Note
You must have the parallel advanced functions turned off for a
peripheral connected between the host computer and the printer to
work correctly.
