302 Understanding the Printer Menus
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. In most circumstances, this
keeps the printer ready to operate with minimum warm-up time. Select a value
between 1 and 30 minutes for power save mode if you want a balance between
energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
The printer automatically returns to the standby mode from the power saver
mode when it receives data from the computer. You can also change the status of
the printer to the standby mode by pressing any button on the operator panel.
