Sleep Time3
When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the 
printer acts as though it were turned off. When you choose  Printer Default the timeout setting will be 1 
minute. Intelligent Sleep Mode automatically adjust s to the most suitable timeout setting depending on the 
frequency of your printer use.
While the printer is in sleep mode, Back light is off, the LCD shows  SLEEP, but the printer can still receive 
data. Receiving a print file or document or pressing  Go will automatically wake up the printer to start printing.

speed for often used information such as forms,  company logos, letterhead formats or invoices.
