„Sleep Time
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. The default setting for timeout is 1 minute. If you want to 
change the sleep time, choose Manual and then enter the time in the text box on the driver. 
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.
