Date & Time
Purpose:
To set the date and time, and regional time zone of the printer.
Va l u e s :
Paper Density
Purpose:
To specify the paper density.
Va l u e s :
*1  Enter 5 in Sleep to put the printer in the Sleep mode five minutes after it finishes a job. 
This uses less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer. Enter 5 if your 
printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
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 5 and 30 minutes for the power saver timer 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 Sleep mode when it 
receives data from the computer. You can also return the printer to the standby mode 
by pressing any button on the operator panel.
*2If more than 20 jobs are in the queue, the job history may be cleared.*3The default for mm/inch varies depending on country-specific factory default.
