							Power Saver Mode
The printer has a power saving feature which reduces power consumption during periods of
inactivity. This feature operates in two modes: Mode 1 and Mode 2. The power consumption of the
printer in Mode 2 is lower than in Mode 1. As delivered, the printer switches to the Mode 1 five
minutes after the last print job is printed. The printer then switches to the Mode 2 after another six
minutes of inactivity. When the printer is in the Mode 1, the display shows Ready/Standby. In the
Mode 2, all lamps on the operator panel except for the 
 (Energy Saver) button go out. The display
also goes blank and displays nothing.
The factory default settings of five minutes (Mode 1) and six minutes (Mode 2) are changeable within
the range of 5 to 30 minutes (Mode 1) and 1 to 6 minutes (Mode 2). The printer returns to the
ready-to-print state in about 25 seconds when re-activated.
