Turn printer on and off
TipThe printer is Energy Star compliant and can be left powered on without wasting energy.
Leaving it on improves response time and overall system reliability. When the printer has not
been used for a certain period of time (30 minutes by default), it saves power by going into sleep
mode. However, any interaction with the printers front-panel display returns it to active mode,
and it can resume printing immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see 
Change the sleep
mode setting...

TipIt is strongly recommended to leave the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid
wasting ink and time.
