Turn printer on and off
TIP:The 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...

When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and prepare
the printheads. Preparing the printheads takes about one minute and 15 seconds. However, if the printer
has been off for six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 55 minutes.
