Sleep Time3
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. When you choose Printer Default the timeout setting will be 1 
minute. Intelligent Sleep Mode automatically adjusts to the most suitable timeout setting depending on the 
frequency of your printer use.
While the printer is in sleep mode, all the LEDs are off, the Status LED lights up slightly, 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.
To turn sleep mode off, from the Advanced tab, click the Other Print Options... and choose Sleep Time. 
Double-click the word Timer Setting (Min.), and the Sleep Time Off function will appear. Click Off to stop the 
printer going into sleep mode. The Sleep Time Off function can be hidden by double-clicking the word Timer 
Setting (Min.) again. We recommend that you keep sleep mode on to save power.
Macro 3
You can save a page of a document as a macro to printer memory. You can also execute the saved macro 
(you can use the saved macro as an overlay on any documents). This will save time and increase printing 
speed for often used information such as forms, company logos, letterhead formats or invoices.
Page Protection3
Page Protection refers to a setting that reserves extra memory for the creation of full-page images.
Selections are Auto, Off and Printer Default.
The page protection feature allows the printer to create the full-page image to be printed in memory before 
physically moving the paper through the printer. Use this function when the image is complicated and the 
printer has to wait to process the image before printing.
