When no print data is received for 5 minutes, the printer will enter the low power mode. When no data is received for a further 10 minutes (a total of 15 minutes lapse (default settings) since the last received data), it will enter sleep mode. You can specify whether the printer goes into low power mode or sleep mode. The time ranges to specify for the printer to go into low power mode or sleep mode are 5 to 60 minutes respectively. Consumption of power during the sleep mode is 10 W or less and the time required to exit from the sleep mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
