To save energy, the printer enters a Power Saver, low-energy consumption mode after a pre-
defined period of time since its last activity. In this mode, most printer electrical systems are 
shut down. When a print job is sent to the printer, the printer enters Warmup Mode. You can 
also warm up the printer by pressing the OK button on the front panel.
If you find that the printer is going into Power Saver mode too often and you do not want to 
wait while the printer warms up, increase the length of time before the printer goes into Power 
Saver mode. Change the timeout value as follows:
1.At the printer’s front panel, select Printer Setup, then press the OK button.
2.Select Printer Controls, then press the OK button.
3.Select Power Saver Timeout, then press the OK button.
4.Press the Down Arrow or Up Arrow button to scroll to a selected Power Saver timeout 
value. Select a larger value if you want to extend the length of time before the printer goes 
into Power Saver mode.
5.Press the OK button.

Tray Switching
Tray switching is the printer’s ability to switch between trays that have the same paper type 
and size when a tray runs out of paper.
Tray switching is controlled by the printer driver, front panel, or CentreWare IS.
PCL jobs always use tray switching, but PostScript jobs disable tray switching when a specific 
tray has been selected as the paper source.

Tra y Se que nce
The tray sequence can be set to a particular order, including all or fewer than all trays in the 
printer. When fewer than all trays are set and a job specifies a tray not in the list, tray switching 
from that tray does not occur, even when otherwise enabled.
The tray sequence called Off uses a default sequence which is determined by the number of 
installed trays and the current Paper Source set in the front panel or CentreWare IS. This 
default sequence starts as 2-3-4-1, then removes the not-installed trays, and then moves the 
current Paper Source tray to the front if a specific tray is selected. 
You can specify the sequence the printer uses to select trays containing the correct paper type 
and size for a print job. The tray sequence can be specified using two different methods:
■The printer’s front panel
