Use the
Basic Settings
menu to configure the basic printer settings.
Power Saver Time
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes into the power saver mode.
Values:
Enter 1 to put the printer in power saver mode one minute after it finishes a print job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the
printer. Enter 1 if your printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. Select a
value between 1 and 60 minutes for power save mode if you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
The printer automatically returns to the print mode from the power saver mode when it receives data from the computer. You can also return the printer to the
print mode by pressing any button on the operator panel.
Error Alarm
Purpose:
To establish whether the printer sounds an alarm when an error occurs.
Values:
Job Timeout
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time the printer waits to receive additional bytes of data from the computer. When this timeout expires, the print job is canceled.
