Timeouts
Sleep Mode
Disabled
1–60
Set the amount of time in minutes the printer waits after a job is
printed before it goes into a reduced power state.
Notes:
• 20 is the factory default setting.
• Lower settings conserve more energy, but may require
longer warm‑up times.
• Select the lowest setting if the printer shares an electrical
circuit with room lighting or you notice lights flickering in the
room.
• Select a high setting if the printer is in constant use. Under
most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print
with minimum warm‑up time.
• Disabled appears only if Energy Conserve is set to Off.

new print jobs are waiting.
