• When the printer is idle for the time set in the Energy Star front panel menu, the printer cools down completely. When the printer exits the Energy Star mode, it is ready to print in about 90 seconds.
• The Energy Star default is set to 1 hour. After an hour of inactivity, the printer begins a cool-down cycle that requires a 90-second warm-up period before being ready to use again.
• Increasing the Energy Star value from 1 hour keeps the printer ready for printing and eliminates the warm-up period. For typical office environments, set the value to 3 hours.
• For optimum printing performance and best toner economy, leave the printer turned on overnight and during weekends.
