Changing the Energy Star timeout
  • When the printer is idle for the time set in the Energy Star front panel menu, the printer begins a cool-down cycle that requires a 15 minute warm-up period before being ready to use again.
  • The default for the Energy Star timeout is set to 999 hours.
  • For optimum printing performance and best ink economy, leave the printer turned on overnight and during weekends, and leave the Engery Start default set.

To change the timeout value:

  1. From the front panel, scroll to Menu; press Select.
  2. Scroll to Printer Configuration; press Select.
  3. Scroll to Default Printer Settings; press Select.
  4. Scroll to Advanced Printer Settings; press Select.
  5. Scroll to Energy Star Timeout; press Select.
  6. Use the up or down arrows to set the number of hours the printer must be idle before it enters Energy Star mode.
  7. Press Select to save the Energy Star setting.
  8. Scroll to Exit, press Select to return to the Ready to Print message.
