Tip The printer is Energy Star compliant and can be left powered on without wasting energy.
Leaving it on improves response time and overall system reliability. When the printer has not
been used for a certain period of time (30 minutes by default), it saves power by going into sleep
mode. However, any interaction with the printer's front-panel display returns it to active mode,
and it can resume printing immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see Using your printer
on DVD.
NOTE In sleep mode, the printer wakes up from time to time to do maintenance service to the
printheads. This avoids the need of doing long preparation after long idle periods.
The printer has three levels of power consumption.
●
Plugged in: the power cord is plugged into the back of the printer
●
Switched on: the switch at the back of the printer is in the on position
●
Powered on: the Power key on the front panel shows a green light
If you wish to turn the printer on or off or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to use
the Power key on the front panel.
However, if you plan to store the printer indefinitely or the Power key does not seem to work, you are
recommended to power it off using the Power key, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.
