Set Date and Time

When you set up the printer for the first time, you are asked to set the date and time. To change the date and time after the initial setup, use the control panel to change the settings. You can also use date and time settings to:

• enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization

• set energy savings

• set other timing functions for the printer

To change date and time settings:

1. At the control panel, press the Machine Status button, then touch the Tools tab.

2. Touch System Settings > Common Service Settings > Device Clock/Timers.

3. To change a setting:

   1. Touch a setting, then touch Change Settings.

   2. Select an option, then touch Save.

   As needed, use this method to change the following settings:

   • Date: Set the date format and date.

   • Time: Set the time using a 12-hour or 24-hour format.

   • NTP Time Synchronization: If you have a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, set the clock in the printer to synchronize with your NTP server.

   • Connection Interval: Specify how often the printer connects to the NTP server.

   • Time Server Address: Specify the NTP server address.

   • Auto Clear: Specify the amount of inactive time before the control panel resets to the default screen.

   • Auto Job Release: Set auto job release on or off.

   • Auto Print: Set the time period to start the next print job after you operate the control panel.

   • Printer Lockout: To set up printer lockout, use the Embedded Web Server.

   • Time Zone: Set the time difference from GMT.

   • Daylight Savings: Set the daylight savings time, if necessary. During daylight savings, the printer automatically increments the clock forward by one hour.
