Power the Printer On and Off

Power Saver

To reduce standby power consumption, you can use Sleep Timeout to set the time that the printer spends idle in Ready mode before the printer transitions to Sleep mode.

Smart Proximity Sensor

The Smart Proximity Sensor detects when a user approaches or leaves the device, using a reflective sensor. This feature provides convenience for users and can reduce power consumption. You can enable the device to wake up and sleep based on the detection of a user.

Powering On the Printer, Or Exiting Sleep Mode

The printer has two power switches. The main power switch, located behind the front door, controls the main power to the printer. The secondary power switch is the Power/Wake button on the control panel. The Power/Wake button controls power to the printer electronic components, and when powered off, initiates a software-controlled shutdown procedure. The preferred method to power on and off the printer is to use the Power/Wake button.

1. 1. To power on the printer, open the front door, then power on the main power switch. On the control panel, press
      the Power/Wake button.
      
      

   2. To enter or exit Sleep mode, press the Power/Wake button.

Note:

• When the printer receives data from a connected device, the printer exits Sleep mode automatically.

• When the printer receives data from a network print job, to reduce power consumption, only necessary electronic components exit Sleep mode automatically. The control panel and the document scanner do not exit Sleep Mode.

• When the printer is in Sleep mode, the touch screen is powered off and unresponsive. To wake the printer manually, press the Power/Wake button, or move into the Smart Proximity Sensor detection zone.

• If Auto Power Off is enabled, the printer powers off automatically after the specified conditions are met. To enable Auto Power Off mode, contact your System Administrator
  
  

CAUTION: Do not plug or unplug the power cord while the printer is powered on.
