3 HOURS Set the printer to enter PowerSave after it has
been idle for a specified amount of time.
Turning PowerSave off is not recommended.
The PowerSave feature does the following:
• Minimizes the amount of power consumed
by the printer when it is idle.
• Reduces wear on the printer’s electronic
components. (Turns off the display’s
backlight.)
When you send a print job, press a control
panel key, open a paper tray, or open the top
cover, the printer automatically comes out of
PowerSave mode.
Note
PowerSave turns off the backlight on the
display, but the display is still readable.

PS Select the default printer language
(personality). Possible values are determined
by which valid languages are installed in the
printer.
Normally you should not change the printer
language (the default is
AUTO ). If you change
it to a specific printer language, the printer will
not automatically switch from one language to
another unless specific software commands
are sent to the printer.
