Power Management
Learn how to reduce the power or energy use of the printer.
Auto-Off
This feature turns the printer off after a period of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off turns the
printer off completely, so you must use the Power button to turn the printer back on.
If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-Off is automatically enabled or disabled depending
on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
● Auto-Off is enabled when the printer is turned on, if the printer does not have network, fax or Wi-Fi Direct
capability, or is not using these capabilities.
● Auto-Off is disabled when a printer’s Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct capability is turned on or when a printer with
fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
Energy Save Mode or Sleep mode
● Power usage is reduced in this mode.
● After initial printer setup, the printer goes to sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
