Use this item to set how long the printer remains idle before
it enters Sleep mode.
Sleep mode offers the following advantages:
■ Minimizes the amount of power consumed by the printer
when it is idle
■ Reduces wear on electronic components in the printer
(turns off the display backlight, but the display is still
readable)
The printer automatically comes out of Sleep mode when
you send a print job, press a printer control panel button,
open a tray, or open the top cover.
To turn sleep mode on and off, see Sleep Mode in the
Resets submenu (HP LaserJet 4250/4350 only).
