after ve minutes of inactivity.
Use the following instructions to change the period of inactivity before the printer sleeps.

touch ( Setup ).
NOTE: If you do not see the Home screen, touch (Home).
2. Touch Power Management, touch Sleep, and then touch the desired option.
Auto- o
This feature turns the printer o after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-O turns the
printer o completely, so you must use the Power button to turn the printer back on.
If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-O is automatically enabled or disabled depending
on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-O is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
● Auto-O 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-O is disabled when a printer’s wireless 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.
TIP: To conserve battery power, you can enable Auto-O, even when the printer is connected or
wireless is turned on.
CAUTION: Always turn the printer o properly, using (the Power button) located on the front left side of
the printer.
If you improperly turn the printer o, the print carriage might not return to the correct position, causing
problems with the cartridges and print quality issues.
Quiet Mode

printing on plain paper. Additionally, Quiet Mode is disabled if you are printing using the best or presentation
print quality. To reduce printing noise, turn on Quiet Mode. To print at normal speed, turn Quiet Mode o.
Quiet Mode is o by default.
