NOTE
Sleep mode

You can select [5], [10], [15], [30], [60], [90], [120], [150], or [180] minutes for [Time to Enter Sleep Mode]. The default value is [30] minutes. You can also configure the printer not to enter the sleep mode.
Sleep mode is canceled in the following cases:
  • When printing
  • When calibrating the printer
  • When correcting "out-of-register colors"
  • When cleaning the printer
  • When the front cover is opened or closed
Power consumption when the printer is off

Even when the power switch is set to "|" (off), the printer consumes a small amount of power while the power cord is plugged into an AC outlet.
To completely stop printer power consumption, unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet.
