Auto-Off
Auto-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When Auto-Off is enabled,
the printer will automatically turn off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off
turns the printer off completely, so you must use the On button to turn the printer back on. For printer
models with wireless or Ethernet network capability, Auto-Off is automatically disabled when the
printer establishes a wireless or Ethernet network connection. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the
printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
You can change the Auto-Off setting from the printer software.
