Note Note Setting the Power Save Mode The Power Save mode conserves electricity by reducing the amount of power the printer uses when it has been idle for a length of time specified in the printer control panel. The default setting is 60 minutes (60 MIN). However, the Power Save mode can be adjusted to start between 10 seconds and 8 hours after the last print job finishes. The printer fans will run for 30 minutes after entering Power Save mode to cool the printer. The 10 seconds setting is for use by service personnel and is not recommended for daily use.

Selecting Parallel Advanced Function If the printer is not correctly interpreting data transmitted across the ECP (enhanced capability parallel) port, turn the parallel advanced functions off to send the printer into compatibility mode. Compatibility mode turns the bidirectional communication off so that an HP LaserJet fax or other peripheral between the host computer and the printer will work correctly. You must have the parallel advanced functions turned off for a peripheral connected between the host computer and the printer to work correctly. 46 2 Using the Printer Control Panel EN
