Sleep Mode, Low Battery Condition

Page 82 highlights

Sleep Mode When powering the printer with a battery pack, DeskJet 300 Series printers go into "sleep mode" after two minutes of inactivity. (For information on changing the interval, see below.) Sleep mode extends the length of a battery pack charge by minimizing the printer power requirements during periods of inactivity. All printer lights are turned off except for the Power light, which is dimmed. Any one of the following actions will wake the printer from sleep mode: • the printer receives data • a printer button (other than the Power button) is pressed • paper is fed into the printer • the power adapter is plugged in. If the printer is awakened from sleep mode by the pressing of a printer button, the printer ignores the function of that button. However, if the printer is awakened by data that is sent to it, the printer does not ignore or lose any of the data. If the printer is left in sleep mode for 15 minutes1 (or another user-specified interval), the printer will turn off. If the printer powers off, any data sent to it will be lost. You can change the interval after which the printer goes into sleep mode by using the DJPMenu configuration utility2 . The options are 1 minute, 2 minutes (the factory default setting), 4 minutes, and Never. You can also change the interval after which the printer turns itself off; the options are 5 minutes, 15 minutes (the factory default setting), 30 minutes, and Never. See "Additional Configuration Options with the DJPMenu configuration utility" in chapter 2. Note • The printer will not go into sleep mode if the battery pack is being discharged. Low Battery Condition The Power light blinks if the printer detects a low battery condition and the printer is not connected to AC power. The DeskJet 300 Series printers can print approximately 5 monochrome pages after detecting a low battery condition. 1. The HP DeskJet Portable printer is in sleep mode for 30 minutes before turning off. This time cannot be changed. 2. The DJPMenu software cannot change the extended settings on the HP DeskJet Portable printer. 3-26 Operation and Usage

Operation and Usage
Sleep Mode
When powering the printer with a battery pack, DeskJet 300 Series printers go into “sleep mode” after
two minutes of inactivity. (For information on changing the interval, see below.) Sleep mode extends the
length of a battery pack charge by minimizing the printer power requirements during periods of
inactivity. All printer lights are turned off except for the Power light, which is dimmed.
Any one of the following actions will wake the printer from sleep mode:
the printer receives data
a printer button (other than the Power button) is pressed
paper is fed into the printer
the power adapter is plugged in.
If the printer is awakened from sleep mode by the pressing of a printer button, the printer ignores the
function of that button. However, if the printer is awakened by data that is sent to it, the printer does not
ignore or lose any of the data.
If the printer is left in sleep mode for 15 minutes
1
(or another user-specified interval), the printer will turn
off. If the printer powers off, any data sent to it will be lost.
You can change the interval after which the printer goes into sleep mode by using the DJPMenu
configuration utility
2
. The options are 1 minute, 2 minutes (the factory default setting), 4 minutes, and
Never. You can also change the interval after which the printer turns itself off; the options are 5 minutes,
15 minutes (the factory default setting), 30 minutes, and Never. See “Additional Configuration Options
with the DJPMenu configuration utility” in chapter 2.
Low Battery Condition
The Power light blinks if the printer detects a low battery condition and the printer is
not
connected to
AC power. The DeskJet 300 Series printers can print approximately 5
monochrome
pages after detecting
a low battery condition.
1.
The
HP DeskJet Portable
