Power-Saving Mode The TM-L500A RFID has the power-saving mode function to reduce the power consumption. There are 3 statuses, sleeps 1, 2, and 3 in the power-saving mode. For the power consumption during standby in each sleep mode, see "Electrical Characteristics" on page 28. Sleep 1 & Sleep 2 You can set the statuses, Sleeps 1 & 2 to any of the 3 patterns in the table below with the memory switch. • Sleep 1: The printer enters this mode 10 seconds after entering standby status. • Sleep 2: The printer enters this mode 5 minutes after entering standby status. In the default setting (Pattern 1), if the printer does not operate for 10 seconds, the LEDs and the backlight of the LCD become dim, and for 5 minutes, the backlight of the LCD is turned off. They come back on when the printer operates.
