The following table is designed to help you understand the power management features available in the HP Setup program, and their association with the power management features in Windows 95. Mode Standby Description Significantly reduces power consumption. In this mode, the display is suspended. The system remains fully working, but runs slower. Any user event, such as from the mouse or keyboard, will instantly cause the system to resume. The timeout duration is defined in the HP Setup program. Suspend Reduces power consumption to a minimum.
