Power Saver Time

The time interval you specify for this parameter sets the amount of idle time
before the printer goes into Power Saver mode. When Instant is chosen, the
printer goes into Power Saver mode as soon as it is able to stop the shuttle
properly. The time allotted to perform this function depends upon the shuttle
timeout value which can be set in the menu.

NOTE:

Power Saver Mode will not be shown on the control panel even
though the function still exists. Sending a print job to the printer will
turn off Power Saver mode.
