Sleep mode key
After a period of inactivity, the printer goes into a sleep mode (low-power
usage mode). This is indicated by the front-panel display and status
indicators turning off. The indicator light on the front panel is on when the
printer is in standby mode. The printer “wakes up” when you press the sleep
mode key (or any other key) on the printer’s front panel, or when there is any
I/O activity, such as the arrival of a printing job.
Print mode selection
„ Choose Max Speed for the fastest printing. Ideal for checking prints,
when image quality is not very important.
„ Choose Production for fast printing with image quality good enough for
some production purposes. Production mode is available only with
certain paper types.
„ Choose Productivity for a good combination of image quality and
speed.
„ Choose Max Quality for the highest possible image quality.
You can print images in different settings to see which gives the best
combination of throughput and quality for your application. The resolution at
which your print will be printed is summarized in the table below.
