HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 14)

Auto-Off
Auto-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When Auto-Off is enabled,
the printer will automatically turn off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off
turns the printer off completely, so you must use the On button to turn the printer back on. For printer
models with wireless or Ethernet network capability, Auto-Off is automatically disabled when the
printer establishes a wireless or Ethernet network connection. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the
printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
You can change the Auto-Off setting from the printer software.
To change Auto-Off setting
1. Depending on your operating system, do one of the following to open the printer software:
● Windows 8: On the Start screen, right-click an empty area on the screen, click All Apps on
the app bar, and then click the icon with the printer's name.

select All Programs, click HP, click HP Deskjet 2540 series, and then click HP Deskjet

printer toolbox.
