Apple ColorLaserWriter 12/600PS - Manual (Page 272)

Sometimes printing the first page takes longer than I expect.
The printer automatically goes into an energy-saving mode after it’s been idle
for a while. When you print while it’s in this mode, the printer takes about
three minutes to warm up before it can print the first page.
The printer administrator can adjust this feature by using the Apple Printer
Utility on a Macintosh computer (see Chapter 2) or the Apple Printer Utility
for Windows on a Windows computer (see Chapter 3).
