Saving energy

Your Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS meets Energy Star guidelines for saving
energy. By default, the printer enters an energy-saving mode after it’s been
idle for 60 minutes. You can adjust the idle delay by using the Apple Printer
Utility on the Macintosh or the Apple Printer Utility for Windows.

You can also save energy on the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, as well as on
all other printers (including those without energy-saving features), by taking
these steps:

m Use the page preview feature provided in many programs to check page

layout rather than printing a draft.

m If you know you won’t be using the printer for a while—say, a three-day

weekend—turn it off.
