Dell 5100cn Color Laser Printer - Manual (Page 98)

NOTE: Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default menu settings.
Power Saver Time
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes into the power saver mode.
Values:
1–60 min
Specifies the amount of time before the printer enters power saver mode after it finishes a print job.
3 min*
Enter 1 to put the printer in power saver mode one minute after it finishes a print job. This uses much less energy, but
requires more warm-up time for the printer. Enter 1 if your printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you
notice lights flickering.
Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print with
minimum warm-up time. Select a value between 1 and 60 minutes for power save mode if you want a balance between
energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.
The printer automatically returns to the print mode from the power saver mode when it receives data from the computer.
You can also return the printer to the print mode by pressing any button on the operator panel.
Error Alarm
Purpose:
To establish whether the printer sounds an alarm when an error occurs.
Values:
Off*
Does not sound an alarm when an error occurs.
On
Sounds an alarm when an error occurs.
Job Timeout
Purpose:
To specify the amount of time the printer waits to receive additional bytes of data from the computer. When this timeout
expires, the print job is canceled.
Values:
Off
Disables the job timeout.
5–300 sec
Specifies the amount of time the printer waits for additional data before it cancels the job.
