lose buffered page data or printer configuration settings when you
select these items. Only reset the printer under the following
circumstances:

you want to restore the printer’s default settings

communication between the printer and computer has been
interrupted

you are using both the serial and parallel I/O ports, and one of the
ports is having problems

The reset and restore items in the Resets Menu will clear all memory
in the printer, while

accessory.

POWERSAVE=

ON

ON

OFF

This item turns PowerSave mode on or off.
PowerSave mode does the following:

• minimizes the amount of power consumed

by the printer when it is idle

• reduces wear on the printer’s electronic

components (turns off the display’s
backlight)

When you send a print job, press a control
panel key, open a paper tray, or open the top
cover, the printer automatically comes out of
PowerSave mode.

You can set how long the printer remains idle
before it enters PowerSave mode (see the

POWERSAVE TIME

in the “Configuration Menu”

on page 219).

Note

PowerSave turns off the backlight on the
display, but the display is still readable.
