Hi @TaffyL 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Thank you for reaching out—setting up sleep mode is a great way to conserve energy and extend your printer’s life. To set up sleep mode on your HP ENVY 6100e, use the printer’s touchscreen to adjust the sleep timer under Settings > Sleep Mode.

 

Let’s walk through the steps to customize the sleep timer so your printer rests when it’s not in use.

 

Access the Dashboard

  • On the printer’s touchscreen, swipe down from the top to open the dashboard.

 

Open Settings

  • Tap the gear icon to enter the Settings menu.

 

Navigate to Sleep Mode

  • Scroll down and tap Sleep Mode.

 

Set the Sleep Timer

  • Choose how long the printer should wait before entering sleep mode. You can select a time between 5 minutes and 1 hour.
  • Tap OK to confirm your selection.

 

Once set, the printer will automatically enter sleep mode after the selected period of inactivity. It will wake up when you send a print job or interact with the control panel.

 

 

If you’ve already explored the menu, I appreciate your effort—it’s always helpful to know what’s been tried. Let me know if the option doesn’t appear or if the screen behaves differently, and I’ll guide you further.

 

 

If my response helped, please mark it as an Accepted Solution It helps others and spreads support. 💙 Also, tapping "Yes" on "Was this reply helpful?" makes a big difference! Thanks! 😊

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
