How can i disable the Option Shut Down After Inactivity?

I only have the options 2h, 4, 8h, but not disable.

I worked with an disabled option for years, but today i tried if the ShutDown option works.

Yes :-), but how to disable again???

I am not aware of this option. 🤔


Set the following values:

Additionally activate the analog fax. The line must be connected directly to the router.
Then the printer should only switch to the inactive state after 1 minute.
However, the printer does not switch off!

> I am not aware of this option.

Sorry, if I have used imprecise wording. 

I meant it had worked for years before without me having to manually turn on the printer every morning. I also never had a fax mode active and I never had to plug a fax cable from the printer into the router. 

What has happened to my printer that it now switches off completely every evening?
Why can't I deactivate this unwanted behavior again?

 

> Additionally activate the analog fax.
By the way, where can I activate the analog fax?
Under the main menu “Fax” I only have the sub-items “Receive options”, “Phone book”, “Junk fax list” and “Fax activity log”.

 

> The line must be connected directly to the router.

Do you mean a cable with "line"?

Because this printer does not have such a “Disable” power settings switch!

 

Then it is better to shut down the Ducker automatically after 2 hours of inactivity.

The printer can then be switched on again the next day and then all other systems too.

 

This feature was available in the past. But that was a very long time ago!

I hope I was able to help you.
