@KJ996, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To disable the Auto-Off feature on your HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer, you can try one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Find the Printer's IP Address:
- On the printer's touchscreen, tap the Wireless icon to view the wireless summary.
- Note the IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
Access the EWS:
- Open a web browser on a device connected to the same network.
- Type the printer's IP address into the address bar and press Enter.
Navigate to Power Settings:
- In the EWS, go to Settings > Power Management.
- Click Schedule On/Off or Auto-Off.
- Disable the Auto-Off feature or set it to Never.
- Click Apply to save the changes.
Method 2: Using the HP Smart App
- Download and open the HP Smart app (available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android).
- Select your HP ENVY 4520 printer.
- Go to Printer Settings > Advanced Settings.
- Navigate to the System tab > EcoSMART Console.
- In the Auto-Off/Manual On dropdown, select Never.
- Click Apply.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
