I changed the settings for my printer (HP Deskjet 3520) on line a while ago so it goes into sleep mode after a set amount of time. I want to change this back but can't remember how to do it. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

To change Auto Power-Off setting 1. From the Control Panel home screen, which displays Copy, Scan, and Quick Forms, select Settings. NOTE: If you do not see the home screen, press the Back button until you can see it. 2. From the Settings menu on the printer display, select Preferences. 3. From the Preferences menu, select Auto-Off. 4. From the Auto-Off menu, select On or Off, and then press Continue to confirm the setting. TIP: If you are printing over a wireless or Ethernet connected network, Auto Power-Off should be disabled to ensure that print jobs do not get lost. Even when Auto Power-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

 

Let me know if this helps.
