Inkjet printer auto shutdown option does not appear to work

[Cogentia]

I have just set up a HP Smart Tank 7605 All-in-One printer and set the engird saver option for SHUTDOWN to 1 hour however the printer appears to ignore the auto shutdown and remains on with the status light on.

What am I missing?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that the status light is on, I am glad to assist you.

Perform a power reset , Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

1. Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Wait at least 30 seconds.
5. Plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet and printer without any surge protector.
6. Turn on the printer.

Hi, if think that was not the initial Question. i suppose its about the auto shutdown or auto power off after 1 or 2h.
The manual says following, but it doesnt work... For testing purpose i disabled every connectivity capability  and unplugged every cable but the power cord. and yet still, even on the next morning, my smart tank 7305 was still in stand by and not shut down / powered off.

kind regards

Auto-Off

This feature turns the printer off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-Off turns the printer off completely, so you must use the Power button to turn on the printer again.

If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-Off is automatically enabled or disabled depending on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

•  Auto-Off is enabled when the printer is turned on, if the printer does not have network, fax or Wi-Fi Direct capability, or is not using these capabilities.

• Auto-Off is disabled when a printer’s wireless or Wi-Fi Direct capability is turned on or when a printer with fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
