How to not have the HP M277 printer not shut down EVER.

[medimg]

Has anyone found a way to prevent the printer from turning off after 8 hours. It is totally wireless and there is constant traffic on the wifi network, so why does the printer continue to shut off?

Hi @medimg,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Do not worry, I'd be happy to help you! 

For many HP printers, the auto-shutdown feature is built-in for power-saving purposes. To adjust or disable this feature on an HP M277 printer, you can follow these steps:

Printer Settings: Access the printer's control panel or display screen.

Look for Power Settings: Navigate through the menu or settings options on the printer and search for "Power" or "Energy Settings."

Adjust Sleep or Auto-Off Settings: Within the power settings, there should be options related to sleep mode, auto-off, or power-saving features. Look for settings that control when the printer automatically powers off or goes into sleep mode.

Disable Auto Shutdown: Depending on the printer model, you may be able to disable the auto shutdown feature entirely or adjust the time it takes before the printer shuts down due to inactivity.

Save Changes: Once you've made the necessary adjustments, save the changes or exit the menu to apply the new settings.

Keep in mind that while you can often adjust the auto shutdown feature on many printers, it might not be possible to completely disable it on some models due to safety or energy-saving reasons.

If you can't find the specific option to disable auto shutdown in the printer's settings, contacting HP support for guidance tailored to your HP M277 printer model would be beneficial. They can provide detailed instructions on managing the power settings or inform you if complete disabling of this feature is supported on your printer model.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
