I appreciate the answer to this questions, but have you considered situations where the printer is in a guest bedroom?  I have to turn off the printer whenever we have guests and then I get emails from you regarding not being connected.  Maybe you should consider a SW update such that it goes to sleep when not in use.

Fully agree, a definite design flaw; it's distracting and an unnecessary waste of energy

Thanks for that great tip. It doesn’t solve the “issue” but it makes it a little more bearable. Not sure why the  engineers thought constantly on was a good idea but what are you gonna do. 
Again, thanks.

Waste of energy and annoying blue light on.
