The manual said to leave printer switched on all the time, when doing this the wifi light on but also the light above the paper tray is on all the time, i have managed to turn the brightness down, but it is still on, how do I know if the printer is on standby when this light is on

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether the printer is in standby mode or not.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

The printer will go to sleep mode after five minutes of inactivity (Or based on the set time) however, when you print something the printer will wake up automatically and start printing. The printer will be in standby or sleep mode all the time.

 

The Auto Off 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 the printer back on. If your printer supports this energy-saving feature, Auto-Off is automatically enabled or disabled depending on printer capabilities and connection options.

 

● Auto-Off is always enabled if the printer does not have network or fax capability.

● 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.

 

I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
