Sleep mode

[Tonyj6743]

How do I know if my printer is in sleep mode. And do the lights go off?

Hi @Tonyj6743,

I'd like to help!

I understand you would like to identify if the printer is in sleep mode.

Sleep mode automatically puts the printer into a lower-power state after a set period of time of non-use. The printer returns to its normal power state when you send another print or scan job.

A printer in sleep mode might display some of the following characteristics:

• The control panel display is dark

• The power light is slowly pulsing

• The power light is dim

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
