Dell 3010cn - Color Laser Printer User manual

Understanding Printer Menus



When your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, the access to the Configure menus can be limited. This prevents other

users from using the operator panel to inadvertently change a printer user default that has been set by the administrator. In this case, you can access the

Stored Print, Tray Settings, and Replace Toner menus only.



However, you can use your printer driver to override printer user defaults and select settings for individual print jobs.

Power Saver Time



Purpose:



To specify the amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes into the power saver mode.

Values:



Select a high value if your printer is in constant use. Under most circumstances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. Select a

value between 1 and 60 minutes for power save mode if you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period.

The printer automatically returns to the print mode from the power saver mode when it receives data from the computer. You can also return the printer to the

print mode by pressing any button on the operator panel.
