Managing the Machine Power

This function allows you to manage the machine power from the printer driver.

The procedure for managing the machine power is as follows:

Power Off

The Power Off function turns off the machine. When you use this function, you will not be able to turn the machine on from the printer driver.

  1. Select Power Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

  2. Execute power off

    Click Power Off, and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.
    The machine power switches off.

Auto Power

Auto Power allows you to set Auto Power On and Auto Power Off.

The Auto Power On function automatically turns on the machine when data is received.
The Auto Power Off function automatically turns off the machine when there are no operations from the printer driver or the machine for a specified period of time.

  1. Select Power Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

  2. Check that the machine is on, and then click Auto Power

    A dialog appears.

    Note

    • If the machine is off or if communication between the machine and the computer is disabled, an error message may appear because the computer cannot collect the machine status.

  3. If necessary, complete the following settings:

    Auto Power On
    Specifying Enable from the list will turn the machine on upon receipt of print data.
    Auto Power Off
    Specify the time from the list. When this time lapses without any operations from the printer driver or the machine, the machine is turned off automatically.

  4. Apply the settings

    The setting is enabled after this. When you want to disable this function, select Disable from the list according to the same procedure.

Important

  • If you connect this machine to a network and use it, you can set Auto Power Off but the power will not switch off automatically.
