Managing the Printer Power
This function allows you to manage the printer power from the printer driver.
The procedure for managing the printer power is as follows:
Power Off
The Power Off function turns off the printer. When you use this function, you will not be able to turn the printer on from the printer driver.
Select Power Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility2
Execute power off
Click Power Off, and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.
The printer power switches off.
Important- You cannot receive faxes when the printer is switched 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 printer when data is received.
The Auto Power Off function automatically turns off the printer when there are no operations from the printer driver or the printer for a specified period of time.
Select Power Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility2
Check that the printer is on, and then click Auto Power
A dialog appears.
Note- If the printer is off or if communication between the printer and the computer is disabled, an error message may appear because the computer cannot collect the printer status.
If necessary, complete the following settings:
- Auto Power On
- Specifying Enable from the list will turn the printer 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 printer, the printer is turned off automatically.
Apply the settings
Click OK. When the confirmation message appears, click OK.
The setting is enabled after this. When you want to disable this function, select Disable from the list according to the same procedure.
Important
- When you use the printer by connecting it to a telephone line via a modular cable, you can set Auto Power Off but the power will not be turned off automatically.
