| Powering on/off the printer and putting the printer in sleep mode |
Power on/off the printer
- Insert the power cable into the power port on the back of the printer and the other end into the power socket.
- Find the Power switch on the back of the printer and press it upwards. If the screen of the printer's touch panel lights up, it indicates that the printer is powered on. To power off the printer, toggle off the Power switch.
Sleep mode
If no operation is performed on the printer for five minutes, the printer will enter sleep mode by default. In this case, all indicators on the touch panel will turn off. You can touch the touch panel to wake the printer up from sleep mode.
When the printer is connected to a computer, you can open the HUAWEI Print client or access the printer homepage of PC Manager, touch the More icon in the upper right corner of the screen to open the device settings screen, and follow the onscreen instructions to set the time for the printer to sleep.
Deep sleep mode
When the printer is not connected to the Internet or any other device, it will enter deep sleep mode after 25 minutes of being idle. A printer in deep sleep mode cannot be connected to due to the fact that wireless features (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) and ports (LAN port and USB-B port) are disabled. You can touch the touch panel to wake the printer up from deep sleep mode.
