Printer Power Options
The ProJet® MJP 2500W and ProJet® MJP 2500 IC printer goes into lower power modes when it has been idle for a period of time. After 120 minutes, the printer will enter Standby mode. After 9 hours, the printer will enter Conserve mode. The UI status will display as in Standby during this time. Sending a print job or interacting with the front panel will start warming up the printer. The printer can be placed in conserve mode by selecting "Standby" in the Tools > Printer Shutdown tabs.
| ProJet® MJP 2500W / IC | Standby | Conserve |
|---|---|---|
| Low power mode (idle state) | 120 minutes | 9 hours |
| Ready State (from low power mode) | 8 minutes | 20 minutes |
Printer Shutdown
If you do not plan on operating the 3D printer system on a regular basis and want to shut it down for an extended period of time, follow these steps:
- Verify that the printer is not building.
- Select Tools (1) from the top tool bar.
-
Select Shutdown (2) on the Tools menu screen.
- Next, select Printer Shutdown.
- The next message that pops up is asking to confirm if you want to shutdown the printer. Select SHUT DOWN.
- The SHUTTING DOWN screen will appear next. This lets the user know that the printer is shutting down and not to take any action.
- A message will then come up that states it is now safe to turn the power switch off. Turn off the printer switch on the back of the printer.

NOTE: Unless the printer will be idle for an excessively long time (>60 days) it is not necessary to shut it down. Shutting down the printer will cause longer wait times for warming, because it is warming from a cold state. |

NOTE: Whenever the printer is powered down, wait 60 seconds before toggling the power switch back on. |
