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

  1. 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.
