Menu I cannot access the menu. When I press the menu/OK button,  only 2 options show - energy saver, and then self test. can someone tell me how I can access the menu? Thanks Frank [email protected]

To take a Xerox 7835/55 copier out of energy saver mode, you can try the following steps:

1. Press the "Power" button to turn on the copier.
2. Press the "Home" button to access the home screen.
3. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the "System Settings" option and press the "OK" button.
4. Navigate to the "Power Management" option and press the "OK" button.
5. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the "Energy Saver Timeout" option and press the "OK" button.
6. Use the arrow keys to select the desired timeout value (e.g., "Off") and press the "OK" button.
7. Press the "Home" button to return to the home screen.

If these steps do not work, or if you are unable to access the System Settings menu, the energy saver mode may be locked by the administrator. In this case, you will need to contact the administrator to have the energy saver mode unlocked.

Perform Tap 41 PRINTHEAD Health Diagnostics Test, along with supporting service level/diagnostic tests (service menu access procedures do vary by HP printer model, refer to HP printer diagnostics document, pages 45-47, to view normal display messages, http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1813 )

7.Check the 4th line at the top of the printed report; an electrically good/stable PRINTHEAD will state "Pen Status: Pen OK".........if any other message is displayed then the PRINTHEAD may have failed and may need to be replaced. Re-seat PRINTHEAD and/or clean rear electrical contacts and repeat 'Tap 41' test to verify connectivity is not the issue.

* Failure of the PRINTHEAD has nothing to do with refilled ink cartridges; the PRINTHEAD assembly is a separate electronic unit in which the cartridges plug into and feed ink into. Refer to NOTE below.


4) To rule out printer/cartridge connectivity (assembly interface/connection) issues please ensure you have followed all steps on HP's support page - this includes PRINTHEAD removal and thorough cleaning of the electrical surfaces on the PRINTHEAD and on the CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY:
http://www8.hp.com/h22157/video-gallery/us/en/customer-care/printers-and-all-in-ones/replace-ink-and-toner/2286857593001/replacing-the-printhead---hp-officejet-pro-8600-e-all-in-one-printer/video/

For HP Officejet 6600 / 6700 printer models which suffer a calibration error, more than likely either the PRINTHEAD has connectivity issues (i.e. remove, clean all contact points, and reinstall), compatible/clone ink cartridge chips are causing the issue, the PRINTHEAD is approaching end of life, or not all ink nozzles are firing and therefore the printer is unable to calibration. Perform the following diagnostic checks to help make a determination:

Hello

You are refering about energy saving function I thinks. To energise this function, surf through its menu and come towards energy saver.

This power saving feature reduces the backlight

brightness level. The options are:

• OFF-the feature is off and the power consumption

is normal.

• LOW-power saving level is low and the backlight

brightness level is lower than normal.

• HIGH-power saving level is high and the backlight

brightness is set to the lowest level.

1 Use the CURSOR Up or Down keys to highlight

Energy Saver. Press ENTER.

2 Use the CURSOR Up or Down keys to select Off, Low,
or High.

NOTE:The Energy Saver settings level varies with
the Picture / Sound mode.
OK.

You may have a bad system board, but try this first.

Press

Unplug power cord in the rear of the machine

While holding down the ENERGY SAVER key, plug in power cord

Scroll down to SHIPMENT SET

Press SET

Press 2

Wait for the machine to initialize.

Try maxing out your power save timers. Here are the instructions. I suspect the machine is going into power save mode to quickly. Here is how you do that.

NOTE: To save energy, the printer enters a power saver, low-energy consumption mode after a predefined period of time since its last activity. In this mode, most printer electrical systems are shut down. When a print job is sent to the printer, the printer enters the Warm-up Mode. You can also warm up the printer by pressing the [OK] button on the Control Panel.
If the printer is going into Power Saver mode too often and you do not want to wait while the printer warms up, increase the length of time before the printer goes into the Power Saver mode.
Modify the timeout value:

1. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button on the Control Panel to select [Printer Setup] on the Display Screen, and then press the [OK] button.
2. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Printer Controls], and then press the [OK] button.
3. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Power Saver Timeout], and then press the [OK] button.
4. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select the required timeout value (30 - 240 minutes), and then press the [OK] button.
   
   NOTE: Select a larger timeout value to extend the length of time before the printer goes into the Power Saver mode.
   
   
5. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Exit], and then press the [OK] button to return to the Main screen.

Here you go.

To enable or disable the Power Saver (Energy Star) mode:
NOTE: The printer will only have the Power Saver menu selection if the printer was sold as an Energy Star machine.The Power Saver mode can only be enabled or disabled from the Control Panel.

1. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button on the Control Panel to select [Printer Setup] on the Display Screen, and then press the [OK] button.
2. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Printer Controls], and then press the [OK] button.
3. Press the [Up] or [Down] arrow button to select [Power Saver], and then press the [OK] button.
4. Press the [OK] button until the required option is displayed; either 'On' or 'Off'.
5. Press the [Down] arrow button to select [Exit], and then press the [OK] button to return to the main screen.

If you enter the config menu, you can turn off energy conserve. You enter the config menu by turning off the printer, holding the center and right arrow, and powering the printer on. Continue to hold the buttons until you see Performing self test. Then you will see config menu. If you scroll down to energy conserve and select it. You can change the option to off. This will disable power saver.
