I'm wondering if there's a way to wake my networked Pro 100. When the printer is on (solid white light) I have no problem printing from networked computers but if the light is off, I get the message that the printer is off line. Through the maintenance tab I assume that I can disable the power off and leave it on all the time but that seems a bit wasteful of energy.
Thanks
I took some time to look at my printer settings. Mine is a Pro-1, so your Pro-100 may differ. Does your maintenance tab has a button labeled auto power? Does your maintenance tab have a button labeled instructions? The instructions button will display a web page explaining each operation, including auto power, if available. I have auto power on set to enabled and power off time set to 240 minutes. BTW, the power off button on the maintenance tab sets the printer status to standby instead of offline, so auto power on should still work. (The printer's power button does the same.) I hope that this at least doesn't further muddle the issue.
