2540 printer goes to sleep

My new printer 2540 works in all respects with my new Dell 8.1 but he died after a period of time when not in service. Is this normal? I can turn it on and my printing project starts right up, but I've never had a printer go to sleep.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @PRNDL

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see your HP Deskjet 2540 will turn off after a certain period of time. It's the deserving judgment, you can disable automatic.

Go ahead and take a look at your User Guide, page 10 you can disable the automatic stop device.

I hope this helps!

Thank you

  • What printer goes into sleep mode computer stops

    just got a hp7520 as a gift. updated from xp to 7. If the printer goes into sleep mode, the computer shuts down.  currently I'm keeping the printer in demo mode so that it does not expire.  Anyone know how I can use printer without him turning off the computer in normal mode?  I talked about Noone has even heard of that happening.  I hope someone can help. Thank you!

    Hi @JNBLanocha

    My stomach says mt that perhaps you have the printer USB cable connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer instead of a 2.0 port. The image below is some examples of 3.0 ports.

    3.0 ports are supposed to be backwards compatible, but I've seen questions arise.

    I wonder if the cable you are using is the computer and causing problems pulling power. All I can do at this stage is to assume and to gather information. Please post back with the answers to the following questions;

    1. You have a USB connection
    2. If the USB is connected, you use a 2.0 port or 3.0?
    3. Again, if you use a USB connection type, have you tried another USB cable? It could be a cable problem.
    4. You put XP or you remove XP and install Windows 7?
    5. You have your printer connected directly to a power outlet, or you are using a power strip/bar, or a surge protector?
    6. Now this may sound silly, but you have a timer on your computer, such as the hibernate after so many minutes and maybe the computer and the printer are set at the same, it is possible the moment closures / sleep coincide.

    I look forward to hear from you and to work towards a solution.

  • Re: Officejet 6500 has more - printer goes to sleep, wakes.

    Hello

    Location: HP Officejet6500A more - new iMac 27 "with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) - new driver installed OK HP - printer is connected via USB and I turned off the power on the printer wireless.

    After that full power on the work of the printer scans well, work, fax work - but what printer goes to sleep "indicated by the power LED flashes slow" I can't wake him again when sending a new print job - I need to do a full power off/on power by removing the power cable.

    When the printer is "asleep" utility printer HP cannot connect until I do a power full printer deactivation / activation.

    While the printer is in standby, pressing the flashing slow power switch / light has no effect to wake up the printer, only a full power/turn off works.

    I could not find info on the led slow blinking power manual?

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

  • external unknown device after device, hard drive or the printer goes into sleep/hibernation

    I guess that the problem occurs when each device goes into sleep/hibernation because this is happining to only my external hard drive and printer.  All other devices connected by USB have never no problem and will not go to standby or Hibernate. Difficulty I should close down then cold restart without connected device. then after the system is installed and running reconnect the device then it is recognized and works. I tried to just the printer powerdown (cables power and usb for printer peripheral but comp still running while still not recognized after that repower printer and then usb connection get 'unknown device'.)  The only way to obtain a recognized device, DHM or printer is as above full stop and then reconnect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated because it really is a pain and has cost me a printer that I threw out the window, luckly the window was open.  Thanks again for your time and your help very frustrated JK

  • HP 8600 goes to sleep, disappears from the network

    I have a new HP 8600, Windows 7, AT & T router.  Everything works fine except the

    printer goes to sleep and the router can't find it.  The façade is dark and when he woke up

    shows that it is connected to an intense sound signal.  It is not!  I have to turn off wireless, then

    turn on wireless, it takes a few seconds and connect again and I'm back in business.

    Maybe 30 minutes.  If I do not print again it will go back to sleep and unplug it

    network.  I entered in the Setup program and said that it remains available from 12:01:00 to 23:59.

    The printer is in the next room, then it is a pain in the posterior.  I would like that the thing

    to print or scan at ALL times and not (as it seems) when he feels like it.  I read the article on

    routers AT & T but nothing of all this seems to apply in my case.

    I LOVE my printer and the new HP laptop, I just got.  I keep long hours and I want to make my printer

    to stay awake with me.  When my wife is trying to print, and it won't, she YELLS at me from the

    other end of the House.  Help! Please...

    Hello

  • ALL-IN-ONE PHOTOSMART HP 5510 WILL NOT PRINT AFTER GO 'SLEEP' MODE

    My printer model:

    HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 B111A

    Problem:

    Printer goes into sleep mode. After 25-30 minutes breaks the connection between the PC and the printer wireless. Beacon wireless is the same fashionable "sleep" and I see that the printer is connected to my router and there is internet connection. HP Print and Scan doctor sees the printer, but I can't wake the printer unless I restart it.

    What I've tried so far:

    I tried all the solutions offered hp.com; Reinstall driver, updating the printer software, setting static IP on the printer, static DNS servers, using HP print and Scan doctor.

    I've seen people questioned on this issue before and there is no solution. I really need help from HP!

    After days of research, the problem was finally solved! I applied the following steps below. Some steps may be unnecessary, I didn't waste my time knowing who.

    1. find your PC's DNS servers by typing ipconfig/all in CMD.
    2. assign a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For my Linksys router him between 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150. So I put my static IP address as 192.168.1.20.

    To do this, click the button on your printer wireless. This will show the IP address of your printer. This type of your browser. Go/network/network address. Choose manual IP and write 192.168.1.20

    3 now come to section of the manual DNS server, and then type your DNS servers, you found before.

    4. open your HP printer program that must be installed with your driver. Utilities hit and update the IP address. Update your address with your static IP address.

    5. now go to your router settings. Find the wireless settings and change your not automatic standard 20 MHz radio band.

    6. change your standard channel to 6.

    7 find the wireless security and replace your WPA-personal security mode.

    8 disable UPnP

    9. This is the part of the KEY. Change the renewal of your key to 36000 seconds. (10 hours)

    10 go to the Windows Advanced Firewall. Enable all the disabled printer and share, entrants and outbond rules.
    I believe that the most important parts are affecting a static IP address outside your DHCP-range and change the key renewal time. I hope this works for you too

    My PS6520 wireless printer will not print when she goes to sleep, any idea? Thank you

    Hi 464544,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand once that your HP Photosmart 6520 starts in mode "sleep" you cannot send a print job, it does not automatically standby upward.

    Please take a look here:

    The printer into standby mode after five minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy consumption. The sleep time can be changed from the control panel. The printer will wake up mode 'sleep' to print when a print job is sent to it.

    However, the auto power off feature must be disabled. Auto Power-Off turns off the printer completely, you must use the power button to turn the printer back on. You can change the setting Auto Power-Off from the control panel. configuration -Source

    Menu Configuration > other Menus > Eco > auto shut-off > off

    I hope this helps.

  • Monitor poster No. signal then goes to sleep

    I don't know if I write this problem in the right category but that's.

    Lately, whenever I turn on my computer (Pavilion Elite m9291d), my (HP w2207h) display will show a message "not - no Signal, HDMI - VGA signal". "." Then the monitor goes to sleep and blackens. I have to restart 8 times or more, and only by chance I could access my computer.

    Yesterday, I managed to go to the HP online support and to go to the control panel (in Classic view), go to the option to, and click "NEVER" in the screen and the computer advised to sleep options. Then after you save the settings, I'm supposed to go to Device Manager and disable the mouse and keyboard. After that, I have to restart my computer.

    Some can please help me and enlighten me with a few questions:

    (1) why didn't I go to "Classic view" and not the normal display of Vista?

    (2) if it is the problem of the screen, then why do I have to uninstall the keyboard and mouse?

    (3) Will cause the Vista Live Update upset to the setting of the computer?

    I have not tried the above steps again because today, I managed to get into the computer by chance. Help, please.

    My Satellite P10 automatically goes to sleep after 15 minutes. This is a setting that is controlled by Toshiba or the Console of Toshiba power management settings.

    When I change the settings it the system will always standby after 15 minutes. When I go into Control Panel control/Performance and Maintenance/Power Options, it tells me to go to the Toshiba power management to change the settings, but I still see the parameters in grey indicating the standby time of 15 minutes.

    Hello

    The fact is that if Toshiba energy saving is installed on the laptop Toshiba, the Microsoft OS power management doesn't work. You must use the Toshiba power saver to change settings.
    In power save you will find different modes.
    If the power supply is on if you need to change the power mode in the power section. Here, you simply mark the mode full power and click for details.
    You can now find mode properties. Select the Power Saver tab.
    You will find various controls that are responsible for different functions. Change the settings on the standby system controller.
