Does the printer turn on automatically when you print? Also, does it power off after not using?

Ours is used as a network printer, only occasionally. It goes into a "deep sleep" after a while and it is pretty close to powered off. It wakes up when you print something. Ours is sometimes days or weeks between use at this point and it does fine on waking up. It does take something like 30 secs for the first print after it goes into deep sleep mode.

Printer powers on and prints when I hit the print button...powers off and sleeps in about 5minuites...The power is notcompletely off but in a sleep mode

It goes into a deep sleep based on the timeout you specify. Then wakes up when a print job is received.

Short answer: No, not automatically. However, there are clumsy ways to work around it. I leave the empty ($$$) color cartridge in; ignore the constant bitching; and try to print everything B&W, using Print Preferences for my System, WordProcessor or Document. I've had a long battle with this F4480 printer, after having a wonderful relationship with a similar HP 1200 series printer. The 1200 had cartridges that I refilled dozens of times -- it was easy, and low color simply didn't seem to be a problem. Yes, my F4480 constantly complains about the ($60) cartridges being out of ink. Yet I have found almost no way to simply tell it to print everything Black & White. Only deep in my (Mac OS or WORD or Document) Print Set-up options can I set "Draft" and "Print B&W" etc. (by System, Application or by Document). Generally I just ignore the constant complaining about low color ink -- however, printing an occasional document with any color text will not print that text -- often the most critical data (Date and Time, etc). Note: there are several levels of "Clean Print Heads" - all of which waste increasing amounts of precious ink. You can't win with this printer. So yes it's a problem, and a damned nuisance. A salesman suggested trying to install the latest HP Print Drivers (Fooey, I think they're designed to sell ink). Look through all of your Page Setup or Printer Preference Settings (both System-wide, Word-processor, and Document, Etc). Search for any "Black" Settings, either permanent or per document; and WORST CASE: buy a color cartridge now and then, but NEVER use it. &gt;&gt; And tell HP how unhappy you are.

Unfortunately it is a default settings from all printers. It should help if you push reset then start, if it stops printing mid work.

Why would you want to? That is a key feature of the printer. Long power up time vs. power save, you can't beat it. If you want to, disable power save, for money reasons? Probably not worth the hassle. It's a great feature, mine is on power save as we speak.

The HP D7360 will turn on when a print demand is started. Once started the printer will stay on until it is powered off manually. There will be a period of noise during an initialization as the printer is made ready to print. Then the print job will be completed. Note" There are better printers for less money.

I have had this printer go into automatic cleaning in the middle of the night on several occasions. The manual states that disconnecting the power will have some negative effect on the ink or cartridges. Despite this, unplugging it is the only way that I have found to stop the cleaning process once it has started. I haven't noticed any problems with the ink or cartridges, either (I've had it for about 17 months now). I have also found that if I periodically clean the heads (by pressing the "menu" button, then select "ink", then select "cleaning") it won't clean them on it's own as often. As far as running out of ink, I think that's intended by the company so you will buy more cartridges. I recommend the ink, cartridge, and refill set sold for this brand & model number by "Dinsink". For the price of 2 Brother cartridges (a full refill set is 4), you get cartridges that fit perfectly and are easy to refill. They're also translucent, so you can clearly see that when the printer "can't detect ink", it's usually about 1/3 full! You also get LOTS of ink and I can't see any difference in the color quality. The 4-oz. bottles don't look like much, but it's been about 14 months since I bought these, and I just ran out of ONE bottle of black ink for the first time last month. I've printed dozens of full-color 18" x 24" posters and hundreds of full-color flyers.

When it is idle, it makes some noise but nothing like it does when it fires up to print. Sometimes it quiets down if it hasn't printed for a while, but generally, since it sits right next to me on my desk, its minor motor noise still annoys me. I prefer to shut it off between print jobs.

Hi Mary! Well, the printer arrived today and I was quite pleased with how easy it was to set up. I've only printed a copy of an old photograph (on cheap paper ... you're not suppose to do that but that's all I had available) and it turned out well. It's much quieter than the HP printer I have but don't use, simple to load and $200 less expensive. Once I get a chance to play around with it more I'll update my opinion on it ... wish I could help you more, but I haven't had it long enough. Lia

To save on ink, I leave the printer on all the time so have not had a problem powering up. It does, however, go into sleep mode because of it being an energy saver and so I push the power button and it returns to ready to print.

It has to be plugged in. It's been around for 20 years. When it came out you could buy a battery for it but that may not be available now. Perhaps some other power source could be adapted. It also has a parallel port printer connection that must be adapted to most modern computers. We had to disable the bi-directional (or something similar) printer option in Windows or else it would take four minutes to print.

I too am waiting on this answer before I make a purchase. I was told that all wireless printers have the option to turn off the wireless but want to be certain of that. Can somebody please comment on this?

30-45 seconds - and it does NOT automatically "wake up" from sleep mode. You have to manually press the "power save" button. This is especially inconvenient for networked computers that aren't in the same room as the printer.

If you leave it on all the time you will have run the cleaning process more and that will use more ink, turning it off once a day is your best bet with this printer, We use two of these at our house.

Since mine is off between printings, I have not seen the problem. When it is asleep, it stays there.

I found it's better to unplug the printer at night, because it will do a cleaning cycle when plugged back in, it saves on ink or plugged heads on the printer that aren't replaceable!

No, not at all. My printer has been working GREAT since the swap out. there are instruction on the machine and youtube videos on this. I thought about buying a new printer since replacing them would cost so much but I am glad I didn't. this is a real good all-in-one and worth the money to change them. Hope this helps...

Robert, I LOVE this machine! You can turn it on with the switch at the top of the calculator, far left of the Heavy Duty logo, and switch to off/on/print. The choice is yours!
