The LaserWriter 12/640 PS engine (the fuser, scanner and other internal parts, not including the main controller board) goes to sleep 10 seconds after the completion of a job. This is a low-level sleep feature and is a built-in, static characteristic of that print engine. It cannot be changed by the Apple Printer Utility or by downloading PostScript code.
Note: The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is Energy Star compliant and is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as such.
