Call your service personnel if you would like to change the switch setting.
Note that the user can not change the setting.
(2) To achieve the best image quality, we recommend that you use media that is unpacked
from the manufacture right before installing it into the printer.
If media is unpacked long before installation, poor image quality may occur.
(3) Re-appearance of image (solid black image especially) may occur if you print with a
humidified film.
When film is installed and the humidity is high (higher than 60%RH), we recommend
that you turn on the Dehumidify Heater.

Reference
The purpose of Cold Sleep Mode is to reduce the power consumption by shutting off to
supply the power to the heater unit.
It can save more power than Warm Sleep Mode.
The temperature of the heater unit is about 140 degrees centigrade when the Starprint 6000
is ready. But if no print job or copy job is sent for a long time, it is best for saving the power
to stop supplying the power to the heater unit completely.
The Cold Sleep Mode will be cancelled automatically if only you send a print job or a copy
job from the outer device.
However, please understand it takes a little long time to recover from the Cold Sleep Mode
because it is necessary to raise the temperature again up to about 140 degrees.
(Print does not start until the Starprint 6000 gets ready.)
Reference
When both the Cold Sleep Function and the Warm Sleep Function are effective, their
functions work as follows; (Both timers start simultaneously.)
As for the Warm Sleep Function, refer to page 3-14 to 3-16.
<Example 1>
In case that the Warm Sleep Timer sets 15 minutes and the Cold Sleep Timer sets 30
minutes, the printer will go into the warm sleep mode in 15 minutes after printing.
And the printer will go into the Cold Sleep Mode in 15 minutes after the printer goes into
the Warm Sleep Mode.
<Example 2>
In case that the Warm Sleep Timer sets 30 minutes and the Cold Sleep Timer sets 15
minutes, the printer will go into the Cold Sleep Mode in 15 minutes after printing.
In this case, the Warm Sleep Function is ineffective.

To make this mode work, it is necessary to make the Cold Setting Mode (User Mode 5) ON.

The purpose of Warm Sleep Mode is to reduce the power consumption by falling down the
