Intelligent network speed for optimizing energy consumption at a printing device through the use of a variable network connection

摘要: A method for conserving energy at a printing device. The includes establishing, by network adapter operably connected to control system of the device, low-speed connection, thereby connecting device data transfer network; receiving, an indication least one incoming print job; determining, system, whether job requires high-speed connection; maintaining connection until determines and, in response determining that adapter, connection.
