I have a (nice) Brother 5140 Laser printer. At first it's 'sleep' mode seemed the way to go, as it worked like it was off but with an always ready access. So I left it in sleep alla time even tho I only use it occasionally. Then I read up on these Bro laser printers, and in sleep mode they still use 75 watts... It's like constantly burning a 75W lightbulb when you don't hafta! Now I shut it off between usage. And I'm starting to wonder about my monitor's 'sleep' mode too..?
