    Disable auto power off mpc300

    Greetings from Spain, I have a small problem with an mpc300, when it goes into auto power off mode it doesn't print.
    My question is, is there a way to disable auto power off with some smc? In settings only let it go from 1 to 60 minutes.
    Thanks.

    From Service Bulletin:

    SUBJECT: CANNOT RECOVER FROM ENERGY SAVER MODE
    SYMPTOM:
    The machine cannot recover from Energy Saver mode after the Power Saving System firmware has been
    updated to version F.14 (M0265773B).
    CAUSE:
    There is a bug with Power Saving System version F14 firmware.
    SOLUTION:
    Update the Power Saving System firmware to version F.15 or newer.
    Temporary Solution:
    If you cannot update to version F.15 (and version F.13 or F.14 is installed), update the System/Copy
    firmware to version 1.04 (P/N M0265771F). This will also correct the symptom.

      The machine has this firmware:

      PowerSaving Sys F.17 M0265773E
      System/Copy 2.10 M0265771S
      another idea?
      Can I disable power saving?

        Try enabling SP5191, it stops the controller going to sleep when the machine goes into standby.
        It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

        Hit it.

          thank you very much for the idea, but it doesn't work, I've tried with 5191 at 0 and 1, it does the same thing, I send to prinnt, it receives it but it doesn't print it, I have to send the document twice for it to print it.

            That is very odd behaviour. Is the machine set up using an IP address or a WSD port?

              The machine is by ip, but I have also tried by wsd and it does the same.

                  In the printer driver check the setting for SNMP, simple network management protocol. It has been known to cause printing problems.

                    The driver is a "Universal" version ??? or on the contrary it is the specific pcl6 driver???
                    Universal drivers often do not respond correctly.
                    Is the IP on the device fixed (static IP) or using DHCP (dynamic IP)?
