is the canon tr8620a power hungry? it feels warm even when I'm not using it.

— asked by Sam

Its power consumption is higher than a basic printer.

  • Operational power use: 7 watts.
  • Standby power use: 0.8 watts.

The warmth is from components remaining active in standby to maintain network connectivity for Wi-Fi and Alexa alerts.

If that didn't work to address your concern, there is no user-accessible power-saving mode beyond the standard standby.

Heads up: For maximum energy savings, you can connect it to a power strip and turn the strip off when not in use for extended periods. Be aware this will break the Wi-Fi connection and Alexa ink alerts until power is restored and the printer reconnects.
