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