It sleeps when not in use. Notice (when you see it again) that there is no
power switch. At least, that's how my PLW 300 is, and IIRC, the 320 is the
same as the 300, plus PostScript, or more memory, or something.

Some people might call such a device an electrical vampire, because it takes
a small trickle of power all the time.
