Energy Saver Mode
The machine is equipped with the Energy Saver mode that reduces the power
consumption by saving the electricity to the machine when no copy or print data is
received for a specified time.
The Energy Saver feature has two modes: Low Power mode and Sleep mode.
The machine enters the Low Power mode after the preset time has elapsed if the
machine is left unused for a fixed period of time.
The machine then enters the Sleep mode if a further preset time elapses.
To enter the Energy Saver mode, press the <Energy Saver> button on the control
panel.
Low Power Mode
In this mode, the power to the control panel and fusing unit is lowered to save power.
The touch screen goes out, and the <Energy Saver> button on the control panel lights
up. To use the machine, press the <Energy Saver> button. The <Energy Saver> button
goes out to indicate that the Low Power mode is exited.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the power being sent to parts, such as the hard disk, is cut off and the
power is lowered even more than in the Low Power mode.
The touch screen goes out, and the <Energy Saver> button on the control panel lights
up. To use the machine, press the <Energy Saver> button. The <Energy Saver> button
goes out to indicate that the Sleep mode is exited.
It takes longer for the machine to recover from Sleep mode than from Low Power mode.
Changing the Interval for Entering Energy Saver Mode
This section describes the procedures for setting the Energy Saver mode.
To activate the Energy Saver, set the time to elapse until the machine enters the Low
Power mode as well as the time to elapse until the machine enters the Sleep mode.
Note • You can set the time to elapse until the machine enters the Low Power mode and the Sleep
mode from 1 to 240 minutes in 1 minute increments.
