Power Management
Energy Star® Compliance
Your mailing system is an Energy Star® qualified mailing system that automatically
goes into a low-power 'Sleep mode ' after a period of inactivity.
The mailing system automatically switches to 'Sleep mode' after 30 minutes of non-
activity. You can change this default setting in supervisor mode. You can also switch
to a low-power mode by pressing the Sleep/Wake button.
A very-low-power sleep mode called 'Soft off mode ' is also available. This mode
should only be used for long periods of non-use of the system. In this mode, the
system takes longer to wake up and the automatic postal updates cannot take place.
