1.3.7 Automatically conserving energy (Sleep mode)
If no operation is performed for a specified length of time, the machine automatically enters a mode where it
conserves energy.
Although the machine conserves more energy in Sleep mode than in Low Power mode, the machine must
warm up when Sleep mode is canceled to begin printing again, therefore taking more preparation time than
Low Power mode.
As the factory default, the machine enters Sleep mode after 60 minutes (501)/15 minutes (421/361).
To recover from Sleep mode
% Press the [Power Save] key.
– The touch panel comes on again and, after the
machine has finished warming up, it is ready to begin
printing.
