Descriptions
Timers
The engine controller references the Energy Saver Timer to start the Low Power
Mode, and references the Auto Off Timer to start the Night/Off Mode. The user can
set these timers ( > System Settings > Timer Settings).
The Energy Saver Timer and the Auto Off Timer start at the same time (t
0
) when
the machine ends all jobs or when the user ends all manual operations. Note that
the Auto Off Timer does not wait for the Energy Saver Timer. Therefore, if the user
specifies a smaller value in the Energy Saver Timer, the Auto Off Timer expires
earlier than the Energy Saver Timer. In a case like this, the Low Power Mode is not
activated. Instead, the engine controller starts the Night/Off Mode when the Auto
Off Timer expires.
