Energy Saving Mode
When the machine is not operated for a specified period of time, the machine enters the "Energy Saving
mode" automatically. "Energy Saving mode" has two modes, "Low Power mode" and "Sleep mode",
and the machine enters the Low Power mode first. In the factory default, the machine is configured to use
both modes.

mode under [Low Power Mode Timer].

panel display turns on.
