6.15.2 LOW POWER MODE
Entering Low Power Mode
The machine enters low power mode when:
• The energy saver timer has expired following the last time engine components
or sensors were active (e.g. end of a copy job, platen cover lifted, key pressed,
etc).
User Tools - System Settings - Energy Saver Timer
The default setting is 15 min (NA), 1 min (Other)
If the energy saver timer setting is longer than the auto off timer setting, the
machine will not enter low power mode. It will enter night/off mode instead, when
the auto off timer runs out after the end of the job.
What Happens in Low Power Mode
There are three low power modes: Low power mode level 1, 2, and 3. The user can
select the level with a User Tool (System Settings—Energy Saver Level).

NOTE: When there a fax or printer option is installed, low power mode level 3 is
the same as night/off mode ( ☛ 6.15.3 Night/Off Mode). However, when no
fax or printer is installed, power switches off in night/off mode (but not in
low power mode).
When the machine enters low power mode, the fusing lamp drops to a certain
temperature and the operation panel indicators are turned off except for the main
power LED.
If the CPU receives the image print out command from an application (e.g. to print
incoming fax data or to print data from a PC), the fusing temperature rises to print
the data. However, the operation panel indicators stay off.
The fusing temperature for level 2 low power mode can be changed with SP1-105
(the default setting is 60°C).
