<Energy Save> and Energy Save Mode
When the machine has been idle for a long period of time, the energy save mode will
activate to reduce power consumption. The energy save mode consists of the “low power
mode” and the “sleep mode”, which further reduces power consumption. Use <Energy
Save> to activate or cancel the energy save mode.
Low Power Mode
When <Energy Save> is pressed, the touch panel display and the various lamps are •
turned off and the printer enters a dormant state (the low power mode) to reduce power
consumption.
If the machine is not used for one minute, it will automatically enter the low power •
mode. This value can be changed in <Setting>
[Default Settings]
[Energy Save
Mode]
[Low Power Mode].
<Energy Save> illuminates green while the machine is in the low power mode.•
If a key is pressed while in the low power mode, the machine will return to the normal •
ready state.
Sleep Mode Setting
Press and hold <Energy Save> for three seconds to make the machine enter the sleep •
mode.
If the machine is not used for one minute in the low power mode, it will automatically •
enter the sleep mode. This value can be changed in <Setting>
[Default Settings]
[Energy Save Mode]
[Sleep Mode].
When in the sleep mode, all power is turned OFF, but documents scanned into memory •
can be transmitted and received documents can be printed.
<Energy Save> illuminates red while the machine is in the sleep mode.•
If <Energy Save> is pressed while in the sleep mode, the machine will return to the •
normal ready state.
Note
The energy save mode does not activate if the machine runs out of paper, a printing •
error such as a paper jam has occurred, or when paper in the bypass tray runs out
while performing bypass copying.
The time to cancel, or start, the energy save mode can be set. For details, refer to •
Chapter 1, “Specifying Default Settings” in the Administrator's Guide.
