KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS
Energy save
Auto power shut-off timer
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer enters the auto power shut-off mode to save
power consumption at the maximum. This function
lowers the user's electricity bill, reduces waste of
natural resources, and cuts down on environmental
pollution.
[When using the operation panel on the main unit:]
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set
to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes
or 240 minutes.
[When using the operation panel with touch panel:]
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set
in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes.
NOTES
● We suggest you set the most appropriate time according
to your usage pattern.
● If you use the program “Auto power shut-off” (described
below) to disable the auto power shut-off mode, the
time set with this program will be ignored.
