Saving Energy
This machine is equipped with the following Energy Saver modes: Energy Saver mode 1 and Energy Saver mode 2. If the machine has been idle for a certain period of time, the machine automatically enters Energy Saver mode.
The machine recovers from Energy Saver mode when it receives a print job, prints a received fax, or when the [Copy], [Color Start], or [B&W Start] key is pressed.
Energy Saver mode 1
If [EnergySaverMode1] under [Admin Settings] is enabled, the machine enters Energy Saver mode 1 if the machine has been idle for about 30 seconds. When the machine is in Energy Saver mode 1, the backlight of the screen is turned off and "EnergySaverMode1" appears on the screen. It takes less time to recover from Energy Saver mode 1 than from power-off state or Energy Saver mode 2, but power consumption is higher in Energy Saver mode 1 than in Energy Saver mode 2.
Energy Saver mode 2
If [EnergySaverMode2] under [Admin Settings] is enabled, the machine enters Energy Saver mode 2 after the period of time specified for this setting is passed. When the machine is in Energy Saver mode 2, the backlight of the screen is turned off and "EnergySaverMode2" appears on the screen. Power consumption is lower in Energy Saver mode 2 than in Energy Saver mode 1, but it takes longer to recover from Energy Saver mode 2 than from Energy Saver mode 1.
If the machine is in Energy Saver mode 2 for 24 hours continuously, the machine automatically returns to normal state and performs self-maintenance.
