Saving Energy

This section explains the printer's energy saving functions.

This printer has the following energy saving functions.

Energy Saver

If you do not use the printer for a certain period after an operation, or when you press the [Energy Saver] key, the display disappears and the printer goes into Energy Saver mode. When you press the [Energy Saver] key again, the printer returns to the ready condition. The printer uses less electricity in Energy Saver mode.

You can change the amount of time the printer waits before switching to Energy Saver mode after printing has finished or the last operation is performed under Energy Saver Timer.
