Energy Saving Functions

Previous Next

To reduce its power consumption, this machine has the following functions:

Low Power mode for Type 3, 4, and 5

If this machine remains idle for a specified period, it automatically reduces its electrical consumption.
The default period the machine waits before entering Low Power mode is 1 minute. This default time can be changed.

Sleep mode

If this machine remains idle for a specified period or when the [Energy Saver] key is pressed, it enters Sleep mode to further reduce its electrical consumption.
The default delay time the machine waits before entering Sleep mode is 1 minute. This default time can be changed.
The machine can print jobs from computers and receive faxes while in Sleep mode.

Specifications can vary depending on which options are installed on the machine.
For details about how to change the default interval, see "Timer Settings", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.
The machine enters sleep mode directly in the following situations:
- Low Power Mode Timer and Sleep Mode Timer are set to the same time
- Sleep Mode Timer is set to a shorter time than Low Power Mode Timer
Depending on which embedded software application is installed on it, the machine might take longer than indicated to enter Sleep mode.
