This printer has the following energy saving functions:
Fusing Unit Off Mode
If you do not use the printer for a certain period after an operation, the display will turn off and the printer goes into Fusing Unit Off mode. The printer uses less electricity in Fusing Unit Off mode.
When the printer is in Fusing Unit Off mode, the display is on but the fusing unit heater is off to save energy. In this mode, you can change the printer settings on the control panel. However, the printer must exit this mode to print.

To exit Fusing Unit Off mode, do one of the following:
