Energy Saver Mode
The machine is equipped with the Energy Saver mode that reduces the power
consumption by saving the electricity to the machine when no copy or print data is
received for a specified time.
The Energy Saver feature has two modes: Low Power mode and Sleep mode.
The machine enters the Low Power mode after the preset time has elapsed if the
machine is left unused for a fixed period of time.
The machine then enters the Sleep mode if a further preset time elapses.
To enter the Energy Saver mode, press the <Energy Saver> button on the control
panel.
Low Power Mode
In this mode, the power to the control panel is lowered to save power.
The touch screen goes out, and the <Energy Saver> button on the control panel lights
up. To use the machine, press the <Energy Saver> button. The <Energy Saver> button
goes out to indicate that the Low Power mode is exited.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the power supply to devices such as hard disk drive is suspended and the
power is lowered more than in the Low Power mode.
The touch screen goes out, and the <Energy Saver> button on the control panel lights
up. To use the machine, press the <Energy Saver> button. The <Energy Saver> button
goes out to indicate that the Sleep mode is exited.
The Sleep mode requires more time for the machine to exit and to be ready for use than
the Low Power mode.
Note • When you press the <Energy Saver> button during the Energy Saver mode, the touch
screen lights up. At this point, the document scanning unit and the output devices remain in
the Energy Saver mode. Afterwards, by operations such as using the touch screen and
opening or closing of the document cover, you can make the devices necessary to activate
the machine exit the Energy Saver mode and make the machine ready to start exiting the
Energy Saver mode.
• When you make the machine exit Energy Saver mode by pressing the <Energy Saver>
button, the machine does not immediately identify the movements such as opening or
closing of the front cover. To make the machine identify these operations, operate the
control panel before opening the front cover.
• If you replace toner cartridges or supply paper during the Energy Saver mode, the machine
does not identify these changes. Before performing these operations, exit the Energy Saver
mode by first pressing the <Energy Saver> button on the control panel and then pressing the
<Machine Status> button.

operation, the Low Power mode can be deactivated without pressing the <Energy Saver>
button. If the machine is in the Sleep mode, however, the Sleep mode will not be deactivated
by the operation. By setting longer time to elapse until the machine enters the Sleep mode,
you can make the machine exit the Energy Saver mode without pressing the <Energy
Saver> button. For more information on how to change the time to elapse until the machine
