Energy Saver Mode
The machine is installed with the Energy Saver feature that will automatically cut off the
electricity to the machine if no copy or print data is received for a certain duration.
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.
When the preset time settings specified for the Low Power mode and the Sleep mode are
the same, the machine directly enters the Sleep mode without entering the Low Power
mode.
