Automatically conserving energy (Sleep mode)
If no operation is performed for a specified length of time, the machine auto-
matically enters a mode where it conserves energy.
Although the machine conserves more energy in Sleep mode than in Low
Power mode, the machine must warm up when Sleep mode is canceled to
begin printing again, therefore taking more preparation time than Low Power
mode.
As the factory default, the machine enters Sleep mode after 30 minute.
To recover from Sleep mode
% Press the [Power Save]
key.
– The touch panel is
turned on, and the
machine starts
warming up.

Note
The Sleep mode can also be canceled by pressing any key in the control
panel or by touching the touch panel.
