Setting

Description

[Low Power Mode Setting]

Change the time required to automatically shift to the Low Power mode after you did not operate this machine (default: [15] minutes, available range: [2] to [60] minutes).

In the Low Power mode, the display of the Touch Panel is turned off to reduce power consumption.

[Sleep Mode Setting]

When automatically shifting to sleep mode, set [Sleeping] to ON (default: ON). Also, change the time required to automatically shift to the Sleep mode after you did not operate this machine (default: [15] minutes, available range: [2] to [60] minutes).

Sleep mode provides a greater power saving effect than the Low Power mode. However, the time required to return to the normal mode is longer than the time required to recover from the Low Power mode.

[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode]

Select whether to reduce the power consumption in the Sleep mode (default: [High]).

  • [High]: Further reduces the power consumption in the Sleep mode. However, this machine cannot be returned from the Sleep mode when the door of the main unit is opened or closed.

  • [Enabled]: Reduces the power consumption in the Sleep mode.

  • [Disabled]: Select this option when a smooth network communication is not established while [High] or [Enabled] is enabled.

[Power Save Settings]

Select the power save mode (Low Power or Sleep) to be switched when the Power key on the Control Panel is pressed (default: [Low Power]).

[Power Key Setting]

Select whether to use the Power key on the Control Panel as a sub power OFF key or as a power save key (default: [Power Save]).

  • [Sub Power OFF]: Press the Power key briefly to turn the sub power off. If the Power key is held down, the power save mode is switched to the ErP Auto Power Off mode (similar to main power off mode), which provides a greater power saving effect than when the sub power is turned off.

  • [Power Save]: Press the Power key briefly to shift to the Power Save mode. Hold down the Power key to turn the sub power off.

[Enter Power Save Mode]

When this machine receives a print job from a computer in the Power Save mode, select the timing to switch to the Power Save mode after the print job has ended (default: [Immediately]).

  • [Normal]: Switches to the Power Save mode based on the time specified in [Low Power Mode Setting] or [Sleep Mode Setting].

  • [Immediately]: Switches to the Power Save mode immediately after a print job has ended.
