Saving Energy

This printer has the following energy saving functions:
Low Power mode
If the printer is not used for a certain period of time, it enters Low Power mode.
In Low Power mode, the printer consumes less electricity than in the standby mode by turning off the
display and lowering the temperature of the fusing unit heater. If the printer receives a job, it
increases the temperature of the fusing unit and perform printing, but the display remains off.

Power Mode Timer]. For details, see "System", Operating Instructions.
To exit Low Power mode, do one of the following:
• Start print jobs
• Press any key on the control panel

• Open any paper tray
The printer also exits Low Power mode when the ECO Night Sensor detects an increase in the
ambient light level.

printer goes into Fusing Unit Off mode. The printer uses less electricity in Fusing Unit Off mode.
