Sleep Mode - Kyocera TASKalfa 181 Operation Manual

Basic Operation

Sleep Mode

Pressing the Power key puts the machine into a resting state (sleep mode) even when the main
power switch is on. Only the main power indicator lights up and all other indicators are turned off on
the operation panel. Consumed power in this mode is still less than in the low power mode.
Press the Power key again to resume copying operations. The recovery time before copies can be
made is 17.2 seconds.
Note
If the machine detects print data or received fax data in the sleep mode, the machine will
automatically recover and output of data will start.
This machine is equipped with the auto sleep function that automatically puts this machine into the
sleep mode if no operation has been performed on the machine for a preset period of time. The
factory default setting time is one minutes (1 to 120 minutes).
Copiers and printers are generally in a standby mode more than they are in actual operation, so
power consumption in the standby mode occupies a large part of overall consumption.
Automatically putting the machine in a resting state reduces unnecessary power consumption in the
standby mode, resulting in a lower electricity bill.
