reduce power consumption. If a further period of time elapses without the machine being used, the machine
automatically enters sleep mode, which minimizes power consumption. If the machine is not used while in sleep mode,
the power automatically turns off.

become dark to reduce power consumption. This status is referred to as Low Power Mode. "Low power." will be
