2.11.2 ENERGY SAVER MODE

Entering the energy saver mode

The operation manual uses the term 'panel off mode' for the timer.
The machine enters energy saver mode when one of the following is done.
• The panel off timer runs out
• The Clear Mode/Energy Saver Key is held down for one second
Note that the default setting of the panel off timer is 60 s, which is the same as the
auto off timer. In this condition, if the machine is not touched for 60 s, it will go
straight to auto off mode. If the user wants an energy saver mode and an auto off
mode, the panel off timer must be set to a shorter value than the auto off timer,

What happens in energy saver mode

When the machine enters energy saver mode, the fusing lamp drops to a certain
temperature, and the operation panel indicators are turned off except for the
Energy Saver LED and the Power LED.
If the CPU receives an image print out command from an application (e. g. to print
incoming fax data or to print data from a PC), the fusing temperature rises to print
the data.

Return to stand-by mode

If one of the following is done, the machine returns to stand-by mode:
• The Clear Mode/Energy Saver Mode key is pressed
• Any key on the operation panel or touch panel screen is pressed
• An original is placed in the ADF
• The ADF is lifted
• A sheet of paper is placed in the by-pass feed table
The recovery time from energy saver mode is about 3 s.
