This machine has the following energy saving functions.
Energy Saver
If you do not use the machine for a certain period after an operation, or when you press the [Energy

the [Energy Saver] key again, the machine returns to the ready condition. The machine uses less
electricity in Energy Saver mode.

If the machine remains inactive for a specified period, it automatically enters the same low power
state that it enters when the operation switch is pressed (indicator unlit). This function is called "Auto
Off".
You can change the Auto Off time under Auto Off Timer.
