Functions That Conserve Power

You can conserve power efficiently when the machine is not being
used by using the following modes.
IMPORTANT
Even if the main power switch is turned OFF, a small amount of energy is
consumed if the power plug is left inserted into the power outlet. If you do
not want any energy consumed,remove the power plug from the power
outlet.
NOTE
• The touch panel display turns OFF when the machine enters one of the
energy saving modes.
• The machine can continue to receive I-fax documents, and process or print
data sent from computers even if it is in one of the energy saving modes
described below.
■ Energy Saver Mode
The Energy Saver mode conserves energy by lowering the
temperature of the fixing unit when the machine is not used for a
prolonged period of time. You can set the machine to enter the
Energy Saver mode by pressing
reactivate the machine, press
control panel power switch to reactivate the machine.
NOTE
• The Energy Saver mode's energy conservation level can be set to '-10%',
'-25%', '-50%', or 'None'. (See "Energy Saver Mode," on p. A4-29.)
• When the Energy Saver mode is set to '-50%', the energy conservation
level is same as the Low-Power mode.
■ Sleep Mode
You can set the machine to enter the Sleep mode whenever you
desire, by pressing the control panel power switch. To reactivate
the machine, press the control panel power switch again.

again. You can also press the
NOTE
• The machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely depending on
certain conditions. (For more information, see "Energy Consumption in the
Sleep Mode," on p. A4-29.)
• The Sleep mode enables you to conserve more energy than the Low-Power
mode.
• Turn the control panel power switch OFF when not using the machine for a
prolonged period of time, for example, at night.
• If a Macintosh, which has been shut down, is connected to the machine
via a USB cable, when the machine returns from the Sleep mode, the
Macintosh may turn ON. In this case, disconnect the Macintosh from the
machine. (You may also be able to solve this problem by using a USB hub
between the machine and the Macintosh.)
• The time it takes for the machine to automatically enter the Sleep mode can
be set from 10 minutes to 4 hours. The default setting is '1' hour. (See "Auto
Sleep Time," on p. A4-54.)
• If Energy Consumption in Sleep Mode is set to 'Low', it may take more than
10 seconds for the touch panel to be displayed after pressing the control
panel power switch.
■ Low-Power Mode
The Low-Power mode conserves energy by turning OFF the control
panel, and reducing the power consumption of the fixing unit when
the machine is idle for a certain period of time (after the last print job
or key operation is performed).
