Change the time required to automatically change to Low Power mode after you have not operated this machine for a fixed period of time. [15] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.). |
[Sleep Mode Settings] |
Change the time required before the machine automatically enter Sleep mode if you have not operated this machine. [20] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.). |

[Enter Power Save Mode] |
Select the timing for the machine to return to the Power Save mode after printing a job it has received in the Power Save mode from a fax machine or computer. [Immediately] is specified by default. |
[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode] |
Select whether to reduce power consumption in the Sleep mode. [Enabled] is specified by default. |
[Power Saving Fax/Scan] |
Select whether to give priority to the power saving when the machine returns from Sleep or sub power off mode to a mode other than copy mode. When returning to a mode that does not involve printing, such as scan/fax mode, power consumption can be reduced by not adjusting the temperature of the Fusing Unit on this machine.
You can set this option when you have selected an option other than [Copy] in [Priority Mode] that is selected by [Administrator Settings] - [System Settings] - [Reset Settings] - [System Auto Reset]. [Standard] is specified by default. |
[Awake from Power Save Mode by Touching Control Panel] |
Select whether to return to the normal mode without touching the Touch Panel when the machine is in Low Power mode or Sleep mode. Selecting a setting on the minus side decreases the sensitivity (shortens the sensing distance). Selecting a setting on the positive side increases the sensitivity (lengthens the sensing distance). [ON] is selected by default. The adjustment value is [0]. |
STEP 6 - Once the settings have been adjusted, click on [Close] button all the way to exit from admin mode.

Setting |
Description |
---|---|
[Low Power Mode Settings] |
Change the time required to automatically shift to the Low Power mode after you did not operate this machine (default: [15] minutes, available range: [2] to [60] minutes). In the Low Power mode, the display of the Touch Panel is turned off to reduce power consumption. |
[Sleep Mode Settings] |
Change the time required to automatically shift to the Sleep mode after you did not operate this machine (default: [15] minutes, available range: [2] to [60] minutes). Sleep mode provides a greater power saving effect than the Low Power mode. However, the time required to return to the normal mode is longer than the time required to recover from the Low Power mode. |
[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode] |
Select whether to reduce the power consumption in the Sleep mode (default: [High]). [High]: Further reduces the power consumption in the Sleep mode. However, this machine cannot be returned from the Sleep mode when the door of the main unit is opened or closed or when the original is loaded. |
[Power Save Settings] | Select the power save mode (Low Power or Sleep) to be switched when the Power key on the Control Panel is pressed (default: [Low Power]). |
[Power Key Setting] |
Select whether to use the Power key on the Control Panel as a sub power OFF key or as a power save key (default: [Power Save]). [Sub Power OFF]: Press the Power key briefly to turn the sub power off. If the Power key is held down, the power save mode is switched to the ErP Auto Power Off mode (similar to main power off mode), which provides a greater power saving effect than when the sub power is turned off. |
[Enter Power Save Mode] |
When this machine receives a print job from a fax machine or computer in the Power Save mode, select the timing to switch to the Power Save mode after the print job has ended (default: [Immediately]). [Normal]: Switches to the Power Save mode based on the time specified in [Low Power Mode Setting] or [Sleep Mode Setting]. |
[Power Saving Fax/Scan] |
Select whether to give priority to the power saving when returning from the Sleep or sub power off mode to a mode other than the copy mode (default: [Standard]). When returning to a mode that does not involve printing, such as scan/fax mode, power consumption can be reduced by not adjusting the temperature of the Fusing Unit on this machine. This option is available when an item other than [Copy] is selected in [Start-up display screen after reset] of [System auto reset] [Power Save]: The temperature of Fusing Unit is not adjusted when the machine returns to the normal mode. |
[Awake from Power Save Mode by Touching Control Panel] |
When recovering the machine from Power Save mode when a user moves closer to the Touch Panel, set this option to ON (default: [ON]). [Touch sensitivity adjustment]: Specify the sensitivity of Touch Panel reaction (default: [0]). The higher the number, the greater the sensitivity and reaction speed will be of the touch panel. |
