Power Saver Mode
The machine is installed with the Power Saver function that will automatically cut off the
electricity to the machine if no copy or print data is received for a certain duration.
There are two Power Saver modes: Low Power mode and Sleep mode.
Low Power Mode
The machine's power is not turned OFF completely in Low Power mode. Instead, this mode
creates a balance between low power consumption and short warm-up time by controlling
the temperature of the fusing unit to a level midway between the power OFF temperature
and the "Ready" temperature.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode minimizes power consumption by shutting off the power to all components
except the controller. Warm-up time in Sleep mode is longer than in Low Power mode.
Important •
The machine does not enter Sleep Mode when any error (other than Toner Empty or Drum Life End
error) occurred.
Entering Power Saver Mode
The display goes off, and the <Power Saver>
button of the control panel lights up when the
machine is in the Power Saver mode.
You can set the length of time to wait until the machine enters Low Power/Sleep mode.
Low Power mode is set to [1 minute] and Sleep mode to [1 minute] as default. If the
machine is left idle for 1 minute, it switches to Low Power mode. If it is left idle for another
minute, it switches to Sleep mode.
You can set the amount of time the machine waits before entering Low Power mode from
1 to 60 minutes, and the amount of time the machine waits before entering Sleep mode
from 1 to 239 minutes.
Important •
The fusing unit life is largely influenced by power distribution time on the machine. Setting the
amount of time the machine waits before activating the Power Saver function to a long value will
keep the machine's power on longer, and the fusing unit may have to be replaced more often. It
may cause an early replacement of the fusing unit of the machine. For more information, contact
our Customer Support Center.
For more information on how to set the time interval for Low Power mode and/or Sleep mode, refer to "Power Saver Settings
(General Setup)" (P.44).
