Power Saver
The machine has a power-efficient feature called Power Saver to minimize power
consumption during inactivity. When the machine is inactive for a specified period of
time, it activates the Power Saver feature.
The Power Saver feature has two stages: Low Power Mode and Sleep Mode.
The machine enters the Low Power Mode first if it remains inactive for a preset period
of time. Then it enters the Sleep Mode to further reduce power consumption.
Low Power Mode
When the machine enters the Low Power Mode, the machine reduces the power to the
Fuser Unit.
It may not be noticeable that the machine switches to the Low Power Mode, because
no change is visible on the surface. When the machine is in the Low Power Mode, no
particular action is required in order to use the machine. The machine simply exits this
mode when you press any buttons on the Control Panel or when you send a print job
or a scan job.
You can specify how long it takes to enable the Power Saver feature when the machine is in the System Setting
Mode (menu number: 11). For more information, refer to "System Settings" (P.123).
Sleep Mode
When the machine enters the Sleep Mode, the machine further reduces its power
consumption.
While the machine is in this mode, the Display goes out, and the <Power Saver> button
is lit. To exit the Sleep Mode to use the machine, press the <Power Saver> button.
You can specify how long it takes to enable the Power Saver feature when the machine is in the System Setting
Mode (menu number: 12). For more information, refer to "System Settings" (P.123).
Exiting the Sleep Mode
The machine exits the Sleep Mode in the following two instances:
• When pressing the <Power Saver> button
• When the machine receives a print job or a scan job
The following procedure describes how to exit the Sleep Mode manually.
