3.14Reducing electricity usage

This machine is equipped with two Power Save modes for conserving energy. In addition, the weekly timer allows use of the machine to be limited if days and time periods when the machine is not used are programmed.

Settings can be specified for these features from Administrator mode.

Low Power mode and Sleep mode

If no operation is performed on the machine for a specified length of time, the machine automatically enters a mode where it conserves energy. If no operation is performed on the machine for 15 minutes, the touch panel goes off and the machine enters Low Power mode. If no operation is performed for 20 minutes, the machine enters Sleep mode, where the energy conservation effect is larger (Factory default).

Manually entering a Power Save mode

Instead of waiting the specified length of time, the machine can be manually set to enter a power-saving mode in order to conserve energy. As a factory default, the machine is set to enter Low Power mode when the [Power Save] key is pressed.
