Switching to Power Save Mode Using the Power Key
When using the Power key as a Power Save key (at Factory Default)
When operating this machine in the factory default state, you can press the Power key to switch this machine to the Power Save mode (low power or sleep) or the Sub Power Off mode. Depending on how long the Power key is pressed, the state of the save mode to be activated will differ.
Power key | Status of this machine | Status of Power Indicator | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Short press | Low Power mode (Default) | Flash (blue) | Turns off the display of the Touch Panel to reduce power consumption. This machine returns to the normal mode when it receives data or faxes or when the user operates the Touch Panel. |
Sleep mode | Flash (blue) | Provides power-saving effect higher than Low Power mode. A time required to return to the normal mode is longer than Low Power mode. This machine returns to the normal mode when it receives data or faxes or when the user operates the Touch Panel. | |
Hold down | Sub Power OFF | Light-up (orange) | The power saving effect is the same as that of the sleep mode. While the sub power is turned off, this machine can receive data or faxes, however, it cannot scan or print an original. If data or faxes are received while the sub power is turned off, they are printed when the machine returns to the normal mode. To enable the machine to return to the normal mode from the Sub Power Off status, press the Power key again. |

Power key | Status of this machine | Status of Power Indicator | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Short press | Sub Power OFF | Light-up (orange) | This function reduces power consumption and has a greater power saving effect. While the sub power is turned off, this machine can receive data or faxes, however, it cannot scan or print an original.

To enable the machine to return to the normal mode from the ErP Auto Power OFF status, press the Power key again. |
NOTICE- Note that faxes cannot be received if the ErP Auto Power Off mode is selected in fax mode.
Tips- When the optional Image Controller is installed, the Power key cannot be used as a sub power OFF key.
