Setting	Description
[Low Power Mode Setting]	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 Setting]	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. [Enabled]: Reduces the power consumption in the Sleep mode. [Disabled]: Select this option when a smooth network communication is not established while [High] or [Enabled] is enabled.
[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]).
[Enter Power Save Mode]	When this machine receives a print job from a 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]. [Immediately]: Switches to the Power Save mode immediately after a print job has ended.
[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. [Power Save]: Press the Power key briefly to shift to the Power Save mode. Hold down the Power key to turn the sub power off.

      - [Weekly Timer Settings]

Configure settings to automatically switch between power save and normal mode using the weekly timer function.

To use the weekly timer, specify the schedule for switching between power save and normal modes. Optionally, you can use the tracking function that automatically sets a schedule to fit your office usage.

Setting	Description
[Use Weekly Timer]	Configure the settings to use the weekly timer function. [Use Weekly Timer]: When using the weekly timer function, set this option to ON (default: ON). [Power Save Mode Setting]: Select the power save mode to which the machine enters based on the weekly timer (default: [ErP Auto Power OFF]). [ErP Auto Power OFF]: A mode that provides a higher more effective power saving effect. In this mode, you cannot receive all jobs. [Sleep]: This mode has a lower power saving effect than the [ErP Auto Power OFF] mode; however, it allows you to receive print jobs from a computer. The received jobs are printed when the machine returns to the normal mode. [Date Setting]: Configure the day to apply the weekly timer on. Specify the year and month to display the calendar, and select the desired day. Optionally, you can collectively configure the appropriate days for each day of the week with [Daily Setting]. [Work Time Setting]: Specify the time for switching to the power save mode ([OFF Time]) and the time for returning to the normal mode ([ON Time]) for each day of the week.
[Use Power Save]	When this machine is in normal mode to set the weekly timer, specify the time zone to temporarily switch the machine to sleep mode. [Use Power Save]: When specifying the time zone to temporarily switch the machine to sleep mode, set this option to ON (default: OFF). [Power Save Start Time]: Specify the time for the machine to enter the sleep mode. [Power Save End Time]: Specify the time to return the machine to the normal mode.
[Use Overtime Password]	Configure the setting for prompting the machine's user to enter the overtime password when this machine is shifting to power save mode by the weekly timer. [Use Overtime Password]: When prompting the user to enter the overtime password, set this option to ON (default: OFF). Also, enter the overtime password to be requested to the machine's user (using up to eight characters).
[Enable Tracking Function]	Configure the setting to use the tracking function that automatically adjusts the weekly timer On or Off time to fit the user's operating conditions or office usage status. When the tracking function is used, the inactive rate is calculated for each time zone based on the machine usage status over the past four weeks. Based on the inactive rate thus calculated, the (inactive) time zone in which the machine is not operating is determined, and the result is reflected to the weekly timer On or Off time. [Enable Tracking Function]: When using the tracking function, set this option to ON (default: OFF). [Auto Standby Adjustment Level]: Select the judgment criteria for non-operation, which is defined to be less than the minimum active rate requirement of the machine based on the calculated inactive rate (default: [Level 3]). If the inactive rate exceeds the selected value in a certain time zone, it is judged that the machine is inactive for the time zone. You can select the [Auto Standby Adjustment Level] from the following five levels. The higher the level, the more likely it is that the machine will be judged to be inactive. [Level 1]: The inactive rate is 71% or more. [Level 2]: The inactive rate is 51% or more. [Level 3]: The inactive rate is 41% or more. [Level 4]: The inactive rate is 31% or more. [Level 5]: The inactive rate is 10% or more. [Display ON/OFF Time]: Displays the switching times to enter the power save mode ([OFF Time]) and to the normal mode ([ON Time]) set by the tracking function. [Clear Usage Data]: Deletes data related to the usage status of this machine and resets the values for [OFF Time] and [ON Time] that have been automatically set.
