Setting the Power Key/Power Save Function

The usage of Power on the Control Panel and settings relevant to the power save function of this machine can be changed.

In the administrator mode, select [Maintenance] - [Timer Setting] - [Power Settings], then configure the following settings.

SettingsDescription
[Low Power Mode Setting]
Change the time required to automatically change to the Low Power mode after you did not operate this machine.
In the Low Power mode, the display of the Touch Panel is turned off to reduce power consumption.
The default is [15] min. (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.).
[Sleep Mode Setting]
Change the time required to automatically change to the Sleep mode after you did not operate this machine.
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.
The default is [20] min. (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.).
[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode]
Select whether to reduce the power consumption in the Sleep mode.
  • [Enabled]: Further reduces the power consumption in the Sleep mode. Select [Enabled] in normal conditions.
  • [Disabled]: Select this option when a smooth network communication is not established while [Enabled] is enabled.
[Enabled] is specified by default.
[Power Save Settings]
If [Power Save] is selected for [Power Key Setting], select the type of the Power Save mode you want to switch when pressing the Power key on the Control Panel.
  • [Low Power]: Switches to the Low Power mode. Turns off the display of the Touch Panel to reduce power use.
  • [Sleep]: Switches to the Sleep mode. 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.
[Low Power] is specified by default.
[Power Key Setting]
Select whether to use the Power key on the Control Panel as a sub power off key or power save key.
  • [Sub Power OFF]: Press the Power key to turn the sub power off. If the Power key is held down, the power save mode shifts to the ErP Auto Power Off mode (close to main power off mode), which offers a higher power saving effect than sub power off mode.
  • [Power Save]: Press the Power key to shift to the Power Save mode (Low Power or Sleep mode). Hold down the Power key to shift to sub power off mode.
[Sub Power OFF] is specified by default.
[Enter Power Save Mode]
When this machine receives a print job from a fax machine or computer in the Power Save mode, select the timing to switch to the Power Save mode after the print job has ended.
  • [Normal]: Switches to the Power Save mode based on the time specified in [Low Power Mode Setting] or [Sleep Mode Settings].
  • [Immediately]: Switches to the Power Save mode immediately after a print job has ended.
[Immediately] is specified by default.
[Power Saving Fax/Scan]
Select whether to give priority to the power saving when returning from the Sleep or sub power off mode to a mode other than the copy mode.
When returning to a mode without printing such as the scan/fax mode, do not adjust the temperature of the Fusing Unit in this machine, reducing the power consumption.
You can set this option when you have selected an option other than [Copy] in [Priority Mode] that is selected by [Administrator Settings] - [System Settings] - [Reset Settings] - [System Auto Reset] on the Control Panel.
  • [Power Save]: The temperature of Fusing Unit is not adjusted when the machine returns to the normal mode.
  • [Standard]: The temperature of Fusing Unit is adjusted when the machine returns to the normal mode.
[Standard] is specified by default.
[Awake from Power Save Mode by Touching Control Panel]
Select whether to return to the normal mode when you press the Touch Panel in the Power Save mode.
If you select [OFF], the machine returns to the normal mode only using the Power key.
[ON] is specified by default.
