Configuring the Power Key and Power Save Operations (for the administrator)

Configure the settings on how to use the Power key and the machine action in Power Save mode.

Press [Utility] - [Administrator Settings] - [System Settings] - [Power Supply/Power Save Settings], and configure the following settings.

Settings	Description
[Low Power Mode Settings]	Change the time required to automatically change to Low Power mode after you have not operated this machine for a fixed period of time. In Low Power mode, the display of the Touch Panel is turned off to reduce power consumption. [15] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.).
[Sleep Mode Settings]	Change the time required before the machine automatically enter Sleep mode if you have not operated this machine. Sleep mode provides a greater power saving effect than Low Power mode. However, the time required to return to the normal mode is longer than the time required to recover from Low Power mode. [20] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [240] min.).
[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. [Sub Power OFF]: Press the Power key to turn the sub power off. If the Power key is held down, Power Save mode shifts to 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 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.
[Power Save Settings]	If [Power Save] is selected for [Power Key Setting], select the type of Power Save mode you want to switch when pressing the Power key on the Control Panel. [Low Power]: Switches to Low Power mode. Turns off the display of the Touch Panel to reduce power consumption. [Sleep]: Switches to the Sleep mode. Sleep mode provides a greater power saving effect than Low Power mode. However, the time required to return to the normal mode is longer than the time required to recover from Low Power mode. [Low Power] is specified by default.
[Enter Power Save Mode]	Select the timing for the machine to return to the Power Save mode after printing a job it has received in the Power Save mode from a fax machine or computer. [Normal]: Switches to Power Save mode based on the time specified in [Low Power Mode Settings] or [Sleep Mode Settings]. [Immediately]: Switches to Power Save mode immediately after a print job has ended. [Immediately] is specified by default.
[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode]	Select whether to reduce power consumption in the Sleep mode. [Enabled]: Further reduces power consumption in Sleep mode. Usually, select [Enabled]. [Disabled]: Select this option when a smooth network communication is not established while [Enabled] is enabled. [Enabled] is specified by default.
[Power Saving Fax/Scan]	Select whether to give priority to the power saving when the machine returns from Sleep or sub power off mode to a mode other than copy mode. When returning to a mode that does not involve printing, such as scan/fax mode, power consumption can be reduced by not adjusting the temperature of the Fusing Unit on this machine. 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]. [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 without touching the Touch Panel when the machine is in Low Power mode or Sleep mode. If you select [ON], you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Selecting a setting on the minus side decreases the sensitivity (shortens the sensing distance). Selecting a setting on the positive side increases the sensitivity (lengthens the sensing distance). [ON] is selected by default. The adjustment value is [0].
