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.
Tap [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 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. [15] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [60] min.). |
[Sleep Mode Settings] | 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. bizhub C658/C558/C458: [15] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [60] min.). bizhub C368/C308/C258: [20] minute is specified by default (allowable range: [2] to [60] 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.
This function is not displayed when the optional Image Controller is installed on this machine. [Power Save] is specified by default. |
[Power Save Settings] | When using this machine in the factory default status, choose this setting to select the type of the power save mode when pressing the Power key on the Control Panel.
[Low Power] 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.
[Immediately] is specified by default. |
[Power Consumption in Sleep Mode] | Select whether to reduce the power consumption in the Sleep mode.
This function is not displayed when the optional Image Controller is installed on this machine. [High] 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].
[Standard] is specified by default. |
[Awake from Power Save Mode by Touching Control Panel] | When low power mode or sleep mode has been established: if hands or man get closer to Touch Panel, you can select whether or not to restore from 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 specified by default. The adjustment value is [0]. |
[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 higher power saving effect than when the sub power is turned off.
