Automatically Conserving Energy

The machine has three modes to automatically conserve energy.

•Auto Low Power

•Auto Shut OFF

•ErP setting

Auto Low Power

Auto Low Power conserves energy of the machine by lowering the power consumption.

If the machine is idle for a certain period of time while being able to output, the Power Save LED lights and the touch panel turns off lowering the power consumption of the machine. The Start LED turns red, while the Power LED keeps green.

When the same period of time is set for Auto Low Power and Auto Shut OFF, the machine power shuts off. The touch panel does not turn off if the Jam Position screen or the screen indicating current 2-sided printing is displayed.

To exit Auto Low Power

Press any key on the touch panel or the control panel. The machine can now print.

Auto Shut OFF

Auto Shut OFF achieves further energy conservation by reducing power consumption.

If the machine is idle for a certain period of time while being able to output, the touch panel display and LEDs other than the Power Save LED and Power LED turn off lowering power consumption of the machine.

The Power LED keeps green.

  • When the machine is in the Shut Off mode, only jobs from PageScope Direct Print (PSDP) can be output. To output other jobs, exit the Shut Off mode before using the machine.

  • If the machine is in the Shut Off mode for an extended period of time, it may take time to warm up when restarting.
